"Play is the highest form of research." – Albert Einstein

We prioritize transparency and partnership with parents, maintaining an open-door policy that encourages parents to visit at any time during our operating hours. We believe open communication between parents and staff is vital to each child’s well-being and development. To keep you informed, our team provides daily updates on your child’s activities, either verbally or through 'Parent Communication' sheets. We also offer conferences upon request to discuss your child’s progress and address any specific needs or concerns.

 

We believe children are naturally curious and excited to learn, which is why we use two highly respected curricula to support and nurture their development.

 

Learn more about our approach below.

​

Creative Curriculum

At Niko's Playworld, we integrate the Creative Curriculum into our daily activities to inspire and engage your child’s interests. This theme-based curriculum is planned on a weekly basis and focuses on key areas of development:

​

  • Sensory awareness  

  • Creative and expressive arts

  • Dramatic play

  • Block building

  • Fine and gross motor skills

  • Language and reading skills 

  • Outdoor play

  • Music and movement

  • Science and discovery  

​​

These activities cultivates a sense of accomplishment, confidence, and cultural awareness in your child. The program encourages creativity and imagination through a variety of materials and mediums, allowing each child to explore their unique talents.

​

Our teachers are skilled in meeting the diverse needs of different age groups, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive.

STREAMin³ Curriculum

 

STREAMin³ is a comprehensive curriculum model for birth-to-five classrooms, seamlessly blending academic and social-emotional learning. As one of Virginia's leading early childhood models, this curriculum is designed to spark a lifelong love of learning. At Niko's, we apply STREAMin³ to inspire little minds to think big, solve problems, and embrace their unique identities and curiosity.
