CURRICULUM
Our child-encouraged curriculum creates a respectful, social environment that stimulates the creative spirit, enriches language, and encourages
exploration and independence.
Children have an opportunity to paint, draw, sculpt, glue and experiment with a variety of media which focuses on the creative process while acquiring skills.
Children play in large and small groups, which develops their ability to cooperate and collaborate with others.
MishMash’s basic curriculum will be drawn from the children’s interests and ideas shared in our classroom. All children will participate in arts and crafts at our table, which promotes teamwork, a social atmosphere, communication, stimulates friendships and gives a sense of belonging.
MishMash also bases our literacy and language portion of our curriculum around music and movement. Music is an excellent tool for children, as it develops neural pathways in the brain that can assist reading, writing, and language skills in these crucial early learning years. Our Music For Young Children (MYC) classes will create a comfortable and fun learning environment for students to build these skill sets and improve such things as cognitive functioning, motor skills, emotional development, behavior and social skills. Along with the knowledge of following and understand the concepts and rules of reading music which is the same fundamentals of following and understand the concepts of language and literacy.
