We use the FrogStreet curriculum in every classroom. FrogStreet is a research-based, comprehensive early childhood education program for infants through Pre-K that supports whole-child development by integrating social-emotional growth, language development, and academic foundations.

  • Structured Daily Learning: Consistent routines and Frog Street’s Brain Smart Start activities (Unite, Calm, Connect, Commit) help children build self-regulation skills, improve focus, and support positive classroom behavior.
