Curriculum OverviewA developmentally appropriate curriculum focuses on nurturing the whole child; social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs. Using thoughtful observations of every child, learning experiences are developed by the teachers to meet every child’s developmental needs and interests.

Our curriculum balances emergent and child-initiated approaches to learning through play.
