Our ProgramsWe work with an Emergent Curriculum. This is a planning process that takes place among the children and the teachers. The teachers learn about children’s needs and interests from documentation. Because child development is so individual, children are grouped in any of these groups: Nido, PK-3 and PK-4(VPK).
-
Nido(12-24 months old) At this age, children expand their curiosity and begin to explore the world around them by using their new gross motor skills (crawling and walking). Through daily routines and play, children are involved in an early stimulation program.
-
PreK3(3 Years old) At this age, children explore ways to become independent. Adult’s role is to support children’s desire to do things by themselves, but with proper supervision. Children’s classrooms are organized into learning centers. The most common learning centers are: dramatic play, sand and water, blocks, art, science, writing and reading. However, each teacher may create or name their own learning centers in accordance with the children’s interests.
-
PreK4(4 Years old) Our program will provide age appropriate and individualized activities for young children. At this age, children are more independent and able to manipulate their environment. As they grow, they are better able to understand other points of view. Children’s classrooms are organized into learning centers. The most common learning centers are: dramatic play, sand & water, manipulatives, blocks, art, science, writing and reading. However, each teacher may create or name her own learning centers in accordance with the children’s interests.
