A Child’s University is an award-winning organization with immense gratitude for the families who place their trust in our school, the children who inspire us to give our best each day, the community for their support of our mission, and for our Team Members who nourish the spirit of our school with their innovation, motivation, and determination.
At A Child’s University, we engage and inspire students through the use of multiple learning approaches within the Experience Curriculum and Sadlier program. We fully understand the importance of play as a means of learning and encourage children’s interests and curiosity within our classrooms. Our classrooms are organized into many learning interest centers such as reading corner, home living and dramatic play, math and science development, blocks and building, arts and crafts, and more.
The curriculum at A Child’s University is rooted in national standards and designed around local education guidelines to ensure the program content meets the cognitive, social, physical, and emotional needs of each child in an inclusive learning environment. Inclusion involves careful assessment of each student’s needs and the application of measures that will meet them. Properly implemented through teamwork, collaboration, co-planning, and co-teaching, inclusive practices benefit all students. Some of the many gains made through inclusive practices are in the areas of social interaction, language development, appropriate behaviors, self-esteem, and academic performance. Through inclusive practices, we develop patience, acceptance, helpfulness, diversity, and compassion.
The school is led by professionals who have the highest commitment to the success of young children and a passion for serving each child and their family. Above all, the teaching team abundantly provides families, children, and each other with love and kindness in all interactions, communications, and thoughts. Our teachers encourage and guide children to make their own choices throughout the day and develop a strong foundation for these early learning years.
A Child’s University embraces multiple early learning philosophies from many renowned theorists such as Lev Vygotsky, Maria Montessori, Howard Gardner, and Sarah Smilansky. Many of these theorists believed that children are curious, active learners and that there is an order to the development of cognitive skills. We encourage young children’s thinking and reasoning skills by applying their theories to our work with children.
