The Creative Curriculum Focuses on School Readiness

Rooted in early learning research, The Creative Curriculum brings academics to life through play. Paired with vibrant classroom celebrations, extensive outdoor play, and unique enrichment activities, our trusted program ensures your child is ready for school and beyond.

Stories From The Start Because Readers Are Leaders

From our infants class upwards, we welcome your child into a literature-rich environment, where they explore stories, letters, sight words, phonics, and more. This strong focus on literacy sets your child up for success as they prepare for school.

STEM Activities Encourage Critical Thinking

Science, technology, engineering, and math are integrated into your child’s playful activities throughout the week. As they build, count, identify patterns, and begin to hypothesize, they flex their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

Support For Social Emotional Growth For Healthy Behaviors & Relationships

With positive affirmations and gentle redirection, our loving teachers guide your child to become a kind, caring classroom participant. This support helps children build the self-assurance and social confidence they’ll carry with them into kindergarten and beyond.

Music & Art Unlock Creativity

During circle time and at our learning stations, your child explores creative activities including painting, drawing, playing musical instruments, and moving to music, giving them a chance to express their creativity and individuality.

Exciting Field Trips Expand & Enhance Learning

Outings and visits from special guests are opportunities for Pre-K and school-age children to apply their learning in the real world as they make connections and discoveries. We partner with Mentor Public Library for monthly story time and visit Mentor Civic Center ice rink and pool.
