Individualized Learning

Children learn best when their individual differences are taken into consideration.

Children learn at their own rate. At Cambridge, we support this educational concept with our curriculum and offer Individualized Learning. Through our program materials and through our classroom designs, we strive to create environments that allow children to work side by side while growing at their own rate toward their individualized goals.

Theme Learning

The Cambridge Schools are strongly committed to Thematic Learning. We believe that the thematic approach connects all areas of a child’s development and creates a deeper knowledge and understanding of developmental concepts. While materials within the theme are presented differently to challenge different age groups, all age groups focus on the same theme, creating a community of learners.

Language Arts

In Language Arts, children begin developing a basic love and understanding of books, and show a preference for their favorites. They begin to label people and items, and start to ask for things. Children are encouraged to follow one step directions, and are asked to answer questions with one word answers and gestures.

Math

During this year, children develop many new math skills. They begin to recognize colors and shapes, begin to understand positional words like up and down and begin to participate in activities involving cause and effect. Teachers create a classroom schedule which helps children predict daily routines.

Science and Social Studies

Science and Social Studies encourage children to delve into the world around them. They begin to explore bodies in space by finding body parts. They use tools to investigate objects and recognize that they can move the objects they find. Through Social Studies, children understand one word rules and express emotions about problems which are then labeled by their teachers.

Social Skills

Children develop social skills by showing pleasure and excitement when learning new things, asking for similar activities to be repeated and beginning to amuse themselves independently. Children consistently respond to adult interactions by smiling and through imitation.
