​Our Curriculum Prepares Your Children for the Future

SJB Child Development Centers has adopted the Creative Curriculum for our Infant and Toddler, Preschool and School Age programming.

The Creative Curriculum balances teacher‐planned and child‐initiated learning, emphasizing responsiveness to children’s strengths, interests, needs, and learning styles. Nationally known for being forward‐thinking, comprehensive, and rigorously researched, it helps teachers plan and implement content‐rich, developmentally appropriate programs that support active learning and promote children’s progress in all developmental areas.
​
The Creative Curriculum translates child development theory and research into best practice, clearly defining the teacher’s vital role in connecting content, teaching, and learning for preschool children. It includes the five components of teaching preschool children effectively:

• how children develop and learn
• the learning environment
• what children learn
• caring and teaching
• partnering with families

SJB is working hard to close the achievement gap by providing young children with rich learning and development opportunities. Our curriculum focuses on  learning areas such as, social-emotional development, language and literacy, English-language development and mathematics. Our staff is dedicated to the ongoing cycle of observing, documenting, assessing, planning and implementing curriculum while providing parents with learning and engagement opportunities so that they too become a central part of their child’s progress and development.
