Curriculum

01

The Perfect Balance of Learning and Play

Teachers do not teach subjects in separate boxes. A block tower becomes a lesson in color names, counting, and small-muscle work all at once. Lesson plans are tailored to each child's interests and stage, across six stages of growth. Ask to see the plans for your child's age group.

The seven components of Links to Learning:

Reading is woven through the day with stories, letters, and language, plus phonics and real books. Math starts with comparing amounts, spotting patterns, and drawing conclusions. Social-emotional learning runs through daily lessons: teachers help children name feelings and notice other people's. Art, music, movement, science, Spanish, and world cultures fill out the rest.

03

Intermediates

Intermediates spend their day in hands-on activity that sparks curiosity. A large part of the work is social: taking turns, sharing, and understanding their own feelings and their classmates'. Teachers also begin building appreciation for diversity at this age, so children learn to accept people both similar to and different from themselves.

04

Pre-K

Pre-K builds the social skills and etiquette a child needs for a smooth move into kindergarten: following classroom rules, listening to teachers and peers, showing respect, following directions. Academically, children work on letter-sound relationships and sight words, practice addition and subtraction, and explore maps and globes. Science inquiry and imaginative play round out the week.

Family Communication

Teachers and administrators work to keep communication simple. That means you should not have to hunt for what your child did today or what comes next. Ask how your child's teacher shares updates, how often, and the best way to raise a question.

What this looks like in practice

In a good early childhood room, curriculum is not a stack of worksheets. It is what happens when a teacher notices a child stacking blocks and joins in, naming colors and counting as they build. Skills get linked that way: language, math, and fine motor work in one stretch of play. Children move through stages at their own pace, from exploring the world to early reading.

You notice curriculum at home in small things. Your child holds a book and tracks the words. They count plates onto the table without being asked. They tell you how a friend felt at school, and why. Those are the signs that reading, math, and social skills are taking hold and carrying past the classroom door.
