At A to Z Fun Care Early Learning Childcare Center, we take pride in our *Integrated Curriculum*, which uniquely weaves 35 research-based skills into engaging games and discovery projects. Our approach is designed to support a child’s ongoing development across multiple domains, including social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive growth.
Holistic Development Through Play
Our cross-disciplinary model recognizes that children construct knowledge as they play and explore. Every activity and project is thoughtfully designed to integrate 2-3 skills from various learning domains, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. These domains include:
- Social-Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Language and Literacy Development
- Mathematics and Reasoning
- Social Studies
- Science
- Creative Arts
The Developmental Continuum of Skills
The *Developmental Continuum of Skills* serves as a roadmap for understanding learning benchmarks for children from birth through age eight. This research-based chart helps parents and educators track developmental progress within the framework of the 35 skills incorporated into our curriculum. The skill numbering system is consistently applied throughout the entire Curriculum, making it easy to follow your child’s educational journey.
A Collaborative Learning Experience
Our curriculum is grounded in child development theories and brain research, creating a dynamic model that emphasizes teacher support, enriching child experiences, and active family engagement. We believe that every child is full of potential, naturally curious, and an integral part of our community.
In our learning environment, teachers act as researchers and guides, learning alongside the children. They provide valuable resources and support as children explore their surroundings, experiment with ideas, manipulate materials, and construct knowledge.
The Role of Families in Learning
Families are central to the intellectual and social growth of each child. We recognize that family culture and beliefs enrich our school community, and we actively encourage family involvement in the learning process.
Learning is a Journey
At A to Z Fun Care, we understand that learning is a process. The Developmental Continuum is not just a chart; it is a comprehensive guide to child growth.
Our *Authentic Assessment* approach captures learning as it unfolds, empowering parents to document their child’s progress through natural and intentional observations. Our Assessment System provides resources to support this documentation, helping you celebrate every step of your child’s learning journey.
Join us at A to Z Fun Care, where we nurture curiosity, support development, and celebrate the unique learning experiences of every child!
