Language
Circle time, stories, and conversation in English and Spanish.
Curriculum
Learning that feels like play.
Weekly lesson plans follow Maryland Healthy Beginnings (birth to 36 months) and the Maryland Early Learning Standards (ages 3 to 5).
Learning areas
Social-emotional
Naming feelings, calm tools, and solving conflicts with words — not punishment.
Physical
Outdoor play twice a day: running, climbing, balls, ride-on toys, teacher-led games.
Creative arts
Art, music, cooking, dramatic play, and sensory work in small groups.
Literacy & blocks
Books, puzzles, block play, and fine-motor trays that show up in the centers.
Observation
A CDC milestone checklist in the first 60 days, then every three months. Conferences in fall and spring.
How we watch growth
First 60 days
An initial developmental checklist based on CDC milestones.
Every three months
Ongoing notes, work samples, and anecdotal records in each child’s folder.
Fall conference
We sit with you to share progress, celebrate, and set goals together.
Spring conference
A second sit-down. You pick a time by text; we accommodate drop-off if we can.
