Our curriculum
includes an age appropriate, developmental centers approach;
meaning that an environment is created around various centers of
play (play is a child's work). These centers include art, music,
block activity, books / language development, housekeeping /
dramatic play, and manipulative play (activities and toys to aid
in the development of small muscle control and other early
learning skills). Each day's schedule includes free play at
centers, circle time activities, outside play, snack, and Bible
story time.
This
curriculum operates within the framework of a monthly theme and
