Curriculum

Pinnacle Curriculum: To provide the best learning experience for children, Laurel Oak Children's Center uses the Pinnacle Curriculum. The Pinnacle Curriculum is designed to meet the needs of children of all ages, focusing on all developmental areas of the child.

Creative Curriculum: As the field of early childhood education has evolved, so too has The Creative Curriculum by incorporating the latest research and best practices and taking the needs of every type of learner into account. The Creative Curriculum helps create a high-quality learning environment that enables every child to become a creative, confident thinker.

Daily Information Sheets: Daily information sheets will be provided for parents, describing the events of their child's day. Included will be approximate times of eating, napping, diapering and learning activities.

Private Area for Nursing: To make the child care process as comfortable as possible, a private area for nursing mothers to use anytime will be provided.
