The emergence of language and literacy in children is a dynamic process. When children are immersed in an environment where oral and written communications are valued, they have the motivation, the modeling and the sense of purpose to master language. Wide exposure to print and to developing concepts about its forms and functions is critical at this age. Through our literature-based curriculum our teachers provide well-integrated, developmentally appropriate instruction for children to develop skills in print awareness, alphabet knowledge, phonologic recognition and foreign language.

Children need the devotion and appreciation of adults and peers in their lives. They also need to feel confident in their own abilities. Creative Tots is a warm, caring, and supportive atmosphere where we welcome each child’s individuality, nurture their self-confidence, promote good work habits and develop appropriate social skills. Learning is an inherently joyful process and that is what Creative Tots fosters.

Rather than treating our bodies as simply transport for our brains, we feel that intelligence is visual, auditory as well as kinesthetic. Preschool children often need to move in order to think. As a result, we incorporate music and movement into our everyday curriculum. Whether it is dramatic play, exploring our outdoor play area, yoga for kids or interacting with visiting performance art professionals, we certainly keep your child moving.
