Mashpee Creative Childrens Center

Overview

Mashpee Creative Children's Center is a small preschool program serving young children; the program has been operating since 1987 and enrolls children in the roughly 3–6 year age range.

Curriculum and approach

Instruction is based on a play-centered, child-directed philosophy combined with teacher-planned experiences. The curriculum uses theme-based units and balances free-choice play with structured large- and small-group activities to support learning across developmental domains.

Learning goals

Social development: opportunities to practice cooperation, turn-taking and peer interaction.
Emotional development: activities to help children identify feelings, build confidence and express themselves through art, music and play.
Cognitive development: hands-on investigation, problem solving and teacher-facilitated lessons to encourage curiosity and reasoning.
Physical development: planned activities and materials to develop gross- and fine-motor skills.

Staff and facilities

Teaching staff include individuals with post-secondary degrees and experience in early childhood education and related fields. Classrooms are arranged on multiple levels within the facility and are equipped with manipulative materials, block and sensory areas, and other resources to support hands-on learning.
