Each day is made up a balance of active, quiet, individual and group activities along with meals and nap\/rest. Families are an integral part of our program. We partner with families to help lay a foundation that fosters a child\u2019s \u201clove of learning\u201d and to strengthen their ability to<br \/>\nacquire necessary skills as life -long learners.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Core Values<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Partnerships<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Relationships<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Experiences<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Diversity<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Safety<\/li>\n<li>Quality<\/li>\n<li>Integrity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Curriculum<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Our curriculum is emergent, child-centered and play based. Planning the curriculum in each classroom will be based on:<\/p>\n<p>*Knowledge of child development<\/p>\n<p>*Understanding of developmentally appropriate practices and following the guidelines of developmentally appropriate practices<\/p>\n<p>*Sensitivity to children\u2019s personal experiences and interests<\/p>\n<p>*Knowing that children learn through first-hand observation, play and direct experiences. Both adults and children initiate and make decisions. Curriculum is negotiated between what interests them and what adults know is necessary for children\u2019s education and development. Our center also uses Creative and Emergent Curriculum and The Idaho Early Learning Guidelines. They are also platforms which learning takes place and include attributes for children to be successful in our program and in life.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][kids_academy_testimonial_3][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;726&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Northgate Shopping Center<br \/>\n7064 W State St, Boise, ID 83714[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][kids_academy_about button_url_1=&#8221;&#8221; button_url_2=&#8221;&#8221; about_image=&#8221;828&#8243; title=&#8221;About ELCC&#8221; ka_class=&#8221;academy2&#8243; section_bg_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; section_overlay_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; about_content=&#8221;Bruce and Janet Davis opened Early Learning Children\u2019s Center with loving hearts in 2009.
