The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood

The TLC Curriculum Early Childhood was built on the premise that children are endowed with a natural sense of curiosity. The high - quality education that we provide nurtures children's curiosity, and assists as they explore the world around them.

Thematic Units 2011-2012

Our curriculum is age appropriate and literacy rich. We encourage the cognitive, social / emotional, physical and language development of each child. Children are encouraged to investigate, create and discover in order to add to their current knowledge.

Our daily schedules encompasses active indoor and outdoor play in what we refer to as learning centers. The indoor centers will include but not limited to:

Blocks
Dramatic Play
Toys and Games
Art
Library
Science/Discovery
Music and movement
Language Arts
Cooking
Computers

The shaded outdoor areas are equipped with child safe structures that provide gross motor development. This area is utilized in ways that include teacher-child interaction and opportunities for children to explore freely. Our four playgrounds are developmentally age appropriate to facilitate individual growth and development.

The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood
The Learning Center Preschools' curriculum is strongly supported by the nationally recognized Creative Curriculum. This curriculum is developmentally appropriate and encourages the cognitive, social / emotional, physical and language development of a child.

In Addition, The Creative Curriculum is research based in order to set and achieve standards and goals for each age. This goal is accomplished by knowing how children develop and learn. From this perspective, we acknowledge similarities and differences, while appreciating general standards and patterns of growth in all children.

The Creative Curriculum and The Learning Center Preschool takes into account the importance of the home school connection in educating the young child.
