Our philosophy recognizes that all children are individuals with a unique timing for growth and development, and interests. Our developmentally based curriculum is designed to build on each child's strengths. Our center creates an environment in which each child can grow cognitively, physically, emotionally, artistically and socially at their own rate. We are passionate about working with young children, are responsive to their needs, and encourage them as they become increasingly more self sufficient and independent.

At A Child's Reflection, we use the Pinnacle Curriculum, which is written by a team of early childhood experts and is designed to engage children in developmentally appropriate activities. It is based on the works of Piaget, Gardner, and Erikson and includes developmentally appropriate activities. Pinnacle has clearly stated learning objectives to help facilitate learning in all domains, but is flexible to accommodate varied learning styles and allow our teachers to add their own projects from past experiences. We also use the Handwriting Without Tears Curriculum in our Pre-School and Pre-Kindergarten classrooms.

Through play, we also seek to promote the cognitive, emotional, social and physical growth of each child within a nurturing atmosphere. We will also encourage your child to develop an appreciation for the arts by offering many types of enrichment programs. Another cornerstone of our curriculum is a commitment to help children develop self esteem while encouraging independence and emphasizing concern and respect for one another.

A Child’s Reflection believes that the arts can help young children gain fundamental academic and social skills, making them more confident and overall better life-long learners.  We have many types of these programs built into our weekly lesson plans.
