Curriculum

Each classroom develops and posts weekly lesson plans based on ages and developmental levels of their students. Our teachers use the Read It Once Again curriculum and Early Learning Standards to drive instruction in all developmental areas. We believe it's also important to provide different types of sensory exposure, outdoor exploration, and STEAM exercises for our children. Our teachers complete the CDC Developmental Milestones in the fall and spring to provide documentation on important milestones reached during the school year.
