The first few years of life are an extraordinary time that sets the stage for the all the years that follow. Our program for learning, The World at Their Fingertips, creates developmentally appropriate educational environments that empower children to be confident, successful, lifelong learners.
The World is built around eight key concepts:
High expectations for every child Prime Times: Caring and Learning Planned child choice learning environments Emergent curriculum Developmentally appropriate Instruction Making learning visible through documentation and display Full parent partnerships 21st-century technologyThe World curriculum is based on established research and theory in child development and education. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on the development of language, math, science, and social skills and incorporates the key elements that contribute to a childs readiness for school and academic success. Through a variety of learning elements, children make self-directed and guided choices and experience the joys of childhood.
Language Works integrates activities for listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It creates a language-rich environment in which the lifelong love of language, books, and reading is cultivated.

Science Rocks stimulates a childs sense of wonder, and makes science come alive by encouraging children to question, experiment, observe, record, describe, and form conclusions. Our World acknowledges and values the rich cultural heritage of families and provides a wide range of experiences for children to learn respect for our world, its diverse people, and the environment.
