Preschool Curriculum:
Small group size ensure each child receives individual attention by a qualified and passionate teacher. My teaching style is a balance of structure and play based learning. Kids are playful learners and learn naturally when given developmentally appropriate activities to choose from as well as positive guidance and consistency. Our class room and play room are stocked with literature, hands-on anytime learning activities and opportunities for creative play. Our curriculum themes are inspired by children's interests and stages of development, we work on literacy based activities through story time and progressive phonics. our daily activities are designed to be fun, engaging, creating enthusiasm for learning. Our program continues to challenge the children through out the preschool years up to kindergarten readiness by age 5. TV is only allowed 1/2 hour at pick up time.
~~Every moment is a teachable moment~~
Our curriculum involves the Massachusetts Curriculum Guidelines for Preschoolers:
