GBC ACADEMY PROGRAM
Creative Curriculum at GBC Academy
At GBC Academy, we believe that every child is a unique individual with their own interests, strengths, and learning styles. That’s why we utilize the Creative Curriculum—a research-based and developmentally appropriate approach to early childhood education designed to engage and inspire young learners. This curriculum fosters a love of learning and supports the development of critical skills through hands-on, play-based experiences.
Key Features of Our Creative Curriculum:
Child-Centered Learning: The Creative Curriculum focuses on the child as the central part of the learning process. We design our activities and lessons based on the individual needs, interests, and developmental levels of each child. Our educators observe, listen, and respond to the children’s curiosity, which allows us to create meaningful learning experiences that resonate with them.
Holistic Development: We recognize that children grow and learn in many different ways—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. The Creative Curriculum emphasizes a holistic approach to development, ensuring that children build foundational skills across all areas. Our activities promote language development, problem-solving, creativity, social skills, and fine and gross motor skills, all while encouraging positive self-expression and emotional growth.
Hands-On Exploration: Play is essential to learning at GBC Academy. The Creative Curriculum encourages learning through exploration and discovery, where children actively engage with their environment. Through hands-on activities, arts and crafts, sensory play, and outdoor exploration, children have the freedom to explore concepts in a way that is natural and enjoyable. This approach allows them to connect what they are learning to the world around them.
Focus on Relationships: The Creative Curriculum stresses the importance of building strong relationships with peers and adults. Our educators create an environment of trust and respect, where children feel safe to ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate with others. Social-emotional development is key to the curriculum, helping children learn how to communicate, express their feelings, and build lasting friendships.
Intentional Teaching: Our teachers are skilled in using intentional teaching strategies to foster critical thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving. By carefully planning and guiding activities, our educators provide opportunities for children to make connections, experiment, and develop new skills. We understand that learning is not a one-size-fits-all approach, so we adapt the curriculum to best suit each child’s learning needs and preferences.
Literacy and Numeracy Skills: Early literacy and numeracy are a cornerstone of the Creative Curriculum. Through stories, songs, rhymes, and daily interactions, children are introduced to key language and math concepts in fun and engaging ways. Whether through reading aloud, building with blocks, or playing number games, children gain a strong foundation for future academic success.
Family Engagement: The Creative Curriculum also encourages strong family involvement. We recognize that parents and caregivers are a child’s first and most important teachers. By building open communication with families, we ensure that learning extends beyond the classroom, fostering a supportive partnership between home and school.
Why Choose the Creative Curriculum?
The Creative Curriculum is designed to help children develop a strong foundation for lifelong learning. It aligns with best practices in early childhood education and is supported by decades of research on how children learn and grow. At GBC Academy, we use this curriculum to ensure that each child has the opportunity to explore, discover, and thrive in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. By fostering a love of learning from an early age, we prepare children for success not just in school, but in life.
