Inspired by The Creative Curriculum (Social and Emotional, Physical, Cognitive and Language development) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) learning activities, our teachers provide children with the tools they need to create meaningful, engaging learning experiences, whatever their unique interests or developmental stage. 

Our curriculum also emphasizes the importance of relationships between teachers, children, and parents, and focuses on teaching children to think, reason, and problem-solve independently.

As a Granite Steps for Quality awarded center, The Ark uses the Pyramid Model for providing supportive, nurturing, and responsive caregiving. This positive behavioral intervention support (PBIS) framework provides a learning environment that targets social-emotional skills and supports children with challenging behaviors.
