Philosophy of Education
At Teachable Moments Center, we believe that children learn through project-based activities that are an extension to their in-school learning. This helps them continue to explore and discover their world, become more self-aware and confident, and reach developmental milestones.
We ensure a safe, warm, and responsive environment and access to appropriate learning materials, technology, and books.
An array of experiences is provided to meet each individual child’s learning style and a supportive, inclusive, and multi-sensory enlightening setting in which your child’s needs can be met.
General Curriculum and Activities
Teachable Moments Center follows the Creative Curriculum framework.
In preschool, the focus is on developmentally appropriate learning and Kindergarten readiness. Your child’s day is filled with fun hands-on learning experiences, circle time (or whole group time), indoor and outdoor playtime, group meals, quiet activities, and rest time. Through individual projects or in small groups, children are guided to areas of interest. Many of their explorations will include reading, music and movement, writing, math, and science with their teacher, though activities are not limited to these areas.
