The programs at Children of The Woodlands have been designed to promote the development of the whole child. Our curriculum is developed through teacher observations and evaluation of each child. Concepts and skills are introduced which are appropriate to each child’s stage of development and which reinforce social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cognitive growth.  Our programs provide part day learning opportunities for children ages 18 months through Kindergarten.  All of our classes participate in our Music and Motor program and Chapel.

We believe that a major determinant of the quality of an early childhood program is the degree to which the program is developmentally appropriate. Teaching strategies in such a program are based on how children learn. Child development theorist, Jean Piaget, demonstrated that learning results from the interaction of a child’s own thinking and his /her experiences in the external world. With this understanding, the role of the teacher is that of a facilitator or guide. The teacher creates a rich classroom environment that stimulates and challenges children. She then closely observes to see what children understand and then poses additional challenges to push their thinking further. Through this observation, teachers learn what motivates the children and uses this knowledge to create and environment where children question, investigate, experiment and invent. In other words, the children learn by doing. Learning information in a meaningful context is the goal in a developmentally appropriate program.
