Family Center Infant & Toddler Program
Curriculum
Our "5C Curriculum Framework" combines carefully framed intentional learning objectives with the spontaneity that emerges from children’s active exploration of their physical world. The curriculum was designed by the Mailman Segal Center’s acclaimed team of early childhood educators and specialists who use research and evaluation to guide implementation.A rich variety of activities and experiences excite, invite, and encourage children to become competent in each of the areas within the "5C" framework.
5C Curriculum Framework
- critical thinking, the development of problem solving strategies and the acquisition of readiness skills
- creative expression, which encompasses divergent thinking, flexibility, and originality
- cooperation, the development of empathy and emerging social skills
- concept development, the acquisition of knowledge and basic principles related to the social and physical environment

Creative art, music, movement, dramatic play, problem-solving, scientific exploration, math, and literacy activities are an integral part of every child’s day. Activities and learning opportunities are responsive to each child’s unique styles and interests.
