     Curriculum and Activities

 

When a child enters our program, he/she enters with a wealth of knowledge obtained from home - through family, culture, and community.

 

The curriculum is built around the strengths, needs and interests of the individual children. The provider and teachers obtain knowledge about child’s development from parents and use it to customize the activities and to what is individually appropriate.

 

Staff and Teachers prepare the environment:

 

• From making observations of each individual child’s interests and developmental levels

• By planning age and developmentally appropriate activities

• To design specific learning activities for small groups

• To reflect the cultures of the children represented and society as a whole

• By interacting with children in ways, which introduces them to new concepts and continuously build upon prior experiences

 

We believe:

 

• All children share certain needs and can benefit from a comprehensive interdisciplinary program that will foster social, emotional, cognitive, psychomotor and language/linguistic development through a broad range of services.

• In using a child-centered approach

• In providing an environment that promotes learning

• In providing activities based on children’s interests, developmental skills, culture and language

• The focus of the curriculum must come from the children
