Our multicultural toddler and early preschool curriculum is designed to help your child reach their maximum potential in all areas of development including:
Our language curriculum for toddlers & early preschoolers provides a language and print-rich environment that encourages your toddler’s & early preschoolers progress towards achievement of age-appropriate developmental milestones. As toddlers & early preschoolers grow in their capabilities to express themselves, our teachers expand their Spanish vocabulary and engage them in rich conversations. Phonological awareness is seen in the ways that children engage with word games, songs and rhymes. We provide opportunities to interact with books and story reading experiences every day which helps build initial concepts of print and early comprehension.
Cognitive development for toddlers & early preschoolers’ includes early math and science. Toddlers begin to understand one-to-one correspondence and expand their spatial understanding. Our curriculum also focuses on counting from 1 to 10, beginning awareness of shapes, matching, comparing, and sorting. Numbers for young preschoolers are from 1-30. Early science includes simple, mini-experiments, discussing how things work, the use of objects as tools and simple strategies to carry out ideas. Active exploration and sensory experiences are provided daily.
To promote motor development, health and well-being, our curriculum provides an environment that enables children to understand how their bodies work, what they need and how to protect and take care of ourselves. Teachers provide activities that help toddlers & early preschoolers develop and strengthen their large and small muscles and lay the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits.
The curriculum for the social and emotional development domain includes three components: Self and Emotional Awareness, Self-Management and Social Understanding and Relationships. Toddlers & early preschoolers are ready to explore their world independently, but are also comforted by having the support of caring adults. As verbal skills develop, toddlers & early preschoolers express their needs, wants, and emotions. Therefore, teachers model respect, cooperative behaviors and encourage children to reflect on themselves and their peers as well as follow routines, attempt new challenges, and to engage in parallel play with other children. A daily routine with built-in variety provides stability and comfort while encouraging toddlers to expand their horizons and develop new skills.
Our art multicultural curriculum includes multi-step art projects, and encourages the growth of creativity daily through access to a variety of dress up, fantasy, recycled art projects and real-world toys. Teachers provide meaningful creative experiences to nurture children’s art appreciation and develop creativity and innovation. Children create their own masterpieces every day. Individual expression is also honored through a daily time to dance and move.
