Curriculum
Our curriculum and learning time are an important part of your child’s development. The curriculum used at Good-HoneyBears is based on planned, developmentally appropriate, and age appropriate activities. A daily schedule is posted in each classroom outlining the times for daily activities. A weekly lesson and activity plan is also posted in each classroom. The activities for each group will promote social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development by providing time for individual play, group interaction, and teacher directed activities.
By following a structured curriculum, we will provide an environment that promotes the development of the whole child on his own level while intensifying instruction in areas of academic deficits. This prevents boredom which can lead to behavior problems. We believe in positive reinforcement: meaning that by supporting the positive behavior, we may be able to eliminate the negative behavior. We have found that telling children what they can do and praising them for doing it makes them less likely to exhibit unwanted behavior. Our teaching staff will help develop creativity and self-esteem. Without these qualities, children often become withdrawn and unsure of themselves. We know that children learn from concrete to abstract; therefore, we will provide activities that teach from concrete experiences to abstract thinking. By providing our children with the best early childhood educational experience, we are not only assisting parents today, but we are building a foundation for many years of learning.
