Community Day Care Lawrence, Massachusetts-About Us

Infant/Toddler Classrooms and Family Provider Homes
Research-based Creative Curriculum^® guides the practice of family child care providers and infant/toddler teachers. The program provides a framework for creating environments that move and flow with children’s developing interests and changing needs. Children learn about themselves and the world around them and are encouraged to feel capable as learners; teacher-caregivers are guided through a process of observing and monitoring the healthy development of children.

Preschool Classrooms
Preschool classrooms implement the Success for All Foundation’s Curiosity Corner^® curriculum. This research-based, developmentally appropriate program stimulates children and engages them in learning. Curiosity Corner^® promotes development of the whole child; active, integrated experiences enhance children’s language and literacy as well as their cognitive, mathematical, social, personal, creative, and physical development.

School Age Program
In addition to working with the Lawrence Public Schools to extend learning for our students and offering educational activities and homework help, our school age program implements Junior Achievement^® curriculums. Junior Achievement’s purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy; the organization is dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
