Curriculum/ Program

Children's Castle Pre School and Daycare provides nurturing
early care and education in a responsive, caring environment for
children. Our curriculum helps children master age-appropriate
tasks at each stage of individual development. Social, emotional,
physical, and cognitive activities are integrated into all aspects of
the curriculum. Children's development is encouraged through
play and exploration of process-oriented rather than
product-oriented activities.
Play and spontaneous exploration are fundamental to childhood
and essential for learning. An Daycare publication states,
"through play children explore their world, find out how they get
along with others, test their skills and muscles, try out new ideas,
and feel confident enough to try different activities". At our center,
children are given the opportunity for many different kinds of play.
Much of what happens in the daily life at the center provides the
context for learning experiences: hellos and good-byes, eating,
resting, keeping clean and comfortable, enjoying nature, being
with friends, coping with emotional experiences, taking turns, and
respecting others. Ultimately, the goal for each child is to develop
self-esteem in preparation for a happy productive life among
peers, colleagues, and loved ones.
