Our Curriculum
The Science of Teaching Pre-schoolers
Harry Tots Pre-school & Daycare practices an individualized, developmentally appropriate approach to early childhood education, using criteria from the Montessori approach
Our approach to preschool curriculum embraces components of many different theories and practices. The unique characteristics of each individual child are carefully considered in addition to group dynamics when planning classroom activities, as is common in Montessori preschools.
Children learn from educated teachers using Creative Curriculum — a program that features the latest in early childhood development research — and a positive, non-denominational monthly Christian supplement. Each week the teachers implement goal-oriented lesson plans, which include process art, literacy, individual exploration, hands-on STEM lessons, small and large motor skill strengthening, early print work, music time, and more.
Our Philosophy
Harry Tots pre-School and daycare utilizes several different theories and best-practice approaches to early childhood education.
Our educational philosophy, along with the Creative Curriculum, borrows from theories that have found genetic makeup and environment (nature and nurture) to be more or less equal factors in pre-Primary social and educational outcomes. Child development experts have concluded that the environment of a child’s earliest years can have effects that last a lifetime. Research tells us that early childhood development is the result of experiences, coupled with the way a child interprets, recognizes, or modifies those experiences.
Children begin their meals with prayer, in addition to learning early table manners. Although Christian values are taught, honoring and respecting the diversity of all families is a strong value. Children are encouraged to participate in all classroom activities but are never forced to do so.
