About Our Creative Curriculum Framework
The Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies has believed for nearly 30 years that effective teaching is the most powerful way to improve child outcomes. This research-based curriculum helps our teachers be their most effective while honoring their creativity and respecting their role in making learning exciting and relevant for every child.
Infant Development Program
As infants grow, so do their minds and bodies. Our teachers provide a loving, caring, nurturing and educational atmosphere during this critical development period.
Toddler Learning Curriculum
This developmental stage represents one of the most important times in a child’s life for learning and obtaining new information. In our toddler rooms, we focus on the whole development of the child through various learning experiences each day.
School Age Curriculum
When children arrive from school, the learning continues. The Learning Academy provides educational activities, homework assistance, and reading readiness time.
Preschool & Pre-K Programs
Children become more independent and begin focusing on others (adults and children) outside their family. They develop a love for exploration and asking questions about the world around them.
