Exemplary Curriculum!
Our personalized curriculum is designed to meet each child’s individual needs.
We primarily speak English in our facility; however, we are open to new experiences and lessons in different cultures. We welcome any and all cultures!
We strive to be inclusive and provide a family type personal environment. All children will be included in all activities, whenever possible.
All of our toys are designed to be developmentally appropriate for all of our children.
-For our children under two years of age our selection of toys includes, but is not limited to: teethers, music boxes, books, stuffed animals, dolls, trucks, stacking toys, puzzles, etc. by using bins and cubbies
all of our toys are easily reached by everyone: crawlers to walkers! A baby's interest is always peaked by the fact that they can reach everything.
Additionally, we break our play area into centers. If a child has a special ability, supplies and adults can be right on hand to help support and encourage an interest or skill.
