The Kids Place utilizes the Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized curriculum, which you will see evident in all of our learning centers. We at TKP believe that play is childrens work, so we emphasize learning through play. Our classrooms are designed to be age and developmentally appropriate with clearly defined learning centers featuring blocks, manipulatives, art, math, science, and dramatic play. Activity choices are set for children to choose, fostering a sense of independence by finding, using and putting away toys themselves.
We use Teaching Strategies Gold, a brand-new, on-going observational assessment tool that helps our Educators teach with intention by focusing on the individual childs development and learning.
