\n\t\tCurriculum\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Every child deserves the best possible start in life. At Big Hearts Little Hands, we take pride in being more than just a “daycare”, in providing quality early childhood education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The importance of early childhood education cannot be overstated. A significant part of critical brain development in children happens before they even start kindergarten. It impacts everything from school performance to lifelong social skills. Research shows that a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. There are five key areas children will benefit from by attending a quality preschool program: (1) improved social and emotional skills, (2) love of lifelong learning, (3) improved self-esteem and confidence, (4) foundation of critical STEM skills and (5) exposure to diversity.<\/p>\n\t\t

Communication<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Providing an environment where children grow their confidence and learn to express themselves in a variety of situations.<\/p>\n\t\t

Social and emotional<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Encourage children to develop an attitude of kindness, cooperation, courtesy and helpfulness towards others while developing self-confidence and independence.<\/p>\n\t\t

Literacy<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Encouraging children to link sounds and letters and begin to read and write. Children are exposed to a wide range of reading materials to ignite their interest.<\/p>\n\t\t

Mathematics<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Helping children with their counting skills, understanding numbers and simple addition and subtraction problems.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"PngItem_21685\"\n
