At Small World Learning center & childcare, we provide our students with a developmentally appropriate curriculum based on TEXAS standards. NAEYC, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, defines developmentally appropriate curriculum as follows: “NAEYC defines “developmentally appropriate practice” as methods that promote each child’s optimal development and learning through a strengths-based, play-based approach to joyful, engaged learning.” We believe this to be the heart of our curriculum. Our weekly lesson plans are developed through our students’ interests and what grabs their attention. We love to study themes that get them excited, interested and progress their natural cognitive development. We try our best to meet every child’s individual cognitive and development level and encourage and inspire them to continue to advance this growth.
