The Frog Street curriculum is an essential tool in early childhood education, designed to provide a comprehensive, research-based learning experience for young children. Rooted in the belief that early experiences shape the brain's architecture, Frog Street emphasizes the development of the whole child—cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Its thematic approach integrates key learning areas, such as literacy, math, science, and social studies, into engaging, age-appropriate activities that capture children's natural curiosity and love of learning. By building on themes that are relevant and exciting to young minds, the Frog Street curriculum fosters a positive, nurturing learning environment where children can explore, discover, and grow. This approach not only prepares children for future academic success but also instills a lifelong passion for learning, making it a cornerstone of quality early childhood education.
