What’s Our Daycare Curriculum All About?
First off, our goal is to help your child develop into a happy, successful adult. To that end, we teach self-responsibility and compassion, and our program consistently witnesses excellent results as our students go on to attend some of the best area elementary schools and programs.
We teach many valuable skills at PALS from a young age so kids can be successful at whatever they do in the future. After studying the top programs in the world for childhood development, we have incorporated some of their best practices into our program, including:
- HighScope preschool program
- Don Holdaway’s foundations of literacy
- Brian Cambourne’s conditions of learning
- Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory
- Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline
So what does a typical day look like? Well, PALS relies on a curriculum that helps children develop spatial awareness, logic and reason, and gross motor skills.
- Our curriculum introduces foundational cognitive reasoning that teaches and enhances language arts, arithmetic, social skills, and understanding of the surrounding world.
- Our daily schedule includes child-directed activity centers, stories and songs, group games, art projects, and creative playtime.
- It also consists of rest periods, nutritious meals, and continuous adult supervision.
