Play-Based Approach to Preschool Learning

our curriculum

Our curriculum is age appropriate. It focuses on social-emotional and cognitive development. Through exploration and hands-on activities that are both child-centered and teacher-directed your child will love to learn. Our theme related centers emphasize the process rather than the product, which creates a sense of accomplishment.

circle time

We read stories, share finger plays, learn rhymes, and sing songs. Art projects are discussed and children’s birthdays are celebrated! 


Science

Children’s curiosities are sparked through discoveries, exploration, and experiments. 


Art

Art is something that children do! Our focus is on the creative process rather than the product. 


dramatic play

Using imagination to the fullest, children explore different roles while engaging with classmates. 


MANIPULATIVES / BLOCK BUILDING 

Children problem solve, develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Designing creative structures, using peg boards, puzzles, lacing beads, sorting and matching enhances cognitive and social skills. 

MUSIC 

We can sing a rainbow! Children enjoy creative expression in song, rhythmic movement, and listening. 


EXERCISE 

Children will be moving and grooving while doing Yoga and Zumba! 


GROSS MOTOR SKILLS 

Ready…set…jump, crawl, slide, balance, hop, and climb! 


MUD KITCHEN 

Messy! Sensory play provides children with a sense of calmness and freedom. All you need is dirt! 


GARDENING 

By gardening together, we will plant something very special in the hearts, minds, and spirits of each child. Children will have the chance to plant various seeds and learn about science and nature.
