Cognitive Development: We highlight children’s ability to understand and think about the physical and social worlds. In particular, we focus on children’s knowledge of objects in the world around them; their mathematical knowledge; numbers and colors, and appreciation of art in their lives. Physical Development and Wellbeing: The ability to engage in daily activities by focusing on children’s physical health. We accomplish our goals by taking into consideration the child’s unique disposition for becoming involved in learning and acquiring knowledge. Our curriculum is written specifically to meet and/or exceed the State of Massachusetts “Early Learning Guidelines for Toddlers and Preschoolers”. A weekly curriculum will be planned based on the educational goals and objectives. Projects, manipulatives, and activities will tie back to the “Guidelines”.
