Play Based Curriculum:
The Play Based Curriculum includes developmentally appropriate goals and objectives for children within six main categories of interest: Social/Emotional, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Cognitive, Creative Expression, and Language and Literacy. We also have two Enhancements which are Circle Time activities, and Sensory Bins.
The Play Based Curriculum helps teachers interact with children in ways that promote development and learning, foster children's social competence, support children's learning through play, create rich environments for learning, and forge strong home-school connections.
Hippos & Owls
These rooms will include the ages of 6 weeks to 18 months. Each child is lovingly cared for by their primary caregiver according to their schedules. Children will be cared for in these rooms until they are ready to begin potty training. These rooms will be staffed with up to three nurturing teachers, of which one will be assigned as your child’s primary caregiver.
Giraffes and Elephants
These classrooms serve ages 19 months to 3.5 years, or until fully potty-trained. These rooms are an important transition that helps your child move from an infant to an active toddler. These rooms have access to a potty-training bathroom so that our staff can help your child achieve full potty-trained status. These rooms will be staffed by one to three nurturing teachers, one of whom will be assigned as your child’s primary
caregiver.
Monkeys & Lions
This classroom serves ages 3 to 5 years, or until they go to kindergarten. All children in this room must be fully potty trained. The preschool program is designed to utilize the Center Curriculum to prepare your child to move to kindergarten. The days are a little bit more structured and include more teacher-guided activities such as group/circle time.
