Curriculum

Little Steps of Joy Academy will evaluate and track each child’s individual development during their time at Little Steps of Joy Academy. It is an ongoing assessment system, meaning that teachers are continually watching, observing, and documenting each child’s development. The same tool is used from birth through preschool, to allow a more complete picture of your child’s development. By tracking a child’s development, our staff is able to plan activities that are appropriate for each child’s developmental abilities.

Daily Schedule and Activities

Our staff works cooperatively to create a daily schedule and plan activities that meet each child’s developmental abilities and needs. The daily schedule and activities create a balance between active and quiet times; large and small group, and individual activities; small and large muscle activities; indoor and outdoor play times; as well as times for selfselection and teacherdirected activities. 

Consistency from
daytoday is particularly important to the overall wellbeing of the children and classroom environment. Children thrive on consistency! Routines will be maintained whenever possible for arrivals and departures; meals and snacks; resting or nap times; personal care routines like diapering/toileting and hand washing; and transitions. Parent notifications will be provided through the Brightwheel app.
