Program Description
Within the confines of a developmentally appropriate
setting, we provide our children with a balanced approach
to learning. We ensure that they have daily opportunities
to engage in free choice play activities as well as
daily opportunities for teacher-directed, more structured
learning experiences. In order to ensure that our academic
curriculum provides children with the skills and concepts
necessary for success in kindergarten and first grade,
we’ve adopted the HighReach Learning curriculum.
HighReach, a research-based curriculum, is on the list
of curriculums approved by the Orange County School
Readiness Coalition; research studies have proven that
this curriculum has the elements necessary to prepare
children for success in kindergarten.
