Home / Programs / Our Curriculum The Perfect Balance of Learning and Play We know that exceptional early childhood education goes far beyond isolated lessons. Our proprietary Links to Learning curriculum weaves together multiple disciplines, and is thoughtfully tailored to each child’s individual interests and developmental stage. Does your child like playing with blocks? We have tailored lesson plans delivered by passionate teachers that teachers may inspire her to build a tower while naming the colors and counting the blocks, linking language, math, and fine motor skills! Through this approach, children cultivate genuine confidence, essential academic and life skills, and a lifelong love of learning. Our program has six stages of age-appropriate learning and growth. From exploring the world around them to building early reading skills, we help students every step of the way. Schedule a Tour The Seven Components of Links to Learning: Language & Literacy We nurture a lifelong love of reading through intentional daily immersion in stories, letters, and language. Through a literacy approach designed by our instructional experts, our print-rich environments invite students to bridge the gap between spoken thought and written expression. As they engage with high-quality literature and phonics, they develop the fluency and enthusiasm required to become sophisticated, independent readers. Mathematical Thinking Mathematics is introduced as a tool for understanding the world. Through our research-based instructional methods we introduce our students to foundational concepts in addition, subtraction, and geometry. Through hands-on exploration, they develop the ability to compare quantities, recognize patterns, and draw conclusions. These activities build the bedrock for the mathematical understanding, analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills needed for more advanced subject matter in elementary school and beyond. Social-Emotional Learning Social-emotional learning is at the heart of Links to Learning and woven throughout our planned daily lessons. Our nurturing teachers guide students to recognize, name, and navigate their own emotions, as well as to develop empathy for the feelings of others. Students explore kindness, cooperation, and their place within a broader community through the use of puppets, literature, and role play. They gain the skills needed to self-regulate and express themselves with clarity and grace. Wellness Wellness is a critical component of early learning and development. We help our students develop their motor skills through dance, games, and physical activities. Our program also introduces them to foundational concepts of nutrition in order to understand how nourishing foods fuel growth, energy, and wellbeing. Students practice self-care routines, including proper handwashing, each day. Creative Expression Through music, visual art, and imaginative play in our Links to Learning experiences, our students discover the expressive possibilities within themselves. They build a rich vocabulary of artistic and musical concepts, exploring color, form, rhythm, and sound. In dramatic play, students author their own narratives and bring their imaginations to life. Scientific Exploration Our young scientists engage in hands-on inquiry through experimentation, observation, and collaborative problem-solving. They investigate how structures are built, how natural phenomena occur, how materials interact, and how machines function. Our science lessons develop foundational practices, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the collaborative spirit that defines great scientific minds. Citizens of the World Our curriculum cultivates a genuine respect, understanding and appreciation for different people and places. Students explore traditions, celebrations, and customs from cultures around the globe. Spanish is woven through the day, introducing students to a second language in a natural way. The Hallmarks of Links to Learning: Slide 1 Slide 2 Slide 3 Slide 4 Slide 5 Social-Emotional Learning Social-emotional development is equally important to academic achievement. Each day, our students practice cooperation, conflict resolution, and self-advocacy through structured and spontaneous interactions with their peers. Every classroom activity is designed to help our students feel more confident in their learning and grounded in their character. Center-Based Learning Center-Based Learning Our classrooms are organized into purposeful learning centers, activity-rich environments where children engage in small-group exploration. These centers help them connect complex ideas to experiences in real life, reinforcing their daily learning. Whether playing pretend in the dramatic play center or doing an experiment in the science center, our students love moving throughout our classroom. Literacy-Based Curriculum Literacy-Based Curriculum Literature is at the heart of our instructional approach. Our print-rich classrooms reinforce the connection between spoken and written language at every turn. From the labels on classroom shelves to the stories shared at circle time, every detail of our preschool is designed to spark a child’s natural desire to read and comprehend. Personalized Learning Personalized Learning Our educators recognize that every child’s educational journey is uniquely their own. Through small-group instruction, teachers differentiate their approach to meet each student at their level, providing appropriate challenge and support. Every classroom is a warm, inclusive space in which each child is seen, valued, and empowered to flourish. Family Communication Family Communication We are committed to keeping families informed and connected to their child’s educational experience. Through parent-teacher conferences, monthly folders, and our communication app, we ensure that you remain an engaged and informed partner in your child’s growth. Social-Emotional Learning
