Guiding principles that define our Curriculum are in alignment with “MA Curriculum Frameworks” and NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) 

Principle 1: All young children are capable of learning.  Learning predominantly occurs within the context of one’s family and culture.  Diversity and multiculturalism allows for an enriched learning environment
Principle 2:  Young children learn by doing i.e. exploring and engaging with others.  Relationships and interactions between the child and dependable adults (family and educators) are central in early learning.  Partnership between family and educators is critical for the student’s success
Principle 3:  Children benefit from rich, multi-sensory learning environments that support different interests, learning styles and kinds of intelligence.  Early language and literacy sets the stage for future learning.
