Mission Statement
To foster a playful, inquiry-based learning environment where children actively explore and discover, developing their whole selves through hands-on experiences, building confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills necessary for lifelong learning, while addressing all areas of development including social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and language abilities. How is The Creative Curriculum Different from Traditional Preschool Curriculum? The Creative Curriculum for Preschool is a whole-child, comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes rich, engaging, play-based learning experiences; hands-on investigation of interesting materials; nurturing environments; and warm, welcoming, responsive relationships between teachers and children and their families. How does The Creative Curriculum for Preschool Support Family Engagement? Teachers share letters that introduce new study topics in the curriculum and offer ideas for how families can reinforce those topics at home. Our family mobile app enables families to stay connected and informed. The system curates a playlist of resources, such as Modeled Moments, which are videos that demonstrate how children learn from everyday routines and interactions, such as riding in the car on the way to school or unpacking groceries in the kitchen. |
Heritage School of Discovery promises to always put what is best for the children first, and foremost. We are a preschool designed specifically with your children in mind.
