Our curriculum

At Little Wiggles Daycare, we have created our own engaging curriculum designed to nurture the whole child — socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. Our program is built around monthly themes that make learning exciting and meaningful, while also teaching important foundational skills.

​

Children explore basic concepts such as:

  • Shapes, colors, letters, and numbers

  • Early math and science through hands-on play

  • Pre-writing and fine motor skill development

We also incorporate:

  • Spanish classes twice a week to introduce a second language and promote cultural awareness

  • Music, movement, and art activities to spark creativity

  • Outdoor play and gross motor activities for healthy physical development

​

Our approach ensures that children are learning through play-based experiences, fostering curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love for learning.

​

 This is all achieved through an environment of love, nurturing, creativity and happiness.

We have a variety of wonderful, fun and exciting activities for our children.  The children will have a variety of music, songs, and props to inspire movement & imagination. It will help in the development of motor skills and stimulate brain development. In addition it helps children further develop social skills like working in groups, taking turns, listening & following directions.
