CURRICULUM

PHYSICAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT

It is never too early to begin teaching students about their physical health and well being. We take our students outside every day, as well as guide them through stretching and yoga on a weekly basis. We also incorporate teaching them about their physical health by explaining what vitamins and minerals are in the foods we eat and talk about why it is important. For example, Applesauce has Vitamin C, and we need to go outside so we can get Vitamin D from the sun!

MUSIC AND SINGING

Music is something that all humans enjoy. We like to take it a step further by incorporating singing and dancing into our daily schedule. It is important to use the piano and other instruments while we use our entire bodies to dance along with the A-B-Cs and other educational songs.

ART AND CREATIVITY

Albert Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” We help encourage every student’s imagination through art and creativity. We have them color, paint, cut, and create everything from mosaics to houses. All the while, we help them imagine traveling to far away countries and exploring the different cultures.
