The ARK Academy uses the renowned research driven curriculum, Teaching Strategies as our main educational resource alongside other supplemental resources. Teaching Strategies is the only connected ecosystem in Early Childhood Education connecting. It is designed to connect teachers, children, and families to engaging learning experiences, informative data, and stronger partnerships. It drives a comprehensive solution for our youngest learners from infant/toddler years to preschool years.
~~~Our “Whole child” approach allows connection of the curriculum to individual child assessments and ultimately, individualized learning.
~~~Our supplemental curriculum includes Kids of Integrity, Adventures in Learning, Adventures for Toddlers, and Connecting with Infants and altogether, these forms a basis for our daily activities and classroom environments.
~~~These curricula provide for each area of your child’s development: social-emotional, physical, intellectual, creative- aesthetic, and language-literacy while providing opportunities for multicultural and inclusive experiences.
~~~Since young children learn best through their senses and by moving, our teachers are trained to create these experiences throughout the day. Our teachers use play experiences to help children learn skills and concepts.
~~~Our curriculum allows for individualization in our daily activity plans; it provides experiences and environments that will encourage your child to explore and discover at their own pace and according to their own interests. While each classroom will have a daily schedule of activities, all schedules are flexible and can be changed at any time by the classroom lead teacher
In summary, at The ARK Academy, we love first, then teach. This is the hallmark of our program.
