Creative Curriculum

As a part of the "Creative Curriculum," we want your child to feel secure and independent to move from one activity to another as easily and confidently as possible.  We want to provide a variety of learning experiences for a well-rounded education.  Based on the theory that children learn through play, classroom routines encourage active involvement, meaning experimentation and reinforcement through repetition.  Schedules are designed to balance structure and free choice, as well as active and quiet times.
