Children learn by doing! They are interested in hands-on materials and are offered opportunities to make meaningful choices. The curriculum we use, called FunShine Express™, offers a wide variety of ideas to build early literacy, math, science, social skills, and MORE!
Through the activities in each lesson plan, we address the social, physical, emotional, and cognitive needs of each child. Our curriculum stimulates thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving.
The FunShine curriculum actively engages children and support differences in learning styles, maturity, and interests. This guarantees that our curriculum has the depth to meet educational standards.
