EDUCATIONAL PLAN
We understand that children are unique and each requires an individualized education. We use a combination of various research-based curricula, such as Montessori, The Creative Curriculum, and Social Savvy. Our special blend of the top curricula promotes creativity and independent thinking.
We believe in flexible learning with a focus on children's interests and led by their choices. Learning occurs in a play-based environment with many opportunities for exploration. This is an optimal setting to accommodate different developmental and ability levels. Children also have repeated opportunities within different contexts to practice skills being learned and make learning connections. We aim to foster curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
We use Practical Life exercises to prepare children for their future by using real-world concepts and materials. Though the use of Practical Life exercises and real-life materials children develop self-esteem, inner discipline, confidence and control of movement. Beyond the academics, lessons in moral development serve to establish a social conscience and an understanding of the functioning of a healthy community.
Our program meets the State of Alaska Early Learning Guidelines and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five.
