Our School Age
Distance Learning
(Kindergarten through grade 5)
Creative Kids has a well-planned child-oriented curriculum. We believe that curriculum development is an on-going process to meet the needs of your child. Each month themes are introduced in your child’s classroom and divided into specific weekly programs and daily activities. Our curriculum is based on the following learning objectives: physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. As your child advances through Creative Kids, the specific skills learned at each level serves as a foundation for learning at the next level.
