Our Curriculum

At City Strivers we learn through play! Children learn best when they are able to explore their environment through hands on learning experiences. Engaging with learning concepts through play encourages children to use their natural curiosity, as little scientists, to build on their knowledge of the world around them as they grow and develop. It is our mission at City Strivers to support our students exploration through sensory activities, music, structured and unstructured play, arts & crafts, STEM, and other hands on activities.

We develop our own curriculum themes and our teachers plan developmentally appropriate activities for the students based on our themes and learning focuses for each month. The activities we plan cater to each area of development including but not limited to cognitive, socio-emotional, physical, and language development. We not only focus on the normal education concepts such as abc's and 123's but we also place emphasis on social skills as we work to support children in their exploration of their independence, also how they interact with others, and how they express their emotions.

We engage our infants through relationship-based experiences to support learning and development for ages 3 months to 18 months old. Our program uses activities and projects that promote creative thinking and are simply a starting point for a child’s imagination. Activities in this curriculum will invite infants to express their thoughts through art, music, dramatic play, and storytelling. 

The program is easy to use, flexible and supports healthy and caring routines. 

The following are the main objectives of our infant curriculum: 

  1. Respond

  2. Play

  3. Connect

  4. Observe

 

Children ages 18-36 months have a comprehensive curriculum approach. We use a combination of activities to support toddlers' exploration of the world around them as they build foundational development in social-emotional, motor, language and cognitive skills.

 

Examples of our combination of activities include, but are not limited to: 

Social Development: Nurtures caring relationships with children and helps them express their feelings.

Sensory:  Offer sensory-rich play that invites children to explore their imaginations through art and drama, investigate our world, and problem-solve new challenges.

 

Art:  Experiences are toddler- friendly with a focus on painting, stamping, collaging, coloring and using stickers.

Language and Literacy:  Experiences invite children to build vocabulary, tell stories with includes story pieces, and listen to read-aloud.

Cognitive/Mathematics: Experiences offer a variety of tray play games that include supplies for learning shapes, colors, sorting manipulatives, a variety of self-help activities for cleaning and feeding, number sense activities that explore 1-1 correspondence, more or less concepts and exposure to numbers. 

Music and Movement: Experiences include digital music produced specifically to support toddlers in exploring rhythm pattern games, muscle coordination games, instrument exploration and simple sing-alongs.
