Children will be helped to reach these goals through a flexible, yet secure, schedule of free play (inside and outside), planned group and individual activities, art, music, science, language development, number concepts, physical development, quiet periods, and snack and meal times.

Early childhood care and education should excite curiosity, stimulate creativity, expand intellectual and motor skills, create awareness, and help each child better understand him/herself and the world around him/her. This type of education happens everywhere, spontaneously and through planned activities.
