Philosophy
Our curriculum is rooted in our Philosophy of Christian Education. In addition to our Christian heritage, we approach our curriculum with a modified Developmental Philosophy of Early Childhood Education. Essentially, this means that we believe in learning through play, and accordingly, play is a HUGE part of the day.
DRCCC offers a full range of programs for your child including age-specific curriculums for Infants, Toddlers, Two- and Three-Year-Olds, and Pre-Kindergarten children. All classes are grouped by age and are designed to be developmentally stimulating for all children.
Our child-centered curriculum combines teacher-guided activities with ample time for free choice, socialization, and play. We meet each child at his or her developmental level and strive to provide a stimulating, creative, and discovery-oriented environment where learning is achieved through play. We emphasize the whole child and value each child's unique traits.
On a daily basis your child will experience language arts, literature, early math concepts, creative art projects, dramatic play, as well as gross and fine motor activities. Please refer to the Daily Schedule to see a sample day at our school. This schedule will give you an idea of the content of our program and a general sequence of events.
