Our Curriculum
Our comprehensive curriculum for toddlers through advanced Pre-K provides an immersive and theme-based learning adventure. Through hands-on activities and projects, we engage children in a stimulating environment where they explore basic math, science, language, social/emotional, physical, and cognitive concepts. Our approach encourages creativity through a multitude of art and dramatic play activities, fostering self-expression and imaginative thinking.
Language and literacy development are given high priority, as we guide children through books, games, and early writing/reading activities. We focus on letter recognition, phonics, and early literacy skills, ensuring that each child is equipped with the necessary foundations for a successful transition to Kindergarten. Moreover, our curriculum promotes scientific inquiry and problem-solving abilities, captivating young minds with projects that inspire curiosity and hands-on experimentation.
Mathematics and critical thinking are seamlessly integrated into daily activities, incorporating educational games and puzzles that enhance numerical understanding and reasoning skills. Music plays a vital role in our curriculum, with daily exposure to rhymes, singing, and poems, providing a multi-sensory approach to learning and fostering a deep appreciation for the arts. Finally, we emphasize social and emotional development through group play, teamwork, collaborative partnerships, dramatic play, and storytelling, as these experiences form an integral part of our curriculum, nurturing well-rounded individuals.
Parents As Partners:
We believe in the power of collaboration between parents and our educational center to optimize your child’s learning experience. By partnering with you and other family members, we can create a cohesive approach to education, ensuring that the lessons learned at our center resonate deeply and continue to flourish at home.
As parents, you are warmly welcomed to participate in classroom activities and engage in the learning journey alongside your child. To further support your involvement, we organize periodic workshops and discussion groups. These sessions provide valuable insights into your child’s daily experiences, equipping you with the knowledge and tools to replicate a similar educational approach within your home environment.
Return On Investment:
When considering your child’s preschool education, it’s natural for thoughts of return on investment to arise. Surprisingly, a study conducted by economics researchers at the University of Chicago and Southern California revealed an intriguing finding. They discovered that quality early childhood education offers an estimated return on investment that is roughly 1.5 times that of the stock market.
Over extended periods, such as two to three decades, the historical average return of the US stock market has been approximately 10%. In comparison, quality early childhood education is projected to yield a return of around 13% over the same timeframe. This research highlights the profound value and long-term benefits that early childhood education can provide for your child’s future.
