Natural sense of wonder and curiosity…

The first five years of a child’s life are fundamentally important for brain development, with the first three years being the most critical in the shaping of brain architecture.  During the first five years children are destined to learn due to their natural sense of wonder and curiosity. This wonder and curiosity, encourage children to explore, investigate, and play. Transformations Early Learning and Development Center (“TELDC”) capitalizes on this and uses it to offer its very own unique and developmentally appropriate curriculum. Our curriculum caters to that brain’s development by offering the following programming: infants, toddlers and twos: Beginning to Transform™ and preschoolers and B4K: The Transformed Child™. 

At Transformations Early Learning and Development Center (TELDC), the focus of our program is on the development of the whole child. TELDC’s curriculum focuses on developing a child’s social-emotional, cognitive, physical, and language skills with age appropriate activities and play. The curriculum will allow opportunities for individual and group participation; a balance between self-selected and staff directed activities and a balance between active and quiet periods. Children will enjoy Arts and Crafts, Music and Movement, Indoor and Outdoor Recreation, Culinary Arts, and much more.

To achieve this, the Beginning to Transform™ and The Transformed Child™ curricula embrace the guidelines recommended by Maryland Model for School Readiness and Healthy Beginnings and align with Maryland State Department of Education approved curriculum standards and Maryland Early Learning Standards for children birth through kindergarten. Our program utilizes The Creative Curriculum/The Investigators Club and The Kindness Curriculum to guide learning and reach developmental milestones. Along with the curriculum, TELDC will combine Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment Toolkit to assess children’s development and learning. These curricula also follow the guidelines for developmentally appropriate practices set forth by the national accrediting associations.
