At the Academy of Early Childhood Learning, our expert educators take every chance to support students on their learning journey from the day they join the Academy family!
Our Creative Curriculum empowers students to take initiative in their daily lives, focuses on social emotional learning, helps to build skills inside and outside of the classroom, and instills a lifelong love of learning.
Creative Curriculum
This exceptional curriculum harnesses the power of play and provides intentional support for each child to ensure they nurture their individual skill progression.
Children are empowered to build their confidence, creativity, and critical thinking through hands-on, project-based investigations. This program nurtures the whole child, aligns to proven early learning standards while building key academic, social, and emotional skills for a lifetime to learning and success.
Infant & Toddler Program
Our infant and toddler program is designed to meet the unique developmental needs of each child in our care. Our teachers strive to meet target goals in each of our five key focus areas:
Fine motor skills
Gross motor skills
Social and emotional development
Cognitive and linguistic development
Sensory and artistic exploration
We also implement sign language in day-to-day interactions in order to foster greater communication skills and some of our favorite activities, such as:
Painting
Singing songs
Reading books
Playing puppets together
...and so much more!
Bolstered by our intentional and positive classroom environment, you will see the consideration and care we continuously take to provide a nurturing space for infants and toddlers:
Dramatic play equipment
Cooks, puppets, and games
Crawling areas
Padded climbers
Mirrors
Amongst our well-resourced classrooms, we encourage each child to track objects, imitate sounds, uncover hidden toys, reach out to grasp objects, balance, and stand.
