Children are joyful creatures. Our curriculum and resources are designated to tap into a child's nature and create a joyful experience from the first moments of the day until it is time to say goodbye. Our programs are filled with songs, music, hands-on materials and activities, chants, games, and make-believe designed to stimulate a child's imagination, helping make each day a wonderful one! All of the curriculum and programs are aimed at one thing: igniting the minds of young children by fostering their academic, social and emotional growth through purposeful lessons and materials that intentionally produce a positive outcome. Our comprehensive, research-based programs integrate instruction across developmental domains and early learning disciplines. They are aligned with the Head Start School Readiness Goals to ensure that your child's learning opportunities are optimized.
