Nurturing Curiosity, Confidence, and Creativity!
At Wiggle & Wonder Learning Center, we believe that every child learns best through play. Our sensory-rich, play-based curriculum is designed to foster independence, self-confidence, and a love of learning in children ages 1-4 years old.
This curriculum is organized into thematic units that focus on different sensory experiences and motor skills. Each unit has a focus on fine motor skills (small muscle movements), gross motor skills (large muscle movements), sensory exploration (touch, taste, smell, sight, sound), and social-emotional development. It aims to build the foundational skills necessary for success in formal schooling while also encouraging independence and self-confidence.
Independence: Encourage children to make decisions and solve problems by providing age-appropriate tasks that promote self-help skills and autonomy.
Self-confidence: Use play-based activities to recognize and celebrate children’s efforts and achievements, fostering a positive self-image and sense of accomplishment.
Holistic Development: Support children's growth in all areas (cognitive, physical, emotional, and social) by offering well-rounded activities that encourage exploration and development.
Motor Skills: Promote both fine and gross motor skills through a variety of activities that require hand-eye coordination, balance, and physical movement.
Sensory Exploration: Engage children’s senses through interactive, hands-on experiences that stimulate sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell to enhance cognitive awareness.
