Our Curriculum Philosophy

Momentum Early Learning’s curriculum is based on several key ideas:

1. Children learn through play in both their learning experiences and their environment.
2. Daily routines and meaningful experiences enhance children’s learning.
3. Children develop every day in five main areas of development: health and physical development, social and emotional development, language development and communication, approaches to learning, and cognition and general knowledge.
4. Literacy and language development are encouraged daily in the classroom.
5. Opportunities for exploration and discovery encourage children to love learning.
6. A strong classroom community—learning environment enables children to develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.
7. The teaching staff use developmentally appropriate practices in the classroom and take advantage of teachable moments.
8. The teaching staff makes adjustments in their teaching to meet the strengths, needs and interests of individual children.
9. Positive reinforcement and guidance is necessary for building relationships with children.
10. Parent partnerships are a key ingredient to child care/school success.
