Scribbles Preschool Curriculum

At Scribbles, play is our favorite way to learn! While our kids are busy singing, dancing, building, imagining, and making new friends, they’re also growing in big ways. Thanks to our creative and caring teachers, every day is full of opportunities to explore important skills in language and literacy, math and measurement, motor development, art, science, and social-emotional growth. Check out the chart below for a closer look at what we’re learning.

Our curriculum is guided by the best practices recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Each classroom is thoughtfully designed to support age-appropriate developmental goals, brought to life through monthly themes, weekly lesson plans, and daily routines. Whether it’s a group storytime, a hands-on science experiment, or a quiet one-on-one moment with a teacher, our activities are tailored to different learning styles and interests—because we know every child is unique!
