  • At First Avenue KinderCare Learning Center we are passionate about our kids!

    We believeand practicethe "Whole Child" approach to early learning. We focus on all areas of development, and all curriculum is designedaround the 6 Early LearningDomains:

    1.Cognitive Development- This is linked to children's ability to acquire knowledge by thinking about,coming to understand,and interacting with the world around them.

    2.Creative expression- This addresses children's interests in the arts and their desire and ability to express themselves creatively.

    3.Executive Function- Focuses on the development of self-regulation,attention and persistence,as well as general dispostitions toward learning.

    4.Language and Literacy Development- Involves children's abilities to convey their ideas,thoughts,and feelings through speaking and writing,as well as their ability to demonstrate early reading skills.

    6.Social and Emotional development-Has to do with children's ability to express and regulate their feelings and develop relationships with others.

    Children learn through play,itis the "work" of children. They learn and grow from everything they see, touch or hear, and the best part of all is they are having fun doing it! It is our job to set up our environment to make the most of that.
