Our Play-Based Learning Curriculum

Our play-based curriculum meets all of the Connecticut state educational guidelines by offering opportunities to enhance social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth in each young child. Our program fosters curiosity, creativity, and self-esteem by taking into account children’s abilities and interests. Child-initiated and teacher-supported play is an essential component of our daily program. Each classroom creates weekly lesson plans designed to foster each child’s development and the development of the group as a whole. Children will have the opportunity to express their own ideas and feelings through creative experiences in all parts of the program, including:

Benefits of Play-Based Learning

There are many developmental benefits to a play-based learning curriculum. Children are naturally motivated to play and to develop through play, and this makes learning feel like less like a chore and much more fun. Through play, children develop communication skills, motor skills, social and emotional development, creativity and imagination, as well as critical thinking and problem solving. By catering to each child’s abilities and interests, they are equipped for success.
