Curriculum Ideas For Home | Young Scholars Academy

Little Hands. Big Imaginations. Learning that gets a little messy.

As a working parent you may feel guilt for not being as involved in their academics as you may have hoped. That’s alright! We’ve gone ahead and gathered some lessons that you can recreate a hope in just a few simple steps. Kids don’t need you to know everything, they just need you to be part of their lives!

Here at Young Scholars Academy, our curriculum is typically broken down into a couple different areas of academics. Each day, the goal is to focus on;

  • Math & Manipulatives
  • Creative Art
  • Science & Sensory
  • Social Studies
  • Phonics & Language Development
  • Fine & Gross Motor
  • Literacy & Comprehension
In a typical day you can find our Toddlers with paint in between their fingers and our preschoolers with paint everywhere else! Our Curriculum Coordinator oversees the overall goals of the building and makes plans and expectations of what to accomplish, and our teachers individualize lessons that fit their classroom best.

Fine Motor Skills

Grasping crayons, squeezing glue, using paintbrushes and manipulating materials strengthen little hands.

Creativity & Problem Solving

There isn’t always one “right” way to create. Children get to make choices, experiment and figure things out.

Language & Expression

Talking about colors, textures, ideas and their creations gives children another way to communicate.

Real classrooms. Real creativity. See what our Young Scholars have been making lately.

Tiny humans. BIG learning. 💙 Our infant and toddl Tiny humans. BIG learning. 💙

Our infant and toddler classrooms may look like lots of snuggles, play, giggles, and exploring—but there is so much development happening in these little moments.

From building secure relationships and learning to communicate to strengthening motor skills and discovering how the world works, the first few years matter. 🥹

At Young Scholars Academy, our infant and toddler programs in Colorado Springs are built around giving little ones a safe, loving place to learn, grow, explore, and be VERY little. 💙

Because childcare shouldn’t just be somewhere they spend the day—it should be somewhere they thrive.

Trust the process. 🤍 The first few days of childc Trust the process. 🤍

The first few days of childcare aren’t always easy.

There may be tears at drop-off.
They may cling a little tighter.
They may be exhausted at the end of the day.
And you might spend your whole morning wondering, “Are they okay?”

They are learning something BIG.

A new routine. New faces. New expectations. New friendships. And most importantly — they’re learning that you leave and you always come back.

Give them time to build trust. Give their teachers time to learn them. Give yourself permission to feel a little emotional about it, too.

One day, that tearful drop-off turns into a quick hug and a “Bye!” as they run off to play. 🥹

Consistency builds comfort.
Comfort builds confidence.
And confidence takes time.

Trust the process. They’re growing right in front of you. 💙

🎈 Labor Day Lift Off Tips — from a Colorado Spring 🎈 Labor Day Lift Off Tips — from a Colorado Springs natives who know the drill 

If you’re taking the kiddos to Labor Day Lift Off this weekend, a few things we HIGHLY recommend:

✨ Prep the night before. Pack easy breakfast/snacks — yogurt pouches, fruit, granola bars, water, etc. Morning-you will be grateful.

🎈 GO EARLY. Lift off is usually around 7ish, but parking is… an experience. 😂 Give yourself way more time than you think you need.

🚗 Carpool if you can. Seriously. Fewer cars = fewer parking headaches.

🪑 Bring camp chairs if you want to actually sit and enjoy it.

👶 Bring the stroller. If you have a non-walking toddler, bring it. If you have a walking toddler… honestly, still bring it. Their little legs will suddenly stop working approximately 14 minutes after you arrive. 

☕ Grab your coffee, pack the kids, embrace the early morning chaos and enjoy it. There’s something pretty special about watching those balloons fill the Colorado Springs sky with your kiddos. ❤️🎈

Happy Labor Day weekend, Colorado Springs!

Little hands are learning! ✏️💙 Correcting pencil Little hands are learning! ✏️💙

Correcting pencil grip doesn’t have to mean constantly saying, “No, not like that.” We can gently reposition, model, encourage, and let them try again.

At 3, we’re not expecting perfection — but we are teaching the foundation. 🙌

This is what kindergarten readiness looks like beh This is what kindergarten readiness looks like behind the scenes. 👀📚

Not worksheets all day. Not pressure. Not expecting a 4-year-old to act like a 6-year-old.

It’s intentional, one-on-one assessment that helps us figure out:

✨ What they know
✨ What they’re still learning
✨ Where they need support
✨ What we teach next

Four is a BIG year — and yes, parents should know what their child is learning and how they’re being prepared for kindergarten.

We don’t guess. We assess, observe, teach, and grow. 💙

Come See Learning in Action!

The best way to understand our approach isn’t to read about it—it’s to walk into a classroom and see it happening.

We nurture a child’s love for art by giving them the opportunity to create a masterpiece that they can be proud of. Art in the classroom can be ways for our kids to express themselves and grow in their development as part of our Nationally-accredited program art is available throughout each day to encourage child directed play.
