Curriculum

Our main guide is Creative Curriculum, which is supplemented by a Bible based curriculum that adheres to developmentally appropriate practices for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. The Creative Curriculum’s foundation is based on the findings of six main theorists. Through their views on children, the curriculum is constructed as a guideline for how we, a Christian center, can be united to provide quality child care.

We use Healthy Beginnings for children birth to three years old. Healthy Beginnings includes developmentally  appropriate, goals and objectives for children within four domains:
