Our Curriculum:

Teachers seek to enrich the growth of each child with planned activities that include all areas of learning: social/emotional, language, math, science, social studies, technology, music and the arts.

Teachers actively listen as children question concepts and strive to master ideas and information. Classroom activities address children's interests, challenge their emerging skills, and lead to their deeper understanding of the world around them.

The Work Sampling Illinois© assessment system combined with the Illinois State Early Learning Standards are used to provide important information about your child's development and progress. The Ounce Scale© is used with children under 3 years of age.


Guidance...

Young children must experience trust and respect in order to build essential lifelong social and emotional skills. Teachers create a positive environment where children learn the necessary skills to develop self-control, manage impulses, participate in satisfying social relationships, and develop communication and problem solving skills. Techniques used to foster guidance include:

  • Establishing clear, simple, and consistent rules
  • Modeling appropriate behavior for children
  • Assisting in interactions among children
  • Fostering communication and negotiation skills in children
