Building Kidz of Palo Alto has age-appropriate classrooms for infant care, toddler care, and preschoolers. The infant program focuses on discovering senses, exploring surroundings, nurturing development, celebrating milestones, one-on-one interactions, age-appropriate books for speech and language development, finger painting, music, and pretend play to support perceptual motor development. The toddler program uses a scaffolded approach to learning with an enriched curriculum that focuses on language development using pictures, books, basic academics, circle time, story time, art, curriculum projects, and sensory activities to develop fine motor skills. The preschool curriculum introduces language, math, science, and social skills in a way that encourages learning at the child’s own pace. Local schools in this network integrate the arts into pre-kindergarten learning and after-school learning with a focus on emotional, social, cognitive, physical, communication, and academic development, and the after-school program includes homework, social time with peers, group projects, robotics, sculpting, and performing arts.
The program operates in an 11,000 sq. ft eco-friendly facility with an indoor and outdoor playground. Monthly meal plans with nutrient-dense choices are provided daily. Schools in this network are sanitized daily and follow comprehensive safety protocols. The program uses age-appropriate educational materials for kinesthetic, audial, visual, and touch learners.
