Educational Programs

A professionally trained teaching staff provides a well-rounded developmental program. BRDS utilizes the "Whole Language/Thematic" approach to Early Childhood Education. Each day, time is allotted for whole group activities, essential routines, and related services. BRDS's program provides a setting for learning in keeping each child's age and developmental stage, maturity, size, needs, and capabilities. This allows for a wide span of developmental levels, which exists in any group.

To provide such a setting, the approach to teaching is informal and yet individual. This includes a wide range of materials arranged into interest centers providing each child a variety of experiences and opportunities for freedom of choice. Each child is encouraged to discover and develop individual skills and interests while participating in the BRDS program.
