Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to nurture the whole child - socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively. It's more than just an academic experience; it's a vibrant, play-based journey that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We use a proprietary expanded bilingual curriculum paired with a PA state approved curriculum, GeeWhiz Education, alongside additional components to enhance social-emotional, cognitive, and language development.
Language and literacy are woven into every part of the day, from group storytime with rich vocabulary to meaningful conversations that develop communication skills. Math and science come alive through everyday playful problem solving. Our curriculum also includes music, art, and outdoor play, giving children opportunities to develop their gross motor skills and express themselves creatively.
At Cardan Education Center, learning is not rushed. It's guided by the belief that every child develops at their own pace and the process is just as important as the product. Our preschool students receive an experience that feels joyful, engaging, and deeply meaningful that will promote responsibility, independence, and structure.
