The EHS toddler classrooms follow The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos, which emphasizes the importance of the child-caregiver relationship. The Creative Curriculum emphasizes a classroom environment filled with responsive daily routines and meaningful, individualized experiences that nurture your child’s learning and development. In addition to daily routines, The Creative Curriculum supports the teachers every day as they engage the children in meaningful experiences, such as playing with toys, enjoying books and stories, creating art, and going outdoors. In each of these experiences, teachers observe what children do and select materials that match their growing abilities and interests.

The HS preschool classrooms use The Creative Curriculum for Preschool. It is based on 38 objectives for development and learning that focus on all the areas that are most important for school success: social-emotional, cognitive, math, literacy, physical, language, social studies, science and technology, and the arts. These objectives are built into every activity that happens in the classroom, which means that all day long, the teachers are helping children build skills and knowledge in these important areas.

Children are provided with the time, space, and materials to make their literacy discoveries. The staff respects and builds on the children’s home language skills while providing opportunities for them to learn English language skills. Multi-cultural books and materials are implemented into the daily lesson plan to reflect the diversity of the children. iPads, Kindle Fires, and computers are among the technological devices used in high school classrooms. All sites have age-appropriate outdoor play areas.
