Curriculum

Facility
The facility is designed for safety and convenience. RiverRidge Kids was built in 1999 and provides the following features:
  • Eight large classrooms that are clean and colorful and provide a fun atmosphere that makes learning fun!
  • Fenced-in outdoor area providing our children with the necessary boundaries to expand their mind and the freedom to explore with their imaginations.
  • Large indoor active play area providing protection from rain, snow, and heat.
  • Gross motor play is recommended at a minimum of one hour per day and our teachers have ample space between their classrooms, outdoor area, and indoor area to allow for this developmentally appropriate expression of fun!
  • Access to walking trails which encourages children to explore the outdoors, allows families to take their break from work and walk with their child, and allows for children to learn about nature in a hands-on experience.
  • Keypad entry system

Sample Day

Sample Infant Schedule:

Infants have their own individual patterns for feeding, playtime, and sleeping. Therefore a typical schedule for infants includes flexibility to meet each child’s individual needs throughout their day. Along with feeding, sleeping and diapering, our highly trained teachers offer a nurturing environment with lots of personal attention and interaction such as singing, reading, and talking to develop their bodies and minds.
