Early Childhood CURRICULUM
|
The early childhood programs at AYA provide opportunities for children to develop their exploratory nature through creative challenges. The curriculum encourages children to be actively involved in the learning process, which balances child-initiated/teacher-initiated, active/quiet and indoor/outdoor activities. Learning centers allow children to choose from a variety of learning activities, which include building, drawing and dramatic play. In addition, by incorporating the teachings of Islam into our everyday curriculum and by involving parents in the programs, AYA can foster and nurture the Muslim identity of each family it touches.
The developmentally appropriate curriculum includes:
