Providing a solid foundation for good citizenship
Character education is one of the fundamental principles at Kiddie Academy® Educational Child Care, and it begins with our youngest learners. Character Essentials® offers specific support for the social and emotional development of children beginning in infancy. This curriculum reinforces our commitment to the development of the whole child.
Our talented educators are trained to weave in social emotional learning strategies throughout the day and in their interactions with children. Each educator is a role model for character education and every interaction provides an opportunity to model behaviors and traits for the children. By developing nurturing and supportive relationships with adults at this stage, young children learn about themselves and how to form relationships with others.
Character Essentials is also designed to make learning fun through activities that include:
• Enrichment Activities
• Character Moments
• Role-playing Scenarios
• Songs
• Fingerplays
• Entertaining Literature
The curriculum also introduces and uses American Sign Language for nonverbal children and can sprinkle in words in Spanish to give educators plenty of opportunities to build language skills.
Activities are tailored to the developmental level and interests of children in each age group. We also provide information on how to connect the lessons to the community outside the Academy and at home so that the learning never stops!
