| Curriculum Statement At Tumble Bugs, our curriculum is based upon active learning. We believe that the work of children is play, and through play they learn best and most. Children are naturally curious, and love to explore. They learn by doing, and active learning fosters their need to do just that. Children are able to grow in all areas of development when actively learning. Using play as a learning tool makes the child an active participant in their growth and development. It is challenging and rewarding for children (of all ages) to learn by unwrapping the layers a teacher has created. Studies have shown that children do not all learn at the same pace. Children of the same age may not be at the same skill level. Active learning allows children to work and learn at their own pace and skill level. This is extremely important for young children. We do not want them to feel like they “can’t”! Our curriculum will include many themes. Each classroom functions independently, and therefore you may see different themes in different rooms. Each classroom will be working on age appropriate skills for the children enrolled in that room. Listed below you will find some of the objectives for our classrooms. |

| Did you know that research has demonstrated that brain development is related to movement and the development of motor skills? As children begin to develop motor skills, brain cells called neurons form connections called synapses. More connections result in better brain function. The left brain thinks in pieces. It is sequential and it likes detail and language. The right brain looks at the whole picture. It is kinesthetic, visual, and creative. When children learn movement skills that involve the use of the right and left sides of the body in conjunction with one another, connections are formed resulting in better overall brain function! |
