The Power of the Web!

ParentsCentral An essential component of our curriculum is accurately assessing the development of the children in our classrooms and planning activities to meet their needs. To accomplish this, our program uses CreativeCurriculum.net PLUS, an online assessment, reporting, and planning system. This unique online tool helps us to follow your child’s progress, plan the curriculum, and communicate and collaborate with you.

ParentsCentral on the CreativeCurriculum.net PLUS website includes online access for parents, which enhances our ability to communicate with you and provides you with a look at your child’s ongoing development and our classroom activities.
