Play-Based Curriculum: We proudly adopt the renowned Creative Curriculum for Infants & Toddlers and for Preschoolers. This play-based approach fosters holistic development, empowering children to build cognitive and critical thinking skills, enhance their vocabulary, strengthen fine and gross motor skills, cultivate social competence, and boost creativity. Through play, children learn valuable life lessons such as problem-solving, following rules, sharing, and building character. Purposeful play is the heart of our early childhood program, preparing children to succeed in an ever-changing world.
​
Bridging School & Home: We believe that parents play an essential role in their child's educational journey. Our teachers actively involve parents through back-to-school nights, teacher conferences, and daily updates on their child's developmental progress. We build bridges between a child's two worlds - school and home - to create a supportive and collaborative learning experience.
​
TNS values are embedded deeply throughout our curriculum and expressed by our team.
These values include:
➢ Play-based learning and individuality
➢ Diversity and inclusivity
➢ Safety and friendship
➢ Collaboration and kindness
Toddler Classroom
1-3 Years Old
Younger toddlers explore anything and everything that they possibly can.
In this classroom, our little ones love wandering around learning by using their senses. Our toddlers have a daily schedule consisting of group time, outdoor play, meals and snacks, naptime, and the most important and fun time of the day, PLAYTIME! During our group time, we read books and we talk about our day, explore themes, explore emotions, and what it means to be together in our bright and safe classroom. We enjoy our outdoor playtime and seeing beautiful nature. Singing and playing our days away through both teacher-initiated and child-directed play is what makes our room so special.
​
Young toddlers are now upright at this age - walking, using utensils, running, and sitting in a chair. They are on a stricter schedule with their friends, taking one nap a day, eating, and playing at the same time. They are establishing newly discovered independence and self-help skills and exploring their environments. Routines are essential now to help with smooth transitions and a sense of trust. We also introduce learning centers at this age.
Older toddlers love to dance, sing, and play. We inspire them to explore the world around them and learn something from every experience. Socialization is very important to our older toddlers as they begin to share, use their manners, and learn to take turns. In this age group, we begin to count numbers and have letter recognition. We enjoy singing our daily songs to teach us about the days of the week, the month, and the year. We love diving into our art projects and seeing what we can create with an abundance of materials. We enjoy watching our teachers do exciting science projects and love to watch the students guess what will happen and to see their eyes full of surprise!
Going outside and playing on the playground is a part of our everyday schedule. We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood to further explore.
Preschool Classroom
3-5 years old
Preschoolers are preparing for kindergarten.
​
In this age group, we focus on our social and emotional growth, and explore who we are as beautiful, unique individuals. We learn how to work together and how to conquer objectives on our own. We enjoy writing our names, learning to read, and exploring phonics. Here we learn how to write to express our thoughts and ideas.
​
We love extreme science projects that make us say “WOW!” and we dive into our sensory bin which helps enhance the learning theme we are studying that week. We often have guest speakers and love exploring the community to supplement our learning. We get outside often to move our bodies and strengthen our fine and gross motor muscles. This age group helps to prepare our students for the next grade which is Kindergarten. Our little ones are well on their way to a successful journey to grade school.
