Curriculum

Our facility has fully adopted the state approved Creative Curriculum for all of our classrooms. We are currently participating in the Creative Curriculum Pilot Program through Hillsborough County’s School Readiness Program and Quality Counts for Kids. In each of our classrooms, our trained staff members provide opportunities for learning and growth through planned activities and observations. Through the use of Teaching Strategies Gold, we are able to document and monitor each child’s progress; allowing our staff to create meaningful lesson plans that address each child’s development needs and goals.
