PHILOSOPHY
Tiny Sprouts is based on the principles of developmentally appropriate practice (DAP). It emphasizes creating learning experiences that are suitable for a child's age, individual needs, and cultural background. Our program is designed to meet children where they are developmentally. Our approach is grounded in the following beliefs:
Stability: We provide a faith-based, safe, and loving environment where every child feels secure to explore, learn, and grow. This understanding that each "sprout" grows at their own pace and requires gentle support to flourish.
Holistic Growth: We are dedicated to the comprehensive development of each child—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively—ensuring balanced growth from their "tiny" beginnings.
Discovery: We create an environment that sparks wonder and encourages hands-on exploration, allowing children to learn actively and joyfully like sprouts reaching for the sun.
Patience & Perseverance: We understand that growth is a process, and we foster resilience and a positive attitude towards challenges, celebrating every small step forward.
CURRICULUM
Our program utilizes a thematic-based curriculum, where each lesson organizes learning around a central theme or topic. By centering our lessons on engaging topics, we make learning relevant and exciting for every child.
Children will actively engage in a variety of hands-on activities that promote holistic development across all key domains. This includes:
Social-Emotional Development: Fostering empathy, cooperation, and self-regulation through collaborative activities and group projects.
Physical Development: Enhancing gross and fine motor skills through purposeful play, which may include dancing, athletic skills, and intricate art projects.
Cognitive Development: Promoting problem-solving, critical thinking, and early literacy and numeracy skills by exploring the theme from different perspectives.
Language and Communication: Encouraging verbal expression, active listening, and early reading skills through discussions, storytelling, and shared reading experiences.
Creative Expression: Providing opportunities for art, music, and dramatic play that allow children to express their understanding of the theme in imaginative ways.
This integrated approach ensures that every child can explore, learn, and grow in a way that is both meaningful and developmentally appropriate.
