The Ascend Curriculum

We believe that every student is a unique individual who deserves to be treated with respect. The flexibility built into our Ascend Curriculum allows us to create individualized learning experiences for each child and our teachers focus on developing new skills in subjects such as Literacy and Communication, Baby Signs, Spanish, Art, Science & Sensory, and Technology every month. Our teachers create a caring community in the classroom where children are encouraged to interact with their peers and learn new skills.

Kind Child

We nurture friendships, cultivate positive character traits, and strengthen social skills through our Kind Child culture. Kind Child is an integral part of our Ascend Curriculum and we focus on social and emotional skills every month and the development of a new character trait such as Friendship, Empathy, and a Positive Self-Image every two months. The result is a positive and supportive preschool environment where every child feels welcome.

This is extremely important in preparation for life in elementary school. Teaching children in our care to be compassionate, confident, and kind ensures they are prepared to thrive in their future classrooms.
