The early childhood years are the most important in a child’s brain development.
The Kids Quarters Nursery School curriculum is designed to enhance this process by stimulating and engaging children in a multiage structured setting that suits individual developmental and emotional needs.

At Kids Quarters, we as teachers spend time listening and interacting with students. This type of positive interaction encourages emotional development, language and communication skills, and a positive self-esteem. We also provide opportunities for each child to develop personal interests, at his or her own pace. To ensure that children are kept interested, excited and engaged in learning, we have incorporated age appropriate curriculums that fit the needs of your child.

Parents are respected and supported as partners with teachers in the education and development of their child. Parent feedback is welcomed and encourage, as it allows teachers to get a clear understanding of each child’s needs.

The Nursery School curriculum is based on the Rhode Island Early Learning Standards. The standards provide guidance to teachers on what children should know and be able to do as they enter kindergarten. They are implemented in early childhood programs serving children age’s three to five. The standards are divided into 8 domains, in which each child may meet the Early Learning Standards at different times and in different ways.

The domains are as follows:

1. Approaches to Learning
2. Social and Emotional Development
3. Language Development and Communication
4. Literacy
5. Mathematics
6. Science
7. Creativity
8. Physical Health and Development

The teachers incorporate the 8 learning domains into a curriculum designed for each child to have fun, and yet be challenged in a learning environment that readies them for kindergarten. Children will learn in an environment where their physical and psychological needs are met so they feel safe, valued as unique individuals and engaged actively in acquiring new skills and knowledge.
