What is the curriculum?
The center follows an Emergent Curriculum inspired by the schools in Reggio Emilia Italy. Our approach to early childhood education encourages explorations and questions that offer the child the opportunities to discover their world and community. The teachers explore and discover with the children while providing a framework for learning. We support learning, discovery, creativity, and the development of independence and problem solving. Our classrooms provide a joyful place to safely explore the questions and ideas that children have.
