Teaching Tree follows Creative Curriculum® and Teaching Strategies GOLD for classroom curriculum and assessments. Through studies, which are hands-on, project-based investigations, The Creative Curriculum® helps teachers build children’s confidence, creativity and critical thinking skills and promote positive outcomes. Teaching Strategies GOLD® is an authentic, ongoing observational system for assessing children from birth through kindergarten and is proven to be valid and reliable by extensive field testing. It helps teachers observe children in the context of everyday experiences, which is an effective way to get to know them well and find out what they know and can do.
The philosophy of Teaching Tree Early Childhood Learning Center is to provide a stimulating environment for children and to help each child develop his or her own skills according to their individual capabilities. We believe that children learn and grow best in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust and when they are actively engaged in their environment. We strive to provide a wide range of hands-on activities throughout the day that will contribute to all areas of their growth and development.
