Program and Curriculum

We describe our school program as a developmentally and age appropriate – i.e. children pursue age-appropriate activities that meet their developmental needs.

Program Highlights

Art Activities

CraftsMost of our wide variety of tasks are fostered through art activities. Art activities help foster creative and divergent thinking in addition to fostering the child individually. It allows for expression of feelings, moods and ideas. Hand-eye coordination is practiced. Art activities foster cognitive growth through helping the child understand, organize and utilize concepts. Finally, art activities help develop early writing and reading skills.

Theme-Based Learning

Ocean ThemeOur curriculum is thematic based. An example of our thematic approach would be “The Ocean”. Children learn all about a variety of fish that live in the ocean. We decorate our classroom to reflect the oceanic theme and design activities through the children’s art.

Letters and Numbers

Letters and numbers are offered to children at age 3 and older. The 3 year old children focus on the upper-case letters while the 4-5 year old children focus on both the upper and lower case letter in preparation for kindergarten.
