Children's Garden of Learning approaches its curriculum planning is based on three things:

PLAY

It is through play that children explore boundaries, ability, arenas of and stages leading to physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. 

ENVIRONMENT

The foundation of our curriculum, the environment we create is critical to the success of learning at CGL.  Child-centered activities, attractive and interesting natural materials - these are provided in a carefully organized and thoughtful manner.

CHILD-CENTRIC

Children’s themes, not the adult’s that we use as the basis of our planning. The teacher’s plans are a thoughtful introduction of materials to stimulate the emergence of these themes.



The staff at Children's Garden of Learning has spent much time exploring curriculum theory.  We have consulted with experienced professionals, attended nationally accredited programs, and continually research curriculum literature and theory.  The curriculum at Children's Garden of Learning is dynamic and ever-changing, and will continue to grow and change along with the most up-to-date early childhood research.
