Curriculum 
​
 At Ridge Kids Academy, Inc. we use The Creative Curriculum  The Creative Curriculum is a teacher-directed method with developmentally appropriate goals and objectives for our students. There are four main categories of interest; social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and language. The Creative Curriculum assists well-trained teachers in creating an environment for children that promotes active learning through play while encouraging children's language, cognitive learning, curiosity, persistence, creativity, problem-solving, and promotes independence. Teachers and children are active partners in the educational experience. Teachers work in partnership with parents and other family members to nurture children's education. Our educators provide information about the curriculum, discuss progress, and share ideas for extending classroom learning in the home.
