LESSON PLANS & CURRICULUMS

In order to maintain our program goals in the classroom, we will have a new, updated lesson plan each week that will be posted on the parent board. Each week, we will cover cognitive development, early literacy as well as small and large motor skills. During free play areas, the children will have full access to the classroom’s learning areas which include table toys, manipulative, blocks, dramatic play, sensory, science, storytelling, books, music, art supplies and outdoor play (dependent on weather conditions).

Our curriculums focus on child care development, creativity and cultural knowledge. Furthermore, our curriculum emphasizes each child’s active involvement in developing and participating in classroom activities. We feature an emergent curriculum. We plan our lesson plans upon the collective interests of the children.
