Curriculum
The curriculum your teachers use is centered around the Creative Curriculum, which is a top-ranked, research-based program designed for early childhood education. This curriculum fosters children’s confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills through hands-on, project-based investigations. It's tailored to meet the needs of the whole child by supporting development in areas such as social-emotional, physical, language, literacy, and cognitive skills. Additionally, the curriculum aligns with state early learning standards, including the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards (CTELDS), ensuring that your program meets all educational requirements while focusing on individualized instruction for every child.
