Curriculum

Our curriculums were specifically designed by the Discovery Years Educational Committee. Headed by a Masters of Education teacher, the committee collectively comprises over 20 years of teaching experience.

Infant Curriculum

[Toddler] Our infant curriculum, Beginnings, insures that ample personal attention to the developmental needs of each child are met. Activities in the curriculum are designed to take advantage of how a baby's daily routine can serve as a basis of learning throughout the day. They are centered on playtime, cuddling time, meal, diapering and rest time. Books, songs and rhymes, games, face to face interactions, and fine and gross motor activities are integrated into our program on a daily basis. Beginnings is flexible enough to respect each baby's individuality and each family's unique parenting style.

Toddler Curriculum

Our toddler curriculum, Explorations, incorporates concrete themes that allow toddlers to form perceptions about their world through their rapidly developing skills. Toddlers are active learners; they learn language, problem solving skills, and fine and gross motor skills through investigation, experimentation and repetition. Explorations provides teachers with the framework to promote the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of toddlers. It is based on the series Toddlers Together by Cynthia Catlin.

Preschool Curriculum

[Girl with Flower] Our preschool curriculum, Foundations, is an all emcompassing curriculum that provides teachers with a framework that allows them to present each unit topic through multiple means including critical thought, language, math, science, music, movement and creative arts. This allows each individual child the opportunity to involve themselves in activities that they find motivating. The Foundations curriculum incorporates our Emergent Literacy Program which is a balanced approach to early literacy. The results are children learning to their fullest potential while promoting a strong self esteem.

Kindergarten Enrichment Curriculum

Our kindergarten enrichment curriculum, Connections, reinforces what children learn in kindergarten while introducing them to material that is fresh and exciting. Children gain knowledge of the history, traditions and cultures of children around the globe. Earth sciences and biology are delved into through hands-on experiments and investigations, and students find out about leaders in our communities and in history. Connections expands the kindergarten child's world.
