Programs

Programs

Our programs are built on The Creative Curriculum. It is designed to meet the needs of both children and families through specific goals and objectives. We focus on building off of the strengths of each child, taking advantage of every teachable moment. The atmosphere is friendly, energetic, learning positive, and encourages healthy habits.

We believe families are a child’s first and most important teachers. Our program emphasizes family engagement through open communication, regular updates, family events, and opportunities for parents to contribute to classroom activities with our open-door policy. We value strong partnerships and invite families to share their traditions, languages, and experiences, enriching our learning community.

Cultural inclusiveness is woven throughout our curriculum and daily routines. We celebrate diversity by incorporating books, materials, music, and discussions that reflect a wide range of cultures, backgrounds, and family structures. By creating an inclusive environment, we help every child feel seen, respected, and empowered to share their unique identity.

Through thoughtful planning, responsive teaching, and a welcoming, inclusive community, our program inspires children to become confident, curious learners who are ready to thrive in school and beyond.

​​

Our Infant Program, for Infants, offers a warm, responsive environment where babies (ages 6 weeks to 18 months) can safely explore, grow, and thrive. Grounded in research and best practices, the curriculum focuses on nurturing secure attachments, supporting developmental milestones, and encouraging early learning through meaningful interactions and routines. Teachers thoughtfully plan individualized experiences that promote sensory exploration, motor development, and early communication, all while honoring each child’s unique rhythms and needs. With a strong emphasis on relationships and responsive care, our program lays the foundation for lifelong learning and healthy development.

Our Toddler Program is for Toddlers & Twos. This program provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where young children can grow through exploration and discovery. Designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years, the program supports early development across all domains—social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and language—through intentional, play-based learning experiences.

Using The Creative Curriculum, our teachers create responsive, developmentally appropriate activities that reflect each child’s unique interests and needs. Through hands-on materials, engaging routines, and caring relationships, toddlers are encouraged to build independence, strengthen communication, and develop essential skills in a warm, supportive setting.

Our Preschool Program offers a comprehensive, child-centered approach that promotes the development of the whole child through purposeful play and project-based learning. Designed for children ages 3 to 5, the curriculum supports growth in all key domains—social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and language—while laying a strong foundation for kindergarten readiness.

Using The Creative Curriculum’s in-depth studies—such as Trees, Buildings, Clothing, and Simple Machines—teachers build engaging investigations based on children's interests and real-world experiences. These studies encourage critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving as children explore meaningful questions through hands-on exploration and collaborative learning.

Facilitating Education
 

At our childcare center, we facilitate education by implementing The Creative Curriculum, a comprehensive, research-based framework that promotes active learning, creativity, and child-centered exploration. Grounded in developmentally appropriate practices, our approach supports the whole child—socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically—through purposeful play and intentional teaching.

Our educators act as facilitators of learning by:

  • Designing rich, engaging environments where children feel safe to explore and express themselves.

  • Using observations and assessments to individualize instruction based on each child's strengths, needs, and interests.

  • Guiding learning through hands-on activities, project-based investigations, and meaningful routines that build skills across all domains.

  • Building warm, responsive relationships with children and fostering strong connections with families to support each child’s unique development.

Through The Creative Curriculum, we empower children to become confident, curious, and capable learners, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
