Our lesson plans are designed to focus on each area of development, from cognitive & language, social- emotional, to fine & gross motor skills. Creative and engaging art, music, and sensory experiences are incorporated into each day to allow our students the opportunity to explore and manipulate new materials and experiences. Our teachers reference the age-appropriate Illinois Early Learning Standards when creating their lesson plans and include the standards that will be met through participation in each planned activity. We are proud to give our teachers the opportunity to express their passion by creating their own lesson plans and classroom curriculum.
