Our curriculum is designed to meet the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social needs of each individual child. We believe in providing activities that promote the development of emerging skills, which is why we use the Pinnacle Curriculum, which is based on the works of Jean Piaget, Howard Gardner, and Erik Erickson.
Pinnacle Curriculum is an early childhood curriculum designed to engage children in developmentally appropriate activities. The program provides hands-on, center-based activities focused on development of emerging skills in childhood age groups.
Two-, Three-, and Four-Year-Olds: Pinnacle Curriculum follows a daily activity format that matches the ever-changing needs of each child. With a program specific to the educational and emotional needs, interests, and activity levels of each age group, Pinnacle Curriculum meets learning objectives that will help every child move towards their potential. Pinnacle Curriculum provides for these age groups small and large group time activities, along with center-based activities for as many centers as a classroom can hold.
School-Age Children: Whether students want to work on a creative art project, do homework, or just relax in the "Chill Zone", Pinnacle Curriculum assists school-age teachers in creating an attractive and fun environment for afterschoolers. Pinnacle Curriculum provides opportunities for students to interact with each other as they participate in activities that stimulate their creativity and well-being.
World Languages: We are proud to offer world languages to our children at no additional costs. We currently teach German, Spanish, and Sign Language in all of our centers. It’s our way of making sure that our children are as well rounded as possible and accepting of all cultures.
We have been happy members of the Childfirst family for 4 years. The teachers are great and the curriculum is fantastic. We opted out of the school district’s 4K program and he is more than ready for Kindergarten. The only thing that was hard to get used to was the fact that our kids didn’t want to come home! ~ Jane C.
