Curriculum

Our Infant Program provides a nurturing, responsive environment where babies develop secure relationships with caregivers while exploring the world around them. Teachers partner closely with families to maintain individualized schedules for feeding, sleeping, and daily routines.

Through loving interactions, sensory experiences, music, movement, tummy time, and exploration, infants develop foundational cognitive, physical, social, and emotional skills. Teachers carefully observe each child's growth and milestones to provide individualized support and learning experiences.

Because every child develops at their own pace, movement from the Infant Program to the next classroom is not based solely on chronological age. Readiness for transition is determined through ongoing collaboration between teachers, families, and administration, taking into consideration each child's developmental progress, individual needs, and overall readiness for the next learning environment.

Our Young Toddler classroom supports children as they become more mobile, curious, and independent. Teachers create a safe and engaging environment where children can explore, investigate, and develop emerging skills through play and hands-on experiences.

Children are encouraged to build language skills, practice social interactions, develop self-help abilities, and strengthen large and fine motor skills. Daily routines provide consistency while allowing opportunities for discovery, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences.

As with our Infant Program, transitions to the next classroom are based on developmental readiness rather than age alone. Teachers and families work together to ensure each child is emotionally, socially, physically, and developmentally prepared before moving to the next classroom.

Our Toddler classroom is filled with active exploration, discovery, and growing independence. Children engage in experiences that encourage language development, problem-solving, social interaction, and self-confidence.

Teachers support children as they learn to communicate their needs, develop friendships, follow routines, and navigate new experiences. Through art, sensory exploration, music, movement, dramatic play, and outdoor activities, toddlers develop essential skills while learning in a joyful and supportive environment.

Our Preschool Foundations classroom serves as a bridge between toddlerhood and preschool. Children continue developing independence while beginning to engage in more structured learning experiences and collaborative play.

Teachers support emerging social skills, self-regulation, language development, and early academic concepts through hands-on exploration and project-based learning. Children are encouraged to ask questions, solve problems, express creativity, and develop confidence as they prepare for the preschool years.

Our Preschool classroom is designed to nurture curiosity, exploration, and social development. Children engage in hands-on experiences that encourage learning through play while building foundational skills in language, literacy, mathematics, science, and the arts.

Teachers create an environment where children are encouraged to ask questions, solve problems, and develop friendships. Daily experiences focus on developing self-help skills, communication, emotional regulation, and cooperation. Through project-based investigations, creative expression, outdoor play, and small-group activities, children build the confidence and skills needed for continued growth.

Our Pre-Kindergarten classroom provides a rich learning environment that supports children's increasing independence and readiness for future academic experiences. Children participate in deeper project work, collaborative learning opportunities, and activities that strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

The curriculum focuses on expanding literacy, early mathematics, scientific inquiry, social studies, and creative arts while fostering social-emotional development. Children are encouraged to take leadership roles, work cooperatively with peers, and develop responsibility within the classroom community. Experiences are designed to prepare children for a successful transition to kindergarten while maintaining the importance of learning through play.

Our Transitional Kindergarten program is designed for children who miss the kindergarten age cutoff or who may benefit from an additional year of growth before entering kindergarten. This program bridges the gap between preschool and kindergarten by providing a balance of academic readiness, social-emotional development, and hands-on exploration.

Children engage in more advanced learning experiences that support emerging literacy, writing, mathematics, science, and problem-solving skills while continuing to learn through meaningful play and inquiry. The program emphasizes independence, self-confidence, executive functioning skills, and peer collaboration.

Transitional Kindergarten provides children with the opportunity to mature socially, emotionally, physically, and academically in a nurturing environment. By the end of the year, children are well-prepared to enter kindergarten with the confidence, skills, and enthusiasm needed for future success.

At Reibman Hall Children's Center, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued, supported, and inspired to learn. We look forward to partnering with families as we help each child grow, discover, and thrive.
