Our Classrooms
Infants 0-1 Yr
The INFNAT Creative Curriculum is a developmentally appropriate, play-based learning framework designed specifically for infants and toddlers. Rooted in research and guided by the individual needs of young children, this curriculum focuses on nurturing curiosity, encouraging exploration, and building strong foundational skills through responsive caregiving and sensory-rich environments.
Toddler 1-2 Yr
The Toddler Creative Curriculum for 1–2-year-olds is a research-based, child-centered approach designed to nurture the rapid development that occurs during this important stage of early childhood. At this age, toddlers are becoming more mobile, more curious, and more expressive. Our curriculum supports these emerging skills through purposeful play, responsive teaching, and a rich learning environment that promotes exploration, discovery, and independence.
Early Preschool 2-3 Yr
The Early Preschool Creative Curriculum is a thoughtfully designed, play-based program that supports the unique developmental needs of two- to three-year-olds. At this age, children are rapidly growing in independence, language, and social understanding. This curriculum fosters those skills through engaging, hands-on experiences that promote curiosity, creativity, and foundational learning across all domains of development.
Preschool 3-4 Yr
The Preschool Creative Curriculum for 3–4-year-olds is a comprehensive, play-based learning program designed to support the growing independence, curiosity, and imagination of young learners. At this stage, children begin to engage more deeply in peer relationships, use more complex language, and explore the world with greater confidence. The curriculum balances intentional teaching with child-led exploration to promote social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Prekindergarten 4-5 Yr
The Pre-Kindergarten Creative Curriculum is a dynamic, research-based program designed to prepare children ages 4 to 5 for a successful transition into kindergarten. It provides a balanced approach to learning by integrating academic readiness with social-emotional development, creativity, and critical thinking. Through hands-on experiences and guided exploration, children build foundational skills across all key developmental areas.
