Curriculum Deep Dive & Educational Philosophy
Learning That Lays a Strong Foundation
At The Kid Connection, we see each child as a masterpiece—uniquely created by God with purpose and potential. We don’t just teach—we come alongside families to support the whole child: academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Foundational Literacy & Math
Students engage in rich, developmentally-appropriate instruction that builds early reading fluency, phonics, comprehension, number sense, and problem-solving skills—laying the groundwork for lifelong learning.
Social & Emotional Development
We prioritize kindness, self-regulation, and relationship-building. Teachers intentionally guide students in learning how to express emotions, solve conflicts peacefully, and grow in empathy—building Christ-like character from the inside out.
Hands-On Science & Social Studies
Through inquiry, exploration, and play, children discover the world around them—learning about God’s creation through experiments, simple investigations, and engaging lessons that connect to real life.
