Curriculum

The Core Knowledge Curriculum has an explicit set of skills that provide the stepping stones children need to achieve developmental goals. This curriculum allows our teachers to identify the abilities of individual children and develop experiences and activities that will meet each child’s needs in the following areas:​

  • Movement and Coordination
  • Autonomy and Social Skills
  • Work Habits
  • Language and Literacy Development
  • Mathematics
  • Orientation in Time and Space
  • Science
  • Music
  • Visual Arts

Each child will receive an individualized assessment of the core knowledge skills developed throughout the year. We recognize the need to provide classes tailored to the age of the students.
