3 Important Things A Childcare Curriculum Should Cover

Parents in the United States are spending over 7 percent of their monthly income on childcare activities.

When you’re investing a significant amount in your child’s development, you expect the staff at your local childcare center to provide them with a well-rounded educational set up that benefits them for years to come.

The quality of a childcare curriculum can be measured on the basis of three aspects:

  • The classroom lessons and activities
  • The equipment and materials provided
  • The child’s interactions with other children and their caregivers at the center.

The role of the care provider is to ensure that children’s day is filled with activities and lessons that are engaging, organized, age-appropriate and help kids reach their developmental milestones in all areas of learning.

The first three years of a child’s life are highly impressionable and thus childcare centers hold an enormous responsibility on their shoulders. At Kids ‘R’ Kids, we take great pride in being able to provide innovative childcare programs for a variety of age groups so children can grow into sound, healthy and happy individuals.

Our advanced curriculum doesn’t just prepare your kids for school; it hones them physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually!

Here are some important things our childcare curriculum covers:

1. It includes all core subject areas

Our curriculum is focused on making your children ready for school—and if they’re already there then we ensure they’re going to excel in every domain!

  • Language and literature:We believe children should be given exposure to a range of books, songs, rhymes and spoken language with both, auditory and visual stimulation.
  • Math:Children get to interact with different colors, shapes, patterns and sizes so they can develop numeric and spatial awareness.
  • Science:We encourage critical thinking, the use of sense perception and support experiments to help answer complex queries.
  • Arts, dance, and music:From drama plays to painting, we hone your child’s creativity in their love for visual arts and crafts.

2. It’s research-based

The strength of our curriculum lies in us being able to provide opportunities for research to your kids. Children are naturally inquisitive and it helps to provide them answers that they can see, feel or experience for themselves. Children between the ages of 3 and 5 can benefit from our STEAM Ahead curriculum where we use fun learning techniques to teach children about technology, science, math, and engineering concepts.

3. It incorporates age-appropriate developmental checkpoints

We believe in the concept of developmentally appropriate activities or practices—the idea that our curriculum should engage children in ways that are appropriate for their age-related development. Since we cater to a variety of age groups, we ensure that we cover 4 key domains of learning in all our classes:

  1. Cognitive
  2. Linguistic
  3. Social/Emotional
  4. Physical

A childcare program is only as good as its curriculum. We strive to provide your child with a safe and nurturing environment to enhance their growth. We work with newly born children of 6 weeks of age up to 5th grade students. Get in touch with the Kids ‘R’ Kids team and schedule your tour of our Oviedo, FL care center today!
