CNAP Curriculum.
We utilize the Creative Curriculum, which is a research-based, developmentally appropriate curriculum that guides how the environment is set up as well as the types of play and experiences in which the children need to engage. The curriculum also outlines the objectives for learning and development for children from birth through Kindergarten. It is a comprehensive curriculum that is rooted in constructivism, which is sometimes referred to as learning through play.
Interest Areas of the Curriculum
The 10 Interest Areas are as follows: Blocks, Dramatic Play, Toys & Games, Art, Library, Discovery, Sand & Water, Music & Movement, Cooking and Outdoor Play.

In 2018, we entered into a partnership with Parents as Teachers for annual assessment of all children in the program. Parents as Teachers utilizes the Ages and Stages screening for infants, toddlers and 2-year olds and the DIAL-4 screening for Preschoolers.
