We care about bringing out the best in your child. Whether she chooses to nurture her inner scientist, artist, teacher, doctor, CEO, or all of the above, we give her the freedom to follow her curiosity and passion! At Knowledge Beginnings, your child’s interests will shape what we decide to dig in and explore, and at the same time she’ll be developing skills that will help create a solid foundation for learning and growth.
Fun activities play a big role in how your child will develop critical skills while she’s at her center. It may just feel like playing to your child, but what’s really happening is learning that will last a lifetime! The activities in our curriculum focus on six developmental domains:
Character Development: Being kind and empathetic, and playing fairly are all things that make up character—and we think it’s important to focus on them.
Community: Your child will learn the value of community participation by being involved in an inclusive classroom community with a focus on group projects to explore common goals and enhance communication skills.
Creative Expression: At our centers, your child will get to express his creativity through movement, dance, drama, music, visual arts, and more!
Executive Function: Children learn better when they are focused and able to think before they act. Our curriculum gives your child the chance to build mental flexibility (the ability to handle different situations in different ways) and practice managing his emotions in order to meet challenges and accomplish goals.
Inquiry-Based Learning: STEAM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) give your child the freedom to discover, create, and tinker. Your child will be given problems to solve as well as questions and real-life scenarios to think about so she can learn more about the world around her.
Literacy: We want your child’s inner bookworm to shine through. Whether she naturally gravitates toward reading and writing, or she’s just discovering the world of books, we create an environment that fosters a love of literature for children at all levels of iteracy. Along with learning about different genres and styles of writing, a focus is also put on 21st century literacy.
And there’s more!
Interest Areas: Life is full of choices, and allowing your child to choose the activities she loves most keeps her excited to learn. Children have time every day to explore their own interests in areas like Creative Arts, the Library, Math and Construction, Puzzles and Games, and Science.
Homework Help: Our teachers are here to support your child in completing homework, from science projects and math problems to spelling tests and book reports—which frees up time in the evenings for you to be together as a family.
Daily Fitness and Healthy Snacks: We help children develop healthy bodies and encourage proper nutrition through daily physical activity and healthy snacks.
