Learning Structure and Curriculum

The complete range of the curriculum is reflected in the planned educational environment of the Center. Equipped Interest Centers,with many materials donated by Fisher-Price Company, are designed to promote optimal learning both individually or in group activities.

Centers of Interest include:

• Socio-dramatic play-understanding personal-social relationships, self-expression, and communication.
• Occupation, Dolls, and Puppets: experiencing different roles.
• Art activities-multi-media self-expression, creativity, and seasonal projects with artwork. Emphasis on the process rather than the final product.
