A Holistic Approach to the Whole Child
ABCD Head Start is committed to serving the whole child. The program starts by providing a clean, safe, and caring classroom. Parents are always welcome in the classroom, and communication between parents and staff is encouraged on a daily basis so that children can see family and staff working together through Education Advisory Committee.
A Carefully Crafted, Creative Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum for Preschoolers and Creative Curriculum for infants, toddlers and two's are used as the curriculum basis for the program and supports social and emotional development by:
- Enhancing children's strengths
- Building trust
- Fostering independence, self-control, and respect for others
Additionally we create an appropriate environment and provide adult guidance to allow for the participation of children with special needs. The curriculum plans for routines and transitions so that they occur in a timely, predictable, and calm manner according to each child's needs. It supports physical development and fosters the development of gross and fine motor skills by providing sufficient and appropriate time, space, equipment, and materials.
