Description
In our toddler classrooms, children begin to acclimate to a daily rhythm of the day within a whole group setting. We follow the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, which views young children as individuals who are curious about their world. Our educators prioritize exposing children to a wide variety of educational opportunities that encourage self-expression, communication, logical thinking, and problem-solving. A mindset of “process over product” informs our activities and play, and keeps toddlers actively engaged and continuously interested in understanding more about themselves, their friends and family, and the world around them.

Description
Preschool educators at Building Blocks shape their classroom environment and embrace the concept of the environment as a “third teacher.” We rely on the sustainability of both traditional hands-on learning materials, such as manipulatives and loose parts, as well as resources for children to document and convey their ideas. By intentionally selecting sustainable and culturally appropriate resources, we empower children to grasp environmental concepts, encourage sustainable habits, and cultivate their roles as responsible global citizens.

Our Emergent Curriculum is child-centered and evolves based on the interests and ideas of the children. Building Blocks educators closely observe children's play and interactions to identify emerging themes and incorporate these into the curriculum. This approach promotes flexibility and responsiveness to children's developmental needs. Each learning area within the classroom is clearly defined and thoughtfully arranged to create an engaging and appealing space for children, promoting active participation and supporting the objectives of our educational curriculum while prioritizing kindergarten readiness for all students.
