Our philosophy of care is centered on professionally trained staff, a high-quality curriculum that benefits children in all developmental areas, and mindfulness.
Passionate Educators
The Children’s Garden’s staff training program creates a sustainable model of quality programming, ensuring that all staff members receive up-to-date and relevant information in the world of child development and education. This comprehensive training includes workshops on innovative teaching methodologies, inclusive practices that celebrate diversity, and strategies for creating nurturing learning environments. Additionally, regular mentorship and peer review sessions are integral to the program, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration among the team. The commitment to professional development empowers our educators to meet each child’s unique needs, crafting an environment where every child can thrive and discover their potential.
Proven Curriculum
Our curriculum is meticulously designed to nurture the whole child, emphasizing not just academic readiness, but also social, emotional, and physical development. Tailored to meet the developmental milestones of each age group, it incorporates a rich blend of stimulating activities, fostering curiosity and a love for exploration. Interactive experiences with music, art, nature, and storytelling are pivotal, encouraging creativity and self-expression.
A Mindfulness Approach
All classrooms practice mindfulness, an evidence-based technique aimed at helping children regulate their emotions and learn skills in peaceful problem-solving. Mindfulness concepts are integrated into classroom projects and literature, making it an interactive curriculum to build emotional literacy through breathing exercises, identification of emotions, and storytelling. When practiced regularly in a classroom setting, mindfulness results in better academic achievement later in life and stronger peer relationships in childhood.
