Welcome to Evergreen Early Years, where our innovative and comprehensive curriculum is designed to nurture and inspire young minds. We blend the best of the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches with a fully accredited US early years structured curriculum, ensuring a holistic and enriching learning experience for every child.

Montessori Method: Fostering Independence and Natural Curiosity

At Evergreen Early Years, we embrace the Montessori method to cultivate each child's natural curiosity and love for learning. This approach is centered around the following principles:

Child-Centered Learning: Each child is recognized as a unique individual with their own interests and pace of learning. Our classrooms are designed to allow children to choose activities that resonate with their personal interests, fostering a sense of independence and self-motivation.

Hands-On Experience: Montessori education emphasizes learning through hands-on experiences. Our classrooms are equipped with a variety of carefully curated materials that encourage exploration and discovery.

Mixed-Age Classrooms: Children of different ages learn together, promoting a sense of community and allowing younger children to learn from older peers while older children reinforce their knowledge by teaching concepts they have mastered.

Trained Guides: Our teachers are trained Montessori guides who facilitate learning by creating a prepared environment that supports each child's developmental needs and encourages them to reach their full potential.

Reggio Emilia Approach: Encouraging Creativity and Collaborative Learning

The Reggio Emilia approach is another cornerstone of our curriculum, emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and the importance of the child's voice in the learning process:

Emergent Curriculum: Learning experiences are based on the interests and ideas of the children. Teachers observe and document these interests to plan activities that are meaningful and engaging.

Project-Based Learning: Children engage in long-term projects that allow them to explore topics in depth. This approach encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration. Environment as the Third

Teacher: Our learning spaces are thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity and exploration. The environment itself plays a crucial role in the educational process, providing opportunities for children to engage with their surroundings.

Documentation: Teachers document the children's learning experiences through photographs, videos, and written observations. This documentation is shared with families and used to reflect on and plan future learning experiences.

US Early Years Structured Curriculum: Building a Strong Foundation

In addition to the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, Evergreen Early Years implements a fully accredited US early years structured curriculum. This curriculum provides a solid academic foundation, ensuring that our students are well-prepared for future educational success:

Developmentally Appropriate Practices: Our structured curriculum is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children, offering a balanced approach to literacy, numeracy, science, and social studies.

Standards-Based Learning: We adhere to rigorous educational standards, ensuring that our students achieve key developmental milestones and are ready for the next stage of their educational journey.

Comprehensive Skill Development: Our curriculum encompasses a wide range of skills, including cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and creative development, providing a well-rounded education for every child.

At Evergreen Early Years, we believe that combining these three approaches creates a dynamic and enriching learning environment. Our curriculum is designed to nurture each child's unique abilities, foster a love for learning, and prepare them for a bright future.
