OUR PROGRAMS
Age Groups
Infants
With infants, we follow a wonderful daily flow. No matter what your baby’s individual sleeping and eating schedule is, we always come together to make wonderful memories. We enjoy story time together, outside walks, learning circle, sensory exploration and creative art. We also enjoy our days learning lots of songs, reading wonderful stories and interacting with our friends and teachers. We love discovering different textures, size of items, and shapes. We love learning about our weekly themes like shapes, colors, animals and people. Our little ones are always nurtured, cuddled, loved and adored and whenever they need something, we are there!
Toddlers
This age group begins at 1 years old. With toddlers, we explore anything and everything we possibly can. Our little one’s love wondering around the classroom learning through their senses. Our toddlers have a wonderful daily schedule of group time, outdoor play, meals and snacks, naptime and the most important and fun time of the day, PLAYTIME! During our group time we read books about transportation, family and kindness. We talk about our day, how we feel and what it means to be together in our bright and warm classroom. We enjoy our outdoor playtime and seeing the beautiful nature outside. Our weekly themes consist of exploring our homes, families, pets and animals. Singing and playing our days away is what makes our room so special!
Older Toddler
This age group begins at 2 years old to 3 years old. Our older toddlers love to dance, sing and play. We inspire them to explore the world around them and learn something from everything. Socialization is very important to our older toddlers as the begin to share, use their manners and learn to take turns. In this age group we begin to count numbers and have letter recognition. We enjoy singing our daily songs to teach us about the day of the week, the month and the year. We love diving into our art projects and seeing what we can create with an abundance of materials. We enjoy watching our teachers do exciting science projects and love to watch the students guess what will happen and see their eyes full of surprise! Getting outside and playing on the playground is a part of our everyday schedule. We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood and putting a smile on our neighbors faces!
Preschool And Pre-K
This age group starts at 3 years old and prepares the students for Kindergarten. In this age group we focus on our social emotional growth and explore who we are as beautiful, unique individuals. We learn how to work together and how to conquer objectives by ourselves. We enjoy writing our names, learning to read and exploring phonics. We enjoy extreme science projects that make us say “WOW!” and we dive into our sensory bin which helps enhance the learning theme we are studying that week. We often have guest speakers and love exploring the community to supplement our learning. We get outside often to move our bodies and strengthen our fine and gross motor muscles. This age group helps to prepare our students for the next grade which is Kindergarten. Our little ones are well on their way to a successful journey into the older ages!

Our Curriculum
We use Gee Whiz curriculum. This is a research-based teaching curriculum supports children’s development and learning.
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
At Kids Cabin we provide our students with a developmentally appropriate curriculum that is based on North Carolina standards. NAEYC, which is the National Association for the Education of Young Children, defines developmentally appropriate curriculum as, “NAEYC defines “developmentally appropriate practice” as methods that promote each child’s optimal development and learning through a strengths-based, play-based approach to joyful, engaged learning.” We believe this to be the heart of our curriculum. Our weekly lesson plans are developed through our students interests and what grabs their attention. We love to study themes that get them excited, interested and progresses their natural cognitive development. We try our best to meet every child’s individual cognitive and development level and encourage and inspire
them to continue to progress this growth.
Language Development
Our developmentally appropriate experiences and activities, such as book reading, singing, art activities, games, and journaling represent meaningful learning opportunities which incorporate early literacy concepts and handwriting in various forms. Language development skills are
developed through exposure to letter-sound connections, combining those sounds into meaningful words, and putting words together into sentences to communicate our thoughts, feelings and ideas. Our language activities foster your child’s handwriting abilities, phonological awareness, vocabulary, alphabet letters knowledge, and narrative skills.
Cognitive Development : Science , Math And Social Studies
Cognitive development means how children explore, think, create answers and figure things out.
It is the development of knowledge, skills, and problem solving, which help children to think
about and understand the world around them.
Early math skills involve children learning the basic concepts of numbers, counting, simple addition and subtraction. We begin with learning how to count one by one using manipulative materials. We also learn how to recognize single and double-digit numbers, and once this skill is mastered, we learn how to add and subtract numbers. Visual representation is key as children learn how to build relationships between written numbers and represented items. Children also learn how to construct simple patterns and sort objects by color, shape, and size.
Science helps children develop and understanding of scientific concepts and develop inquiry
skills. Scientific development in young children consists of children using their senses in order to
observe, compare, measure, make predictions, classify, and construct hypotheses. Students are
born natural scientists. Students are eager and curious to explore the world around them. At Kids
Cabin our job is to nurture their scientific spirit and provide students with the opportunity to
enhance their scientific exploration experiences in and out of the classroom!
Social studies learning begins as children make friends and participate in decision-making in the
classroom. Then it moves beyond the school into the neighborhood and around the world. Here
at Kids Cabin we explore different cultures, places, foods, music and backgrounds of beautiful
people around the world. We take monthly virtual trips to different countries, where we interact
with people who share insight into their traditional customs and culture. We love exploring the
world and opening our eyes to the many different beautiful people and places on this planet!
