Learning Environment
We provide a rich learning environment with curricula that is developmentally appropriate to the specific ages in each classroom. We have a flexible day routine that allows children to advance at their own pace. We strongly believe that learning happens through purposeful play. Learning and exploring are hands-on and are facilitated through interest areas. Our program is designed to enhance children's development in the following areas: creativity, self-expression, decision-making, problem-solving, responsibility, independence, and reasoning. We encourage openness to that which is different from us, and the abiliy to work and play with others.

Curriculum & Assessment
Jewell's Gems Academy uses the Creative Curriculum and education.com. As part of this curriculum, we gather information about each child's development abilities and evaluate progress so we can modify and adjust what we are doing in our classroom so as to deliver the best individualized instruction for each child. This evaluation is communicated to families periodically during the school year using various formal and informal tools, forms and resources.
