Our Children's Garden curriculum is developmentally appropriate. Our
program is designed to be open-ended and flexible. Our activities
challenge the children to be creative, as well as to develop emotionally,
cognitively, socially, and physically. Appropriate activities can also build
self-esteem and enthusiasm.

What is developmentally appropriate practice? In simple terms, developmentally
appropriate practice means that preschool activities and programs take into account
what each child is ready for. For example, some four year olds may be ready to begin
to read - many others may not. Developmentally appropriate for most children ages 2-5
means that more activities are child-initiated than teacher-directed. Children should be
offered a wide variety of hands-on opportunities to explore the world around them.
