Our students two years old and under use Frogstreet Curriculum.
The infant program is designed around early brain research for students 0-18 months old. It is a bilingual program that supports our teachers to nurture infants’ development in five domains: language, cognitive, social and emotional, physical, and approaches toward learning. Frogstreet curriculum is aligned with Head Start School Readiness Goals and offers complete support for teachers to optimize the growth and development of the infants in their care.
The toddler program (Frogstreet) is also designed around the latest scientific early brain development. It is a year-round program focusing on and enhancing the simple joy of childhood while supporting our teachers to nurture curiosity through exploration. This program also focuses on five developmental domains immersed in language-rich environments essential for developing both receptive and expressive language skills. It uses many high-interest books, stories, songs, poems, and chants that delight and expand toddlers' emerging language skills. The curriculum builds confidence in our little ones with special emphasis on social emotional development, learning impulse control, and developing social skills.
Preschool students use the Connect4Learning curriculum. It is an interdisciplinary curriculum with six units and a year round learning center and lesson plan. Unit one focuses on Connection with School and Friends, Unit two is all about our environment, Unit three teaches concepts about structures and how they’re built, Unit four explores museums, Unit five teaches all facets of gardening, and Unit six recaps all the ways our students have grown during the year. We conduct BOY Beginning of Year, MOY Middle of Year, and EOY, End of Year assessments both to track student progress but to also show teachers gaps in student knowledge and learning. There are so many learning objectives that just foster a lifelong love of learning in children eager to expand their skills and knowledge.
