Curriculum
Kid’s Kingdom operates below state-recommended student-teacher ratios. We look at more than just numbers and take into account the individual needs of the children in each class. If we know one child needs a little more help we’ll add an extra teacher to that room. Our focus is always on providing an environment in which our kids can thrive.
We believe that children need to be exposed to a variety of literacy based activities such as reading, singing, dancing, finger plays, poems, and conversations with peers and adults. Supporting emerging social skills are a big part of our day, developing trust, forming healthy attachments and enhancing social interactions.
P L A Y is where children thrive and we work hard to make learning fun!
Infants
Infants at Kid’s Kingdom have the opportunity to develop in a loving environment. Child to adult ratios are kept low enough to allow for each individual need to be met. We use the Frog Street curriculum which is a comprehensive program that optimizes key windows of opportunity to build strong foundations for little ones 0-18 months old. This super fun curriculum offer activities emphasizing all developmental domains. Our infant program focuses on the needs of each unique family and our teachers partner closely with parents in insure all expectations are met.
Toddlers
Our toddler classrooms are always busy and full of excitement. We create fun and rewarding activities that reflect each child’s developmental needs. At the toddler stage of development we encourage life skills such as hand washing, self feeding, and developing vocabulary. Our awesome teacher encourage exploration of their environment and support their developing independence. Lots of hands on art, music and movement, and outdoor play are a big part of their daily learning experiences.
Twos
Our terrific two year olds have opportunities to learn and explore in a fun environment with a developmentally appropriate curriculum that continues to encourage independent life skills such as hands washing and toilet training. We love the two year old spirit of doing things their way! Sharing, kindness, manners, and developing vocabulary to communicate is heavily emphasized in this age group. At this state of development new and exciting abilities begin! They are ready to romp, stomp, and run, and we love helping them learn these large motor skills. Sensory and fine motor skills are emerging too and we provide activities that encourage your child’s creativity and expose them to new experiences daily.
Threes
Kid’s Kingdom recognizes that the cognitive, physical and social skills of most three-year-olds is significantly different. As such we offer a well-rounded scope of activities that address all developmental domains. Our curriculum offers intentional instruction that optimizes key windows of opportunity for growth and development. These components are the foundation for path to kindergarten readiness.
