Growing Years Curriculum

Our Curriculum

The most important goal of early childhood curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners, encouraging them to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts.

Our curriculum identifies goals in four areas of development:

• Social: To help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, understand and respect cultural diversity, and feel they are a part of the group.
• Emotional: To help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, be able to identify, express, and accept their feelings, and have a positive attitude toward life.
• Cognitive: To help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings.
• Physical: To help children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do.

The activities we plan for children, the way we organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedule, and talk with children, are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give your child a successful start in school.
