Learning

Introduction

Our program focuses on the whole child.  A typical day follows a predictable schedule and includes varied learning experiences.  Children participate in literacy activities, science and math exploration, motor movement, as well as creative activities.  Learning takes place within large and small groups as well as individually.  Our program plans and implements teaching using the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards, which is endorsed by the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood.

Our goal is to prepare every child for success in school and in life.  We do this by supporting each child in a safe, nurturing environment.  We organize our classrooms, both indoors and outdoors, as learning areas where children can play, explore, and learn.  Equipment and furniture is child sized and encourages children’s independent use.  Classroom schedules provide a consistent routine and simple classroom rules help maintain a safe and predictable environment.  Children become comfortable in this familiar setting.  They gain independence and skills as they work together and care for their classroom.
