The Joey Philosophy

PROGRAMS

The human brain has the greatest plasticity from birth through age six to accommodate a wide range of experiences, interactions, and environments. Thus, nurturing emerging social, emotional, cognitive, and language skills are critically important.

We, at Joey, are HUGE proponents of play being at the center of our curriculum. We believe that early childhood is not only a critical time for learning, but also a time for laughter, play and great fun! We encourage all types of play within the learning environment – dramatic, constructive, creative, physical, and cooperative play. We facilitate child-led activities and nudge them towards developing early foundational skills like critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration for making them future ready!

Toddlers (1.5-3 yrs)

Our young learners in the toddlers program thrive in nurturing environments where teachers stimulate their developing minds with educational toys and exciting physical and mental activities.

Pre-K (3-4 yrs)

Our pre-kindergartners are at an age where they develop a strong sense of curiosity about their world, and teachers encourage that curiosity as they facilitate immersive educational experiences. Learning through play is emphasized. The children participate in hands-on activities that impart basic concepts of literacy and numeracy.

K1 (4-5 yrs)

Our K1 program has a STEAM focused curriculum. Students learn how to work in a collaborative environment while continuing to build on their communication, social and problem-solving skills.

K2 (5-6 yrs)

Our K2 program builds on skills developed in the K1 program and puts our little graduates on the path of school-readiness. The program has activities designed to impart skills like independent reading, writing, numeracy and reasoning.
