Curriculum
Frog Street: Designed around the latest scientific early brain development research, this year-round program focuses on enhancing the simple joy of childhood while equipping caregivers to nurture curiosity through exploration. Frog Street Toddler, created by Dr. Pam Schiller, incorporates Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline® and includes 52 weeks of activity choices specifically created for children ages 18-36 months. Frog Street Preschool Two's offers:
• Activity choices organized around five developmental domains
• Differentiated instruction options to meet the needs of all learners
• Easy infusion into daily routines, such as diaper changing, transitions and outdoor play
• Designed with intention and purpose to move children forward in their development
With an addition to the Frog street Curriculum, GELC has handpicked academic skills to foster the minds of our preschoolers to prepare them for the next developmental stage, such as:
- Letter names & sounds
- Number Recognition
- Shape Identifying
- Hands-On STEM & Science Exploration
- Sign Language
- Character Building
We approach this stage of development with creativity and a great deal of humor. We begin with a gentle introduction to structure and academics balanced by many opportunities to move and discover. As the two-year-old's continue to mature, we offer activities that allow the children to explore, investigate and discover life around them. We promote learning through hands-on, interactive and engaging them in small and large group time instruction. The 2's program uses a state-approved curriculum.
