What philosophy or curriculum do you adhere to?
We follow The Creative Curriculum© for Preschool, which provides research-based content and teaching practices to support children’s development and learning. Our teachers integrate diverse skills and knowledge to create an environment where they address concepts in meaningful ways for children.
We respect each child’s ability and pace of understanding. Therefore, all programs will work to meet each child’s individual developmental path, building on their interests and strengths to create a meaningful curriculum that fosters learning and growth. We are intentional with the opportunities offered to children and provide a curriculum and environment that help our students be socially and academically ready for kindergarten.
What qualifications do your teachers hold?
The teachers and assistants on our staff meet the requirements set by the State of Maryland. These requirements include education and health requirements for people working with small children. We also strive to provide our staff with continued education in the area of Early Childhood Education. Each staff member also undergoes an extensive background check, CPR and first aid certification.
