Our Curriculum

At Busy Little Beavers, we understand that every child is unique and learns at their own pace, through different methods. This is why we are committed to using a curriculum that challenges each child, while also recognizing and celebrating their individual learning style. Our curriculum of choice is  The Creative Curriculum and Creative Curriculum for Infants Toddlers & Twos, which provides a comprehensive approach to early childhood education by incorporating all essential areas of learning. These areas include social/emotional development, physical skills, cognitive growth, language and literacy, mathematics, science and technology, social studies, arts, and English language acquisition. Each of these domains is critical to ensuring your child’s development and future success in school and beyond.

Preparing for School

Our goal is to provide every child with a strong foundation for success as they transition into kindergarten. We achieve this by using a curriculum that mirrors school-based learning strategies. This allows your little one to build the necessary skills they need to thrive academically and socially when they enter elementary school.

Caring Professionals

At the heart of our curriculum is a team of dedicated, caring professionals who are passionate about fostering a warm, nurturing, and happy environment for your child. We believe in creating a space that encourages creative exploration, where children feel safe and supported as they discover new things. Our staff is continuously engaged in professional development to stay up-to-date on the latest trends, techniques, and best practices in early childhood education. This ensures that we are always providing the best educational experience possible.

Assessment and Alignment

To ensure each child’s progress and individual educational goals are being met, we use Teaching Strategies Gold as our assessment tool. This tool allows us to observe and measure your child’s development across all areas of learning. It’s aligned with the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards, so you can trust that your child’s education is being tailored to their specific needs and that we are following state guidelines for early childhood education.

Peace Of Mind

Being a working parent can be difficult and stressful unless you have access to trusted, high quality child care. At Busy Little Beavers we are dedicated to providing parents with peace of mind each day while away from their child knowing their child is learning and happy in a safe and nurturing environment.
