Curriculum

Our classes employ the Tools of the Mind (TOM) curriculum, a research-based program endorsed by the NJ Department of Education. The TOM curriculum was designed to enhance student growth in all areas of development, with a special emphasis on fostering self-regulation through the development of students’ attending, remembering, and thinking skills. Students follow a daily schedule which includes many purposeful activities and a structured environment designed to foster creativity, imagination, problem-solving, communication, meta-cognition, and the expansion of core understandings and skills. 

If you would like to know more about our Tools of the Mind curriculum—its history, philosophy, activities, staff training, related resources, or samples of play plans, please access the TOM website below:
