DUCKLINGS

CURRICULUM

Our center is dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children to grow, learn, and develop to their fullest potential.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to engage our Ducks in a wide range of activities that foster their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development, as well as the individual attention they need to continue to grow and learn at their own pace.

Learning, Having Fun
and Growing Every Day!

Ducklings has created our unique Here We Grow™ curriculum, composed of the perfect combination of multiple recognized schools of thought, blended with our degreed teachers’ creative ideas. Carefully planned and driven by the children, our approach incorporates the latest research and best practices, while taking into account the needs of every type of learner.
