Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is formulated to engage your child’s natural curiosity. Each teacher provides developmentally-appropriate learning opportunities to encourage your child to be confident, successful, life-long learners. As you know, the first five years are critical to your child’s intellectual growth and development. 

Our curriculum is designed around the latest findings in early brain development research. To ensure that every child is engaging in appropriate learning experiences and to provide program continuity, we've adopted the Frog Street Continuum for each class at Howell Branch Academy. 

As children grow, their needs change. Implementing the Frog Street Continuum means our curriculum meets the specific needs of every stage of development from birth to age five. As children progress from one class to the next they experience developmentally appropriate learning activities that build on previously mastered skills so they can achieve new skills in a seamless and continuous way.

Preparing your child to succeed in school and in life is the core of our curriculum. Frog Street early learning programs place a special emphasis on social and emotional development through the implementation of Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline®. Children build trust, form healthy attachments, and develop impulse control. As children practice daily rituals that invite them to unite, calm, connect, and commit, they are laying the foundation for invaluable life skills such as emotional self-regulation and resilience!
