The Four Pillars of Ducklings' Curriculum

At Ducklings Early Learning Center, we’re more than just a daycare; we’re a nurturing environment where young minds and hearts flourish. Our approach to childcare and early education is built on four foundational pillars: Mind, Body, Heart, and Family. Each pillar is integral to our mission to provide children with a quality preschool education while encouraging kids to be kids, ensuring a well-rounded development for every child in our care.

Cultivating Curious Minds

In the Mind pillar, our “Here We Grow!” curriculum is designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning. We use multi-sensory exploration and skill reinforcement that evolves with your child’s growth. Our teachers encourage imagination, shaping young minds into thinkers and innovators. We celebrate every success, big or small, instilling a lifelong passion for learning.

Loryn F., a parent at Ducklings, shares her family’s experience: “I can’t say enough good things about the experience my family has had with Ducklings. Both of my boys have thrived there, and I leave them each day knowing they are well taken care of. Each person on staff is kind and caring to my children. I couldn’t imagine my kids being anywhere else. Ducklings is like family to them and to us.”

Encouraging Active Bodies

Our Body pillar emphasizes the importance of physical activity. Each of our facilities has large gymnasiums and outdoor play areas, ensuring that movement and exercise are a fun part of every day. We offer a variety of extracurricular activities, including yoga, soccer, dance, and karate, to keep little bodies moving and grooving. This active lifestyle is not just about physical health; it’s about laying the foundation for a lifetime of well-being.

Nurturing Compassionate Hearts

In the Heart pillar, we focus on emotional and social development. We teach empathy, kindness, and cooperation through daily interactions and activities. Our approach includes lessons that build self-esteem and social skills, preparing children to navigate the world with confidence and compassion. Community engagement and charity initiatives instill a sense of responsibility and citizenship from a young age.

Strengthening Family Bonds

The Family pillar is about creating strong connections between home and school. We believe in keeping families involved and informed. We provide regular updates on your child’s progress, and our family events throughout the year provide opportunities for parents to engage with the Ducklings community.
At Ducklings Early Learning Center, we’re committed to nurturing every aspect of a child’s development. Our approach, centered around Mind, Body, Heart, and Family, provides a balanced, enriching environment where children can thrive, grow, and prepare for a bright future.
