Curriculum

We believe that young children best learn by guided exploration through play with some 

direct instruction. Therefore, our daily schedule reflects a balance of exploratory learning, 

small group work, and whole group learning opportunities. STEAM Education is an approach 

to teaching and learning that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math 

to guide student through inquiry, discussion, and problem-solving. A sample daily schedule 

will be provided.

Our preschool program has weekly and monthly themes. These are designed to meet 

curriculum needs and/or build on the children's interests. Activities are designed to have 

children learn and discover new things each day and more importantly develop a love of 

learning. We have a range of activities each day and make them developmentally appropriate

for each child. These are some of our curriculum goals.
