When you walk into Tesseract Schools early childhood and preschool classrooms, you feel the energy of young minds at work, eagerly discovering the joy of learning in a safe and supportive atmosphere.
Our integrated thematic curriculum is a balance of social and academic experiences enriched with music, physical education and Spanish, all taught by educators who are specialists.
Throughout each day the Responsive Classroom approach is incorporated into the curriculum as children greet one another, participate in group activities and make exciting choices in their learning environments in areas that include dramatic play, books, art, writing, blocks, technology, outdoors, sensory table, toys and games, science and discovery, and music and movement, keeping them motivated and engaged.
Jolly Phonics, a multimodal, multisensory phonics program, is also part of Tesseract’s early childhood curriculum. The magic of reading, writing and spelling is introduced to our youngest students through Jolly Phonics as students learn the letter-sounds in an enjoyable, interactive manner, supporting them as they each learn at their own pace.
In addition to Tesseracts rich curriculum, we also understand the importance of play. It is through play that children develop teamwork, problem solving, self-confidence and creativity, all of which are essential components to the cognitive, social and emotional well-being of children.
