CLC incorporates a combination of fundamental methods to build an emergent classroom, attaining a holistic learning environment, demonstrated by measurable academic and developmental assessments while maintaining daily program flexibility.
|
Developmental research adapted from VA Milestones of Development and VA Foundation Blocks cultivate classrooms that foster the unique emotional, physical, social, and intellectual facets of each student. With an interdisciplinary approach to all subjects, students learn to engage in education in an emotional and meaningful way.
|
The act of play is at the center of all lessons and scaffolding with other techniques, support students at their current level while nudging them to extend and build various skills. Teachers act as a partner to the child, encouraging development, problem-solving tactics, and conflict-resolution skills through hands-on activities and projects.

Educators
We pride ourselves as a team-focused, cooperative, and collaborative company.CLC preschool teachers and faculty members meet all state-mandated qualifications, completing a comprehensive background check, and an intensive orientation process, to further educate, train and prepare them to enter each program knowledgeable and able to successfully manage their classrooms.
As a CLC Preschool Teacher, students are taught the important elements of school life while maintaining their health, mental, and emotional development so they can easily transition into the next level of education. |
Curricula
Buttercups (16 months – 3 years)
Although Toddlers may not yet be communicating with words or have limited vocabularies, their behaviors, facial expressions, body language, and sounds tell us plenty. Throughout our curriculum, you will find adaptive activities to include emerging learners to meet each students’ learning needs and develop at their own rate. |
Fireflies (3 years – 6 years)
Working with Preschoolers, our goal is to provide opportunities for children to learn and grow. We strive to allow children to become independent thinkers and problem-solvers. We provide a quality, safe, and nurturing setting supplied with developmentally appropriate materials and flexible, yet predictable, schedule. Our curriculum allows for individuality and gives children ample time to complete their creations. |
Parent Engagement Tools
Positive Behavior Support
Each child is valued as a contribution to our education program and CLC ensures that children are treated with respect and dignity while the learning environment remains safe for all students and staff.When there is a need to manage the aggressive or violent behavior of students, there is a balance between maintaining an effective and safe learning environment for children and school staff.
|
When behaviors have been addressed, returning the student to the learning environment is paramount.CLC focuses on parent-teacher collaboration for each child’s personal success in their program, to help children learn appropriate emotional processing techniques and socially acceptable behaviors.
