C4D Kidz Curriculum
Inspiring Curiosity, Confidence & a Love for Learning
At C4D Kidz Childcare & Learning Center in Smyrna, DE, we believe that children learn best when they are happy, engaged, and encouraged to explore. Our curriculum nurtures the whole child, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, while providing the structure they need to thrive.
A Creative, Research-Based Approach
Our teachers use The Creative Curriculum, a nationally recognized, research-driven framework grounded in the work of early education pioneers such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and Lucy Sprague Mitchell.
This approach promotes hands-on, child-led learning and encourages children to think critically, express creativity, and develop independence. Every day, we design experiences that build curiosity and confidence while honoring each child’s unique pace and personality. Our programs include:
Hands-on exploration and discovery
Early literacy and math skill development
Building independence and problem-solving
Communication and cooperation with peers
Kindergarten readiness activities
All of our programs align with Delaware’s Early Learning Foundations and are led by certified early childhood educators who receive ongoing professional development.
Our Early Learning Programs
At C4D Kidz, our classrooms are designed to grow with your child, meeting them where they are and helping them reach their next milestones with joy and confidence.
Infant Program (6 Weeks to 24 Months)
Infants are discovering the world through touch, sound, and movement. Our nurturing caregivers provide a secure, loving environment that helps babies adjust to care outside the home while building trust, confidence, and early developmental skills through play and gentle routines.
Two-Year-Old Program
Two-year-olds are full of energy and curiosity. Our classrooms promote social-emotional growth, independence, and early cooperation through sensory play with materials like sand, water, and clay. Teachers model empathy, patience, and teamwork while encouraging each child’s sense of self.
Three-Year-Old Program
Three-year-olds begin forming friendships and exploring the world around them with intention. We use stories, songs, art, and imaginative play to support social skills and introduce early academic concepts like letters, numbers, and colors in meaningful, play-based ways.
Four-Year-Old Program
Our four-year-olds are preparing for kindergarten and developing a love for learning that will last a lifetime. Teachers weave early writing, math, and critical thinking into hands-on investigations while encouraging independence, problem-solving, and collaboration.
