Our curriculum is grounded NAEYC best practices ensuring a whole child approach that nurtures academic, social, and emotional growth through play, exploration, and intentional teaching.

To provide a strong academic foundation, we align our program with the East Brunswick School District curriculum, ensuring that our student develop the skills and knowledge needed for a smooth transition to kindergarten. Our educators thoughtfully integrate early literacy, math, and social development benchmarks, fostering confidence and readiness for next step in their educational journey.
​
In addition, we incorporate STEM education, immersing children in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands on experiments, interactive problem solving, and real-world exploration. These experiences cultivate critical thinking, curiosity, and innovation-skills essential for 21st century learners.
​
We also embrace Emelia Reggio inspired approach to art, recognizing creativity as a powerful tool for learning. Through open ended artistic expression, children engage with a variety of materials and techniques, encouraging self-expression, collaboration, and deeper connections to their environment.
​
By blending NAEYC best practices, the East Brunswick curriculum, STEM education, and Reggio Emilia- inspire art, our program provides a well-rounded, enriching early learning experience that fosters independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of discovery.
