“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But, for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

– Fred Rogers

At Woodbridge Child center, our curriculum aligns with our philosophy, vision and mission statements. Our curriculum focuses on supervised play and creative exploration, allowing every child to explore their world and develop their abilities at their own pace.

The center is divided according to ages into 4 rooms with 6 areas: an infant room, three toddler areas, a Preschool room and a Pre-K room. Each age group has developmentally appropriate activities to foster the physical, social and cognitive development of each child. It is through their environment, materials and learning experiences (both inside and outside the classroom) that the children’s learning is enhanced.  The teacher’s role as facilitator, along with their use of intentional teaching, supports children’s growth, needs, and interests.

Our curriculum is guided by the the standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards (CTLEDS).  These standards cover the following:

• Language and Literacy
• Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development and Health
• Fine and Gross Motor
• Cognition
• Social Studies
• Creative Arts
• Science
• Math
