Don’t stress about creating the perfect environment for learning; learning can take place in all types of environments. Keep in mind the age of child(ren) and activities that your child(ren) have interests in. A couple of suggestion would be to create a quiet area (not a bedroom) that has books, pillow and other soft items for children to access on their own. Find a shelf that you can put items that your child(ren) can reach and engage in a child-led activity. Plan, if possible and change the items on the shelves to reflect daily activities.

Creative expression and sensory play are a major part of our toddler Discovering Me curriculum. Miss.Dianna & Miss.Gina’s room mixed different textured paints to create a frothy textured paint. This allowed the class to create artwork while engaging in sensory play. #kiddieacademystatenislandgreatkills #sensoryplay

A child learning his alphabet starts to recognize letters specifically the letter C, the first letter of his name at Kiddie Academy, at home and throughout his community as he goes through the day. Kiddie Academy's Life Essentials curriculum focuses on fusing education with fun to spark a passion for learning that accompanies children wherever they go, for the rest of their lives. #learnon
