Inspiring Curiosity, Confidence & a Love for Learning

Curriculum at C4D Kidz in Smyrna, DE

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.
