Our Program
Niko's Playworld maintains an open-door policy, and parents are always welcome to drop in during the times that children are in our care! Open lines of communication between parents and Staff are essential to a child's well-being and development. Our staff will summarize the day's events regularly verbally and or with/ 'Parent Communication' sheets. Conferences may be arranged to discuss your child's progress and other topics that may need reviewing.
​
Children are inquisitive explorers and ready learners. We therefore use two respected curricula to guide their learning. See more below.
CREATIVE CURRICULUM
Niko's Playworld incorporates the Creative Curriculum into our daily activities that will challenge and nourish the children’s interests. This is a theme-based curriculum set up on a weekly basis. Areas in which we focus are:
-
Sensory awareness
-
Creative and expressive arts
-
Dramatic play
-
Block building
-
Fine and gross motor manipulations
-
Language and reading skills
-
Outdoor play
-
Music and movement
-
Science and discovery learning
These activities will allow your children to be successful and feel good about themselves, as well as and exposure to a variety of cultures. The program will also encourage creativity and imagination through the use of various materials and mediums.
Each age group has very different needs, and all of our teachers are experienced in handling these needs.
STREAMin³ CURRICULUM
STREAMin³ is a comprehensive curriculum model for birth-to-five classrooms that seamlessly blends a focus on academic and social-emotional learning. Considered one the leading early childhood models in Virginia, this curriculum is about sparking a love for learning. Niko's Playworld applies STREAMin³ for inspiring little minds to think big, be problem-solvers, and embrace their identities and curiosity,
