OUR CURRICULUM

Six Pillars of Preschool Learning

Our physician-informed curriculum addresses the whole child — cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.

📚

Early Literacy

Phonemic awareness, letter recognition, storytime, and writing readiness through daily reading and language-rich interactions.

🔢

Math Foundations

Counting, sorting, patterns, and shapes through hands-on manipulatives, games, and real-world problem-solving activities.

🎨

Creative Arts

Painting, drawing, music, and dramatic play to cultivate self-expression, fine motor skills, and creative thinking.

🔬

Science & Discovery

Simple experiments, nature exploration, and observation journals to build a love of asking "why" and figuring out "how."

🤝

Social-Emotional Learning

Identifying feelings, conflict resolution, empathy, and friendship skills — the building blocks of emotional intelligence.

🌳

Outdoor Learning

Daily outdoor time for gross motor development, nature immersion, and unstructured play proven to support cognitive growth.
