Research-Based Curriculum
We use the Experience Curriculum, a research-based, play-centered program designed for ages 15 months to 5 years. Children explore language, math, science, art, music, movement, and social skills through hands-on activities. It supports early learning goals while allowing children to follow their curiosity and develop at their own pace.
