Four Year Old Program"Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them." ~Lady Bird Johnson~Classroom Phone Number:480.224.2919Ms. Wendy
6:30 pm - 2:30 pmTien Le12:00 pm - 5:30 pmThe focus of any curriculum should be squarely on the child/ren. But what does that look like? What does that mean? What does that entail? Who does that include?When activities or experiences are presented to young children, we never know what they are going to do with the experience! Our curriculum allows the staff to consider alternative ways of seeing, thinking, doing, or experiencing, allowing them to recogize new learning when it emerges from the children's dialogue and play.The Creative Curriculum, advocates thinking about and planning for, everything that can, by the nature of the setting, contribute to a child's development and a teacher's relationship with the child and the parent. It is a curriculum that embraces the open-ended processes of teaching and learning with young children.
For children to grow intellectually, they must feel confident in their abilities and secure in their relationships with teachers, family members and peers, The Innovations Curruculum addresses social-emotional development in a number of ways. Each day provides time and materials to experience Fine Arts, Music & Movement, Science, Social Studies, Health or Safety, Physical Development, and Personal/Social Development. These content areas are built in the days schedule through Circle Time, Group Activities, Learning Centers and any other way that the children show growth and interest for their teachers to expand on.There is so much to pay attention to as your four-year-old grows and progresses towards Kindergarten. During this year the children are gaining knowledge at a varying paces and in ways we've never imagined. Their little minds are becoming so much more complex and able to do so many different things from developing greater self-control and ingenuity to comparing data and discussing observations. From the curriculum to the caregivers, your child is provided a classroom that allows them to learn, grow and develop while having fun, being engaged, and just being a kid!.
