Curriculum
Every interaction is an opportunity to learn
Children thrive and develop in different ways so it is our goal to cultivate a stimulating environment that expands their innate abilities through various learning areas. Our educators encourage children with a “learning is fun” philosophy through play and positive reinforcement and build upon the skills they acquire at various ages and stages of their development. Each classroom is designed with learning centers to offer children the ability to engage in teacher-led activities, child-led interests and individual play.
Why we chose The Creative Curriculum
Grays Ferry Early Learning Academy offers an outstanding curriculum. We are proud to be incorporating the popular research based The Creative Curriculum throughout our center.
The Creative Curriculum is aligned with the Pennsylvania early learning standards. What this means is that in every classroom, the children are learning what their age group is expected to know at their age and a whole lot more, as we have very high expectations for our students and educators.
