Creative Curriculum
A popular teaching approach among a variety of private preschools and Head Start programs, it was developed in the late 1980s by an academic (who later formed the company Teaching Strategies) and is based on current information on how children develop and learn. Emphasis is placed on 4 developmental areas; social/emotional, cognitive, physical and language. We observe children’s interactions with their learning environment to assess skills, interests and abilities and come up with activities or learning experiences that encourage social, emotional and new skill development.
Field Trips
We go on as many field trips as we can. This is a highlight for the students every year. Some of our favorites are:
FIRE STATION, LIBRARY, FARM, BAKERY, DENTIST OFFICE, and the ZOO

This will be a great time for Mrs. Nina to get to know the students and answer any questions the students may have.

Before leaving for college I worked as a dental assistant in a Pediatric Dental Office. While in college I worked at Lollipops Daycare/Pre-school in Springville Utah. I graduated from UVU in 2012 with my Bachelor’s in Behavioral Science. I have since been raising my four beautiful daughters. We recently moved back to the United States after living in Spain for a year while my Husband finished his MBA.
I am committed to helping children learn to read, write, play, make friends and above all, have fun!
