Description/Philosophy: |
 |
|
HeadsUp!® Child Development Centers follow an eclectic
approach to early learning, borrowing from the best
model programs and making use of the most recent
educational research. The infant and toddler programs
are based on the innovative HeadsUp!® Approach, which
makes use of play and learning games to help lay the
necessary foundation of all future learning. The
preschool program is a modified Montessori curriculum
incorporating art, music, and imaginative play into the
traditional emphasis on practical life, sensorial,
language, mathematics, science, and cultural activities. |

Additional
Information: |
The HeadsUp! approach is based on years of research that
confirms that:
-The first four years of life are the most critical with
respect to the child’s level of intellectual
functioning, motivation, and personality.
-Structured early learning experiences are more
effective for development than random discoveries.
-Early learning Programs are more effective when parents
are involved.
-Children learn through play.
These findings led to the development of the curriculum
embodied in the HeadsUp! Child Development Centers. They
are also the reason that parent involvement is such an
important component of a HeadsUp! Child Development
Center.
HeadsUp! Centers are also located in San Jose and Palo
Alto.
