Our unique and innovative curriculum will address your child’s growth in the following areas: Social and Emotional Development: We strive to address emotional competence and ability to form positive relationships that give meaning to children’s experiences in the home, school, and larger community. Language and Communication Development: We focus on children’s understanding and use of language, emerging reading and writing skills, and ability to communicate effectively. Cognitive Development: We highlight children’s ability to understand and think about the physical and social worlds. In particular, we focus on children’s knowledge of objects in the world around them; their mathematical knowledge; numbers and colors, and appreciation of art in their lives. Physical Development and Wellbeing: The ability to engage in daily activities by focusing on children’s physical health. We accomplish our goals by taking into consideration the child’s unique disposition for becoming involved in learning and acquiring knowledge. Our curriculum is written specifically to meet and/or exceed the State of Massachusetts “Early Learning Guidelines for Toddlers and Preschoolers”. A weekly curriculum will be planned based on the educational goals and objectives. Projects, manipulatives, and activities will tie back to the “Guidelines”. Weekly reports will be provided to each family highlighting the activities of the week and how those activities tied back to the stated goals and objectives.

Center based - We understand that when your child is at such a young age it is difficult to choose between preschool and intensive ABA; with our ABA Early Learners Program you do not have to choose! ABA Early Learners program uses our spacious center to facilitate group based programming, socializing with peers, following a schedule while working 1:1 with a behavior technician, implementing ABA strategies. Intensive ABA therapy is 20 or more hours of 1:1 learning a week to educate in a broad spectrum of critical skills while decreasing challenging behaviors that may impede their learning. In Home - ABC's home based interventions target a plethora of skills all within the comfort of your own home. We begin with an individualized treatment plan that is designed with parental input and written by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This treatment plan includes goals in the areas of personal living skills, home living skills, community living skills and employment skills. Our Behavior Technician (BT), will work with your child to provide an intensive treatment plan under the supervision of our BCBA. This treatment plan is comprised of specific goals targeting the increase of self-help, independent living, social, play, and communication skills while decreasing maladaptive behaviors. Each treatment plan is designed with your child and your family in mind to create an ease of service that fits into your day-to-day life.

At the Children's Center at Groton, we view children as competent learners who come to us with ideas and theories. It is our role as educators to facilitate learning along with them through provocations, listening, documenting and asking open-ended questions. We believe that our environments are the third educator in the classroom and as a result design spaces that are respectful, aesthetically pleasing and filled with natural elements. We love, care for, and educate children ages 6 weeks through 6 years of age. We take pride in the high teacher to student ratios at our school, choosing to exceed the required number of teachers in all classrooms. We believe this additional teacher allows us to provide the kind of curriculum and one on one attention that young children need to learn and grow successfully. Children progress through our school &quot;cohort&quot; style- further supporting essential bonds with their peers. Our four beautiful classrooms, each with their own age appropriate playground/exterior patio space accommodate each age group's individual needs.

ITC is a learning community where children from infants to school-age come together with experienced and responsive teachers to learn about themselves, each other, and the world. Focused on play-based learning, we know that children thrive when we respond to their pursuits and ideas, meet their everyday needs, challenge them both educationally and creatively and celebrate the unique contributions of each child to the group. We draw inspiration from the educators of the Reggio Emilia schools in Italy as well as theorists and practitioners such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Howard Gardner, and Magda Gerber. Our emergent curriculum supports children as they build a foundation for academic skills through real-life situations.
