“Learning occurs in and out of the classroom. We designed our curriculum to educate and nurture children, creating individual opportunities to excel.”

Pillar 1

Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum

Our standards-based curriculum is created by seasoned educators to suit each stage of child development. It consists of a comprehensive collection of activities designed to meet the needs of every child in our care.

Why is this important?

• Children develop at different rates, and it’s important to address their individual needs and strengths.
• Our curriculum allows teachers to modify the methods they use to plan lessons, so a wide array of children can experience the joy of learning.
• We make our curriculum flexible enough to integrate new preschool standards as they evolve.
• Maintaining a focus of learning through play allows children to develop socially, cognitively, emotionally and physically.

Our fields of learning:

• Physical Development and Health
• Social and Emotional Development
• Language and Literacy
• Mathematics
• Science and Technology
• Social Studies
• Creative Arts

Pillar 2

Technology Education

As the world becomes increasingly reliant on technology, computer literacy has become as essential as reading and writing. We use the latest technology to make learning engaging and fun, reinforcing lessons learned throughout the day.

Why is this important?

• The early introduction of technology tools makes it easier for children to use and talk about technology before they enter elementary school.
• Our curriculum incorporates technology skills into everyday learning, making it an integral part of their day, not a compartmentalized segment of time.
• When combined with educational basics, technology education creates more opportunities for deeper, more well-rounded learning.

Pillar 3

Health & Fitness

We teach children to make healthy food, fitness and hygiene choices. Nutritious meals, large motor skill activities that promote cardiovascular health and outdoor playground time are part of each day at Kiddie Academy. Resources like our Parenting Essentials newsletter share and reinforce healthy lessons learned in the classroom with the family.

Why is this important?

• Physical health and brain development are linked to heightened memory and more focused learning.
• Children benefit when they're given the tools and guidance to make smart health and food choices from an early age.
• Introducing healthy living habits early helps to combat childhood obesity.

Pillar 4

Character Essentials^℠

It’s crucial for children to learn the values that will help them develop into well-rounded citizens. Character Essentials uses character education to derive learning from each interaction. From the playground to the classroom, we take every opportunity to teach your child important character-building cornerstones, including respect, sharing, manners, friendship and compassion.

Why is this important?

• Character education helps children interact successfully with their classmates and teachers—leading to more effective learning and building a model for behavior in the community and into adulthood.
• Children need guidance in recognizing and acting out their emotions.
• Being responsible for our actions is a critical part of character education, so we make sure children take ownership of the decisions they make in the classroom.
