The goal of our curriculum is to help children become  creative thinkers, self-confident, and independent. The activities that we plan, the way we arrange each classroom, and the way the staff interacts with the children are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum. Each classroom is set up with a variety of "interest centers" such as blocks/construction, dramatic play, books/music, art, water/sand tables, and large muscle. A typical day at the center revolves around small group activities; circle time; letter of the week activities; interest centers, and outside play. Even meal times are a time for learning, as children are taught to self-serve, pass the food on to their friends, and use their manners.

Our curriculum begins right in the infant room, where teachers plan activities based on each child's developmental stage. Even before our babies can sit up by themselves, we involve them in Circle Time, where teachers sing songs and read books. We start teaching sign language in the infant room, so that before they even have verbal language skills, our babies can use simple sign language to communicate their needs. The older babies also participate in art projects, and water play during the summer.

The toddler room is a very busy place, besides working very seriously on potty training, we have lots of activities going on. Circle Time includes singing,reading stories, learning to count and recognize written numbers, singing the alphabet and recognizing written letters, and recognizing colors and shapes.  You'll see lots of art projects happening in the toddler room, as well as dramatic play, sensory, and large motor activities (to exercise those fast growing large muscles). We are learning table manners at meal times, as well as learning to recognize our written names by finding them at the table. At this age we work a lot on social skills, helping our toddlers learn to share, and teaching appropriate ways of handling emotions. We continue to work on our sign language with the addition of a new sign each week.
