| EXCELLENT EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS ARE GUIDED BY THE LATEST RESEARCH: RESEARCH FACT: "Young Children Learn & Retain More Through Multi-Sensory & Personally Meaningful Play Experiences." That's exactly why we developed a Play-Based Curriculum that simultaneously caters to each child's Individual Learning Style: Visual, Auditory and/or Kinesthetic. Our unique curriculum, alluring classrooms & custom-made toys all promote Active Play & capitalize on each child's Natural Curiosity, Boundless Energy. Therefore, as our students actively explore & "Play", our teachers identify individual & group interests to create learning opportunities that are fun & personally meaningful to everyone. We take great pride in the fact that we have provided thousands of young children with a quality educational foundation, AND a genuine INTEREST & LOVE FOR LEARNING! RESEARCH FACT: "The Most Predictive Early Literacy Skill Linked To Later Reading Success is 'PHONEMIC AWARENESS"(The ability to hear similarities & differences in beginning, middle, and/or endings of words). That's exactly why we incorporate Phonics & Rhyming Music into all of our activities, as these both help young children to develop this critical foundational skill. RESEARCH FACT: "The Most Predictive Early Childhood Skill Linked To Overall Future Adult Success is: SOCIAL SKILLS." That's why we have incorporated "Multi-Age Programming" into our curriculum. When children of varying ages & skills are grouped together, everyone benefits: Younger/less academically-advanced children readily tap into their older peers' knowledge & experiences; Older/more academically-advanced children benefit with consistent review of skills, increased self esteem, and a motivation to learn even more. Therefore, our teachers have been specially trained to facilitate social interactions between students to create learning opportunities that simultaneously benefit children of all ages & skill levels. |
