Philosophy and Approach
At Apple of Your Eye Academy, we recognize the unique qualities of each child. Our curriculum is designed around the principle that children learn best through play, within a caring and creative environment. This approach supports children in developing control over their physical, emotional, cognitive, and social skills, laying a strong foundation for their future.
Building Community
Every child is a valued member of our community. Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive, supported by their families, the local community, and schools. We promote meaningful interactions among children, their families, teachers, and the broader community, fostering a sense of connection and support.
Learning Through Exploration
We understand the critical role of play in a child’s development. Our program emphasizes active exploration, providing various materials and activities that encourage children to engage with their environment, peers, and adults. Daily outdoor activities are an essential part of our curriculum, enhancing the overall learning experience.
High Expectations for All
We hold high expectations for all children, respecting the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and cultures they bring. We believe in the potential of every child to achieve positive developmental milestones and strive to create an inclusive environment that nurtures all learners.
Individual Pace of Development
We respect that children develop at their own unique pace. Our program is designed to accommodate these individual differences, ensuring that each child can achieve their benchmarks in their own time and way.
Holistic Curriculum
Our Early Childhood Education Program offers a well-rounded curriculum that supports academic, social, physical, and emotional growth. We emphasize learning through various approaches, providing a strong foundation for each child’s future.
