The Goals of Our Curriculum

The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. Our goal is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We're teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but also all through their lives. We're allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We're giving them good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives.

An annual assessment, as well as ongoing assesments, are used in conjunction with the curriculum to evaluate your child's level of learning.

Social

• To help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel that they are part of the group.

Emotional

• To help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude towards 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.
