Young Children’s Community (YCC) & Children’s House
YCC Ages Birth to 3 - Children's House Ages 3 to 6, Half-Day or All Day Program
Home to our youngest learners, YCC and Children’s House are all about exploring.
Our YCC program fosters early development from birth to age three in a “prepared environment” with specialized materials and a child-centered approach, focusing on practical life skills, movement, language, social interaction, and independence through observation and gentle guidance. The core of the curriculum involves promoting a child’s natural desire to learn through activities that develop concentration, coordination, and self-confidence
Children’s House has spacious classrooms featuring dedicated areas to early learning skills in reading, writing, math, science and geography. Everything has a purpose: Materials are arranged in color-coordinated tubs that go from left to right-reinforcing the flow of reading and writing.
Activities in the practical life area give students opportunity to learn how to tie their shoes, use a paring knife and fold the napkins the class uses at lunch. In addition to caring for their classroom environment and community, these activities also help develop the small muscles students need for handwriting.
Throughout the day, children work together as well as independently as they’re presented with activities that facilitate successful social and life skills. When you visit, you’ll hear the phrase “grace and courtesy.” This is more than manners: it’s all of the activities that facilitate successful social and life skills. Through grace and courtesy, Children’s House creates a child development environment where helping, caring and responsibility develop naturally and appropriately.
Our program also includes Spanish, Music, Art and Physical Education. T
