Young children are learning all the time! At TCA each experience in the life of a child is seen as "curriculum” or an opportunity to learn new concepts and to gain new skills and ideas. Daily experiences are tailored for each individual child to reach optimal development and success. Through play, active participation and decision-making, and learning centers, young children: increase their awareness of the world around them, build skills for positive and healthy interactions with peers and adults, gain foundational skills in literacy and mathematics needed to be successful in school learn to care for and respect materials and property. We strive to incorporate developmentally appropriate activities that are designed to meet children’s physical, social, cognitive, and emotional needs.
