Young children are naturally curious about the world around them, and everything we do within the Woodland Early Childhood Program helps foster each child’s innate inquisitiveness. Project based learning, grounded by a deep appreciation for child centered emergent curriculum, guides our philosophical approach to instruction. Our talented team of experienced educators deepen each child’s sense of wonder, as students engage in rich, meaningful, and relevant units of study. Over the course of 6 to 8 weeks, our preschoolers become experts in exciting topics through the use of authentic materials, intentional read alouds, and contextualized learning experiences. Every child is a unique individual, and our robust curriculum supports kinesthetic, auditory, visual, and tactile learners, built upon a developmentally appropriate framework. Through these learning experiences, we hope prepare a generation of children to become creative, compassionate critical thinkers in today’s ever changing world.

Our approach to teaching and learning is rooted in the theory that children learn best through play, with ample opportunities for self-directed choices.
