CURRICULUM

  First English Lutheran Child Development Center is
  based on the principle that children learn best when
  they are active participants.

Even the youngest children are given frequent opportunities to make choices about their play. All of the children choose among activities that encourage divergent thinking, stimulate creativity, and center on the needs of the individual child.

Children are given chances to explore through a variety of mediums. They are encouraged to expand their knowledge of their world through the use of sensory materials, cooking experiences, large motor activities, musical instruments, open-ended and manipulative toys, and a large shaded playground.  The children utilize costumes and props to enhance dramatic play. Age appropriate reading, writing, and mathematical skills are fostered through a variety of activities.
