Our Curriculum

Bare Essentials Childcare encourages the growth and development of children.

 

Children’s growth is based on their developmental milestones which encourages children to learn at their own pace.

Creative Curriculum

The Creative Curriculum includes developmentally appropriate goals and objectives for children within four main categories of interest: social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language. ... Within this stage, children learn how to make friends, how to have group interactions and how to follow rules. They learn how to trust, crawl, walk, talk, shake, rattle, and roll!

 

Infants and toddlers not only get a hands-on learning experience but also get to do so in a loving, warm, safe and caring environment. A smiling face is never missed in our care.

Children are provided with:

✔ Hands-on experiences​

✔ Quality toys and activities

✔ Stimulating classroom environments

The Creative Curriculum helps teachers interact with children in ways that promote development and learning, foster children's social competence and independence, support children's learning through play, create rich environments for learning, and forge strong home-school connections.

Project Construct Curriculum

The Project Construct Curriculum provides students with clear goals and objectives. Learning is identified in nine areas of development and learning: Social-Emotional, Physical, Language, Cognitive, Literacy, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Studies, and the Arts.

 

Children learn to read using Phonics, Vowels, and Letter Recognition. The teacher is engaged in an ongoing cycle of observing, guided learning, and assessing children's progress.

 

During this cycle teachers interact with children continuously and make decisions about when and how to respond to meet individual and group needs through open ended questions.
