Our Classroom

All three year old classrooms are set up with unique learning centers that encourage children to be self-sufficient while fostering an understanding of basic concepts. Our child-centered room arrangement allows children to move freely from one interest center to the next, giving them the opportunity to make plans and choices in their environment

Curriculum

We choose broad themes to explore that allow each classroom to individualize their study based on the teacher and children’s interests and questions. A study of animals for example, in one room may center on animals at the zoo while another classroom may focus on pets and how to care for animals in your home.Β  This type of individualization allows teachers to modify curriculum and build on what is exciting to their group.

A Day in the Life

We believe in a balanced day for your child. We create the perfect mix between quiet and active times, large and small group learning, child initiated activities and teacher facilitated activities to create a day full of learning and fun!

Meals & Snacks

Children who are with us all day enjoy daily, nutritious snacks and meals. Besides a balanced meal, we also focus on table manners, independence and good eating habits.

Circle Time

Every day we gather together and share stories, talk about our day and plan our learning journey. Being together allows us to get to know our friends, sing songs and play learning games. We assign helpers for the day, give a weather report and take a look at our calendar.

πŸŽ‰βœ¨ 6.58… AND WE’RE STILL CELEBRATING! βœ¨πŸŽ‰

There are some moments as an educator that make you stop and say, β€œWOW. Look at what you’re doing.” And this is one of them. πŸ₯ΉπŸ’š

Gabby & Shelby earned a 6.58 on their CLASS observation! πŸ‘πŸ‘

That number represents so much more than a score. It represents the little moments that happen all day long β€” the conversations, the encouragement, the curiosity, the laughter, the questions, the patience, and the intentional ways they help their children learn and grow. 🌱🧠❀️

It represents teachers who aren’t just in the classroom… but are truly present WITH their children.

And at Fundamentals, that’s something worth celebrating! 🌈

Gabby & Shelby β€” we see your hard work, we see your dedication, and we see the impact you’re making.

⭐️ 6.58 is a BIG deal.
πŸ’š YOU are a BIG deal.
πŸŽ‰ And we are incredibly proud of you!

Keep shining, ladies! πŸŒŸπŸ‘

πŸŽ‰πŸŒˆ WHAT DOES A 6.03 CLASS SCORE MEAN?πŸŒˆπŸŽ‰

We are SO excited to celebrate Davionne & Makayla and their incredible 6.03 CLASS Observation Score! πŸ’™πŸ’›

But what exactly is a CLASS observation? πŸ‘€

CLASS stands for Classroom Assessment Scoring System. It is a tool used to look at the quality of teacher-child interactions in the classroom. Rather than simply looking at what is happening in the classroom, CLASS focuses on how teachers interact with and support children throughout the day. 🧠❀️

Observers look at things such as:
✨ How teachers build positive relationships with children
✨ How they support children’s emotional needs
✨ How they engage children in learning
✨ How they encourage children to think, communicate, and problem-solve
✨ How intentionally teachers create meaningful learning experiences

And that 6.03?! πŸ€©πŸ‘

CLASS scores are measured on a 1–7 scale, so a 6.03 represents a very strong level of teacher-child interaction and intentional teaching. It reflects the thought, preparation, consistency, and genuine care that Davionne & Makayla bring into their classroom every day. 🌟

A great CLASS score isn’t just a number β€” it’s evidence of the meaningful connections and learning experiences happening between teachers and children every day. πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•

We are incredibly proud of you, Davionne & Makayla! Your hard work matters, your interactions matter, and the impact you make on our children matters. πŸ’™πŸ’›

WAY TO GO, LADIES! πŸŽ‰ 6.03! ⭐️
