​Curriculum 

At Grow and Learn we know that preschool is a major milestone in your child’s life.  You are the true expert on your child, and we want you to feel like a part of your child’s academic success, as well as our Preschool community. As your child participates in primary language arts, math, science, music, and art, we hope you develop a partnership with our school and the classroom teacher to ensure an engaging and fun classroom experience.  Preschool is widely considered to be among the most vital in a child’s social, emotional and academic development. The big picture is that the social and academic skills kids pick up in these critical early years are  lifelong benefits.
 
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS:

In our Toddler class learning is done through structured play and one-on-one time with the teachers. The teachers receive the same curriculum guide as the preschool and pre-k programs. This guide includes language arts, science, math, art, music and movement, outdoor experiences, social-emotional development, and more, then the teachers implement this guide information in their lesson plans.
