Learning Through Discovery
A hands-on curriculum that nurtures the whole child across four foundational areas.
Cultural Activities
Extends the language curriculum by helping children build an early understanding of the world — historical fact, geography, and an appreciation for cultural differences.
Practical Life
Builds independence and responsibility through purposeful, real-world tasks across Care of Self, Care of Environment, Grace and Courtesy, and Movement.
Sensorial Learning
Invites children to explore their world through a multi-sensory approach — classifying, comparing, and making meaning from what they observe.
Math
Continues the cognitive math development begun in Practical Life and Sensorial, moving toward sharper, more abstract thinking with concrete materials.
