Our curriculum includes sharing and conversation time, stories and finger plays, music and movement, learning centers, small and large muscle activities, field trips, food preparation and structured learning activities with exposure to shapes, colors, numbers and letters.  Planned curriculum activities help develop the social, emotional, physical and intellectual abilities of each child. We utilize the Frog Street Curriculum, a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that integrates intentional instruction in key developmental domains.  Frog Street is utilized in our Toddler through Pre-K classes.
