Our Curriculum

We know from recent brain research that early experiences dramatically shape the way the brain is structured and how it functions. The windows of opportunity for optimum development occur at a very young age. We believe that children learn best through their interaction with real materials, other children, and caring adults.

Our curriculum was developed from current brain research and best teaching practices, and is inspired by the teachings of Reggio Emilia, High Scope, and the Program for Infant and Toddler Caregivers (PITC), and theories based on the works of Erikson, Vygotsky, Gardner, and Piaget.

Teachers conduct on-going assessments that involve observing, tracking, and measuring each child’s development progress. These assessments allow teachers to better design classroom activities that support the Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) for every child.

Learn About Our Programs

Infant Program – 6 weeks to 18 months

By the time a child is three, the brain has formed 1,000 trillion connections. Early childhood experiences profoundly shape the infant brain. Our infant program focuses on the individuality of each child. Highly trained teachers provide a warm, nurturing, and flexible environment that meets individual needs. Many teachers are bi-lingual.

Toddler Program – 18 Months to 36 months

Toddlers learn through play, interacting with their environment, and by interactions with other children and their bi-lingual, highly trained teachers. All of our Toddler activities foster growth in language development, and encourage children to express their feelings with words and expand their vocabulary.

Typical Toddler Schedule

Preschool Program – 3 to 5 years

The bi-lingual preschool curriculum is designed and run by highly trained educators to prepare children for kindergarten and school success. The more children know and understand about the world around them, the more independent and confident they become. The curriculum emphasizes creativity, making and keeping friends, and an appreciation of diversity.
