Ascend Curriculum

Our Ascend Curriculum enables teachers to individualize instruction to accommodate the interests and learning styles of each child and ensures that your child is engaged, supported, and challenged at every stage of their development. Each month, our teachers focus on developing age-appropriate skills in areas such as Literacy, Language, Creative Expression, and Physical Fitness.

The Ascend Curriculum recognizes that young children need much more than academic development in their first educational experiences and takes a balanced approach that allows us to focus on the social, emotional, creative, and physical development of your child too.
