Our House Curriculum

Children will participate in a variety of activities.  These activities are based on developing the whole child, not just a specific area of ability.  The activites encompass language development, sensory awareness, large and small motor development, spatial and number concepts, art and music appreciation, practical life skills, nature and science, visual and auditory discrimination and social personal growth.

We utilize a spiral curriculum with a them approach where the environment and learning experiences are based on the children's interests and planned to complement the theme.

The concept of "Learning Centers" is also used to help develop skills, provide academic instruction and allow for discovery learning.

We have made our entire Curriculum available online for you to view, print, or download. Contained within this document are our:

Program Evaluation

Our House Child Development Center is committed to providing an early childhood program of the highest quality, continually striving to improve our services and performance.  Quality assurance must be supported by quality improvement.  We use various tools to monitor the strengths and weaknesses of our program in relation to meeting the goals. An annual comprehensive program evaluation is conducted to provide valuable information and feedback from families, staff, and administration.  Results identify if all program goals and objectives are met or if improvement in specific areas needs to be addressed, and provide direction for implementing changes when necessary.
