Curriculum Framework

Learning

 

At Bullfrogs and Butterflies school, we have built a curriculum framework using “Virginia Foundations for Child Development” with a creative theme-based  approach. Combining these two will encourage children to meet milestones and build that strong foundation for future learning. 

​

​

Teacher as Mentor

 

Teachers work closely with the children, listening to their interests and ideas, and providing guidance and experiential learning activities. This is mostly project-based and child-led, which teachers supported and expanded on using theme of the month. Our teachers are also extremely attentive to social-emotional issues to prepare children for the start of private or public school ages.

Following Your Child's Progress

 

When you enroll your child(ren), we assume the responsibility of assisting you with individual concerns in relation to your child’s transition, growth, and development. It takes a village to raise a child, and we need to support one another. For your child to be happy and feel safe, it is necessary for care providers and parents to maintain strong communication relations.


To facilitate communication between Bullfrogs and Butterflies and home, you are invited to use our open-door policy. We encourage this communication between custodial parents and staff at Bullfrogs and Butterflies. We invite custodial parents to stop in any time. ​

What Our Curriculum Fosters

Our well-trained, enthusiastic, and heartfelt staff make themselves aware of individual children’s needs. Bullfrogs and Butterflie's strengths are based on the belief that a strong sense of self and a willingness to accept challenges are essential to the children’s success.

​

In an atmosphere of affection and mutual respect, each child is encouraged to learn and achieve his/her full potential. We believe that children who are challenged to set high but realistic standards for themselves and are encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions and the well-being of others will become successful and responsible people.

​

In other words, we're raising children to become:

​
