Our curriculum is based on what we know about how children grow and learn. To meet
the individual needs of young children the curriculum at Little Learners does the following:

• Focuses on the total development of the child - social, emotional, physical, intellectual and language. Activities are geared for different ages and developmental levels.
• Provides guidance for children as he/she learns to relate to others, to develop warm, human relationships, and function as an effective member of a group.
• Consists of age appropriate experiences within the child's range of interests and abilities so that there are many opportunities for success that contribute to his or her sense of self-worth.
• Variety of topics and classroom activities that change daily and/or weekly.

 
A Typical Day
Because of our age ranges of 2 years through 5 years, the time of activities vary in each
classroom. The older children will stay with one activity for a longer time period. The
younger children may participate in these same activities several times during the day but for a
shorter length of time. At different times during the day, children participate in the following activities:

Freeplay:
Small manipulatives, blocks, art experiences, cooking, dramatic play,
carpentry, books, floor toys, and sensory play with water, sand, rice and other materials

Circle Time:
Calendar, Theme of the Day activities, stories, songs, fingerplays,
readiness activities, movement CDs and tapes, music activities, Show & Tell, creative
dramatics

Nutritious Snacks:

about 4 times a year.

Large Muscle Room:
Group games, riding toys, crawling, climbing, jumping,
ball skills, balancing, large block building
