About the Provider

Description: There is detailed information about our program available on our website - childcarenorwich.org.The curriculum is modeled on the National Association for the Education of Young Children concept of Developmentally Appropriate Practice and uses the Creative Curriculum framework. Teachers plan activities that are age-appropriate yet reflective of the individual needs, interests and developmental level of each child. Curriculum includes: art & craft activities, circle time, daily outside play, dramatic play, regular daily routine, part day preschool program, sand & water play, songs or music activities and story time & literacy activities. Our curriculum addresses all areas of a child's development -- physical, emotional, social & cognitive -- in an integrated way. The program is tailored to meet the needs of children rather than expecting children to adjust to the program.
