Curriculum & Early Education

Based on Developmentally Appropriate Practices, our educational program starts in the infant room, is included with normal tuition for all children, and progresses with each child into our PreK 4 classroom. Our primary aim is to ensure that all children are ready for Kindergarten as defined by the standards set forth by the LA Dept. of Education.

Our Educational Program & Curriculum promotes healthy development of the whole child, including the five developmental domains.

  • Social – Refers mostly to the ability to form attachments, play with others, co-operation and sharing, and being able to create lasting relationships with others.
  • Physical – Development of Fine (small) and Gross (large) Motor Skills.
  • Intellectual – The process of making sense of the world around them.
  • Creative – The development of special abilities creating talents. Music, Art, Writing, Reading, and Singing are all ways for creative development to take place.
  • Emotional – Development of self-awareness, self-confidence, and coping with feelings as well as understanding them.

We begin with a consistent schedule and routine throughout each day, relative to the child’s age and developmental level. This routine will allow for a structured environment and predictability on behalf of our learners allowing each of them to feel safe, secure, and loved. Establishing the feeling of love and security better enables the whole child to learn and develop.

During the course of each day, our learners will experience an abundance of educational activities and lessons strategically prepared by staff which stimulate and encourage active learning during what is perceived to be play. Lessons and activities are planned in accordance with each child’s culture, strengths, interests, and abilities.

Some places become more than just a building. They become part of your family’s story. ❤️ Twenty-five years ago, Wyatt Graves began his journey in childcare with one facility called Planet Preschool. The names have changed. The buildings have changed. Kids grew up. New families walked through the doors. And eventually, that journey led here, to Fundamentals Early Learning Center in Central. But one of the things we’re most proud of isn’t something you can see in these pictures -- it’s the people who stay. Teachers who have spent years loving and teaching our kids. Families who trusted us with their first child and came back with their second... and sometimes their third. Former students who are teenagers now and still stop by a place that was such a big part of their childhood. That’s the kind of history you can’t manufacture. And this month, we want to celebrate the people who made it. If Fundamentals, Child Pros or Planet Preschool has been part of your family’s story, tell us your favorite memory below. Bonus points if you have an old photo to share—we’d LOVE to see those.
October is officially our 25-year celebration month, and we’re celebrating by welcoming some new families to Fundamentals. 💛 If you’ve been looking for an early learning center for your little one, October is a great time to come see what we’re all about. Enroll your child, ages 1–4, at Fundamentals during the month of October and receive a $500 tuition credit. That’s $500 toward tuition just for joining our Fundamentals family this month.
