Our Comprehensive Curriculum: More Than Just Fun and Games
At Stepping Stones, we believe in a play-based curriculum that seamlessly integrates learning with fun. Our meticulously designed programs cater to children of various ages, focusing on age-appropriate activities that encourage cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. We utilize a variety of teaching methods, including:
- Montessori-inspired learning: This approach emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play, fostering independence and a love of learning.
- Project-based learning: Children engage in in-depth explorations of topics that spark their curiosity, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Creative arts and expression: Through music, art, and dramatic play, children express themselves creatively, building confidence and self-esteem.
- Outdoor exploration: We understand the importance of outdoor play, providing ample opportunities for children to explore nature, develop gross motor skills, and engage in imaginative play.
Age-Specific Programs: Tailored Learning for Every Child
Our programs are designed to meet the unique developmental needs of children at each stage:
- Infant Program: Focuses on building secure attachments, sensory exploration, and basic self-care skills.
- Toddler Program: Emphasizes language development, social interaction, and fine motor skill development.
- Preschool Program: Introduces pre-academic skills, creative expression, and social-emotional learning.
- Pre-K Program: Provides a strong foundation for kindergarten readiness, focusing on literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills.
