Program
Thematic Approach to Curriculum
The teachers prepare an engaging learning environment for exploring a theme, such as outer space, birds, or transportation. They use a group meeting time each day to set the stage for the investigation and introduce relevant concepts. Then the children pursue a variety of activities that reinforce the learning goals. The staff continuously monitors the activities, so that we may facilitate the childrens' learning and challenge them at an appropriate level.
