By blending play, problem-solving, and creativity, we create an engaging environment where each child is encouraged to discover, explore, and thrive at their own pace. With Creative Curriculum, we lay the foundation for lifelong learning through meaningful, real-world connections that spark imagination and a passion for knowledge.

Reading fluency is connected to two overarching abilities. Understanding what is read, or comprehension, and decoding. Decoding, or ‘cracking the code’ of our alphabet is contingent on children’s ability to assign the sound (phoneme) that a letter or group of letters represent to its’ meaning. Fluent readers must do many complicated skills simultaneously. Children must have concrete experiences to develop concepts and be able to hear, isolate and manipulate the 44 sounds of English.
Our approach to early literacy focuses on vocabulary and concept development – kids experiences are the foundation of their ability to assign meaning to abstract concepts. This is tied to reading comprehension development and we work on it through group discussions and daily reading aloud.
Isolating and manipulating the sounds (phonemes) in every day words is a fun filled activity. Through songs, word plays, games and motor activities we work every day on skills that contribute to your child’s developing decoding abilities that they will draw from when formal reading instruction is introduced in school. English has 44 phonemes and only 26 letters. Letter ID is not our primary focus with toddlers and preschoolers; isolating and manipulating the sounds of language is.
