At Ada Village Preschool, our curriculum is built upon evidenced based theories of child development and combines frameworks for learning that support children as active learners. Our curriculum and planned learning experiences are based on the three following guiding principles:
We believe an effective early childhood curriculum:

• Addresses multiple domains of children's development including physical, social, emotional, language and cognitive development.
• Is sensitive to the strengths and needs of individual children.
• Supports the view that children are active learners and they learn best when they engage in content and activities that are relevant and meaningful to them.

•  A Stimulating Learning Environment
