Curriculum
Cognitive, emotional, and social well-being are important factors in a child’s learning process. This is why I strive to use developmentally appropriate practices in my curriculum.
Areas of Play:
- Library
- Promotes language development and listening skills. This is a quiet area for children to read books.

- Science
- Helps children with exploration and discovery. It includes sand and water play, rock collection, magnets, weights, volume, measurements, and magnifying glasses. A fish tank is also on display to intrigue young scientists.
- Art
- The children will have the opportunity to participate in daily art projects. The children will be allowed freedom of expressions in art form scheduled. I focus on the process, not the product.
- Math and Manipulatives
- This area helps children with sorting, counting, and classifying as well as puzzles and play dough. Manipulative toys help develop small muscle coordination.
- Dramatic Play
- This area encourages dramatic play through the use of dress-up clothes and accessories, playhouse appliances, and dolls, that stimulate realistic life experiences.
- Blocks
- This area provides a place where children can build with a large assortment of blocks that will encourage physical and cognitive development.
