Creative curriculum also works in collaboration with developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood programs: As published by the National Association for the Education of Young Children ("NAEYC"). We believe children learn from everyone around them and they grow and learn differently. Children construct their own knowledge as a result of their interaction with their world. We provide opportunities for them to explore and grow. The classroom environment enables children to be engaged in positive interactions with their peers and teachers. The environment typically includes the following learning centers, as space and interest of the children allows: block, house corner, table toys, art, sand and water, library, music and movement, and outdoors. With the environment in place, the teacher will then develop lesson plans with a focus on the arts, language, literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, social-emotional and cognitive learning. Creative curriculum that was specifically developed for early childhood education, beginning at the infant stage. It also has established guidelines on including children with special needs. Our program is individually guided with a specific learning plan defined for each child. Formal assessment of each child's development is assessed semi-annually. Collaboration with parents is crucial to the assessment and goal setting process to ensure that goals are appropriate and consistent between the school and home environments. Our professional staff have degrees in early childhood or education and work with each child to reach his or her educational potential. We maintain a low child-to-teacher ratio so that each child can receive individual attention. 10983 0 17279 Pediatric therapy services: Our Pediatric Therapy services provide year-round physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and developmental therapy.

Children who receive service through our pediatric therapy program receive therapy one to five times per week through our multidiciplinary approach to treatment.
