Curriculum
Children are like wet cement.
Whatever falls on them makes an impression.

Scott Family Childcare Learning Center follows a play-based curriculum. We believe that play is a very important part of a developmentally appropriate infant and toddler and preschool program. Play is a child’s work. It is the young child’s way of reaching out to learn about the world around them.
​
Our approach is thoughtful and balanced. It is also developmentally appropriate and based on best practices in our field. Our program is inspired by a variety of philosophies and approaches, which we blend together into a program that reflects our commitment to helping children lay the best possible social, emotional, physical and cognitive foundations.
​
In our program, children have uninterrupted periods of play time in which to enjoy self-chosen activities. With a variety of materials, children are encouraged to work out individual ideas and foster their creativity. Our program incorporates child-initiated free choice and teacher-initiated activities. We balance individual exploration with group activities and projects. We have a wide range of learning areas, both indoors and outdoors enabling children to explore.
Children thrive in an environment that offers a variety of activities in a rich, well-equipped environment with a consistent, but flexible daily schedule. They depend on predictable routines.
