Curriculum
Happy children love to learn!
Our Bravo! curriculum is designed by our in-house education team to facilitate learning through play. Children naturally learn best through hands-on exploration and discovery. In the process, they grow to love learning, preparing them for a happy and successful future. Each day, children might solve math problems, play pretend, do yoga or build friendships. Within Bravo!, each of these moments is tailored to nurture children and help them grow. At Doodle Bugs!, every interaction is a learning experience.
Learning Centers
Classrooms are designed to offer children a variety of hands-on activities that cater to each child’s unique learning style and development. Learning centers are interconnected; as children learn math skills, they may also develop literacy, communication and social-emotional competence.
Language Arts
Developing language and literacy enables children to better understand themselves, others and the world around them while setting the foundation for lifelong success. Teachers engage children in interactive stories and songs, provoke thoughtful conversation and promote communication between peers.
Math
Children are born mathematicians! Even at an early age, math encourages children to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills that will serve them in school and beyond. From singing songs to making playdough to building towers out of blocks, there are opportunities to build math concepts and vocabulary everywhere.
Creative Arts
Children who are encouraged to be creative learn to express themselves more completely while developing critical social and leadership skills in the process. Learning opportunities are intentionally designed to promote open-ended exploration in music, movement and the fine arts.
Science
From sensory play to full-fledged experiments, science sparks children’s natural curiosity and encourages them to engage critically with their world. Whether children are observing the weather from their classroom window, watering plants in their center’s garden or experimenting with cause and effect while building with blocks, opportunities for science are everywhere.
Wellness
Daily participation in gross motor activities improves coordination and promotes positive feelings about physical activity. Organized games and sports exercise children’s minds and bodies, making fitness fun. Nutritious meals and pleasant mealtimes also promote healthy habits.
