Our Programs
Infants
This
program is designed for children birth through approximately 12 months
of age (could be older depending upon motor development). Child
Observation Record (COR) notes are taken and assessed to monitor
emerging developmental skills. COR notes are taken daily. Specific
play activities are designed for each infant according to the results
from the COR notes taken. A primary caregiver is assigned to every
four infants. This primary caregiver is responsible for the diapering,
feeding, cuddling and playtime of each infant. All staff receives
training appropriate for this age group.
Toddlers
This
program is for children 12 months approximately to 33 months. Child
Observation Record (COR) notes are taken and assessed to monitor
emerging developmental skills. COR notes are taken daily. Specific
play activities are designed from COR notes for individuals and groups
of toddlers to enhance and encourage their development through play. A
primary caregiver is assigned to every four toddlers. This primary
caregiver is responsible for the diapering, feeding, cuddling and
playtime of each toddler. Breakfast, lunch, and snack are provided for
toddlers except for Friday when children are asked to bring a bag
lunch. All staff receives appropriate training for this age.
Preschoolers
This
program is designed for three and four year olds. The High/Scope Model
of “plan, do, review” is used. Child Observation Record (COR) notes
are taken and assessed to monitor emerging academic skills. Large
group, small group and individual activities are planned.
Wrap-Around
This
program is designed to provide before and after school care for
children attending other preschool programs in the Hazel Park School
District. Bus transportation to/from all the ECDD Programs in the
district is provided. Except for Fridays, breakfast, lunch and snack
are provided. Children are asked to bring a bag lunch on Friday. All

Our Curriculum
We
wanted to give our parents some information about High/Scope which is
the curriculum we are modeling in each of our classrooms. High/Scope's
educational approach emphasizes “active participatory learning.”
Active learning means students have direct, hands-on experiences with
people, objects, events, and ideas. Children’s interests and choices
are at the heart of our High/Scope program. They construct their own
knowledge through interactions with the world and the people around
them. Children take the first step in the learning process by making
choices and following through on their plans and decisions. Caregivers
and parents offer physical, emotional, and intellectual support. In
active learning settings, adults expand children’s thinking with
diverse materials and nurturing interactions. High/Scope assesses
children’s development with comprehensive observations rather than
narrow tests, using the Preschool Child Observation Record (COR) and
Infant/Toddler Child Observation Record (COR). Observing a broad range
of behaviors over several weeks or months gives us a more accurate
picture of children’s true capabilities than tests administered in
one-time sessions. Using the content areas as a framework, teachers
record daily anecdotes describing what children do and say. Three times
a year, we review these anecdotes and rate each child at the highest
level he or she has demonstrated so far on 30 items for preschool and
28 for infants/toddlers in six areas of development: initiative, social
relations, creative representation, movement and music, language and
literacy, and logic and mathematics. Children’s COR scores help
teachers design learning opportunities tailored to their level of
development. The COR is also used to explain children’s progress to
parents during conferences. Instead of only giving parents abstract
scores, teachers share anecdotes illustrating what their children are
doing now and how they will continue to grow.
