Toddlers follow a daily schedule that involves a developmentally-appropriate balance of both child-initiated and teacher-directed activities. Teachers design a safe, nurturing environment that promotes social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language growth in our young learners. Children learn through indoor and outdoor play and exploration, books and stories, music and movement, dramatic play, art and sensory experiences.

As you enter our preschool classrooms you will notice the classroom's physical space is divided into interest areas. The interest areas are Art, Blocks, Dramatic Play, Discovery, Sand and Water, Toys and Games, Music and Movement, Library, Technology and Cooking. The interest areas contain open ended activities for the children to explore. These activities will support our six content areas which include science, social studies, literacy, math, the arts and technology. The skills your children will develop while participating in the interest areas are directly tied to the Michigan Early Childhood Standards.

Creative curriculum is a proven research based curriculum. This is a developmentally appropriate practice that matches the way children learn and develop. The teacher is the classroom facilitator. As the classroom facilitator the teacher guides, observes, and accesses your child's learning. We use the Creative Curriculum Study Starters to develop our lessons. Study Starters are models to help implement and investigate project based learning. Studies are one of the most effective ways for children to learn science and social studies content while developing skills in literacy, math, the arts, and technology. The children become totally engaged in topics and activities that interest them while challenging them to extend thinking to higher levels. 

The parent's role is essential in supporting their child's learning. Within the creative curriculum approach, there are many opportunities to involve families.

Our Before and After Care program provides a nurturing environment in a relaxed atmosphere where children participate in art experiences, hands-on activities and outdoor play.
