LEARNING DOMAINS:

​

1. Language Development - immersed in a language-rich environment                                                            essential for developing both receptive and                                                        expressive language skills.

2. Cognitive Development - activities that support cause-and-effect                                                               relationships and problem solving to develop                                                     foundational skills for lifelong learning.

3. Approaches toward Learning - Four approaches (communication, attention,                                                      persistence, curiosity) reside in and across                                                          all other domains.

4. Physical Development - fun physical challenges, action songs, and games                                               that builds coordination, balance, and muscle                                                     strength.

5. Social Development - build confidence, learn impulse control, and develop                                         social skills while caregivers build trusting                                                           relationships with children.
