Creative Curriculum

All children, including those with special needs, deserve a place to learn that is structured, safe and nurturing.  

​

• For safety and security: Children need structure and limits to ensure their physical and emotional safety and security. Unstructured environments are detrimental to children’s healthy development. 

​

• For learning about the world and the people in it: By learning rules and understanding limits on their behaviors, children are educated about the world and how to get along with the people in it. By partnering with families, it helps us learn about individual children’s cultures and the work they do in the community. Partnering with families helps us learn about individual children’s cultures and the work they do in the community. 

​

• For understanding about disappointment and frustration: In a structured environment, children learn how to handle feelings of frustration and disappointment. They also learn how to delay gratification. These are important skills for later in life. 

​

• For developing self-responsibility: Limits and demands provide children with an opportunity to learn self-control and to make responsible choices on their own. 

Children learn best through play. 

​

• Through play, children learn about themselves, their environment, people and the world around them. As they play, children learn to solve problems and to get along with others. They enhance their creativity and develop leadership skills and healthy personalities. 

​

• Play develops skills children need to learn to read and write. Play in early childhood is the best foundation for success in school.  

​

Basing our curriculum on child directed activities gives us the opportunities to build on their interests.
