Our comprehensive literacy curriculum provides an important educational foundation for each children. In our Threes classroom, children learn sight words, letter sounds, phonics, vowels, consonants, letter blends, and trigraphs (groups of three letters that make a sound, such as -sph- or -eau-). Outside of our centers, trigraphs are rarely taught before first grade.

Our teachers encourage students to grow, learn and develop at their own pace. We do not use rote memorization, testing, or homework. Each student builds a base knowledge of literacy that will benefit them throughout their whole lives.

The transition to kindergarten is a big step, and our program helps children prepare. Pre-K continues building their foundation in literacy and also learn about numbers and simple arithmetic. We teach our children everything from the parts of a plant to the presidents, to the Periodic Table of Elements. Nothing is off-limits in our classrooms, because there’s no limit to what a child can comprehend.

When children graduate, they are ready for the next stage of their education. Elementary school teachers tell us our graduates are some of the most prepared in their classrooms. Our unique learning environment creates successful students who thrive in kindergarten and beyond.

Understanding the Significance of Each Developmental Stage

Children progress through key developmental stages that shape their cognitive abilities, emotional intelligence, and physical skills. At Little Newtons, we recognize the importance of tailoring our programs to support each stage, ensuring that your child receives age-appropriate learning experiences. From infants to school-age children, our curriculum is designed to foster creativity, independence, and a love for learning.

Infancy is a time of rapid sensory development, where babies begin to recognize voices, distinguish shapes and colors, and respond to their environment. As toddlers take their first steps toward independence, they develop language skills and motor abilities through active play. Preschoolers begin to grasp fundamental academic concepts while refining their social skills. By the time they reach prekindergarten, children enhance their critical thinking abilities, preparing them for the structured learning environment of kindergarten.

By understanding and supporting these stages of development, we provide a seamless transition through each milestone, ensuring your child develops at their own pace with the right guidance.
