Foundation

The foundation of our child-centered, play-based curriculum is guided by the implementation of THE CREATIVE CURRICULUM FOR PRESCHOOL ®, along with an engaging creative arts program, a multifaceted social and emotional curriculum where diversity is embraced and every child feels valued and cherished.

Arts and Learning

One particularly noteworthy highlight of the Pre-K class at CCP is the Art Show. Each year the students learn about various influential artists and then emulate each artist’s technique to create their own work of art to be showcased at the end of the year when their classroom is transformed into an art gallery.

Our staff’s implementation of the curriculum embraces the emotional world of children through kind, nurturing interactions enhanced by the Nurtured Heart Approach ™ and Conscious Discipline ® methodologies helping each child develop a positive sense of self as an active learner. These positive emotional memories of early learning – last a lifetime.

Play Based

In the Pre-K program, pre-academic skills are taught through play-based experiences that provide essential building blocks needed to make learning fun and engaging. The cultivation of imagination and the love of learning are evident in this unique learning environment. Play is viewed as the language of all young children, and creative play opportunities are seen as key not only to the development of critical thinking skills, language skills, and self-regulation skills, but also to the development of the whole child. Conflict is viewed as an opportunity for teaching negotiation skills, friendship skills, and other social and emotional skills. Play and other activities are based on individual interests and learning goals. Learning themes that have been woven throughout the curriculum come to life through field trips to fire stations, museums, theater productions, and storytelling events.
