Explore Our Emergent Curriculum
Our programs use the Emergent curriculum that adapts to your child’s interests and developmental needs. Teachers observe what excites children and design engaging activities that encourage exploration, problem-solving, and collaboration.
Spanish
Spanish Immersion at The Muse Academy
Our Spanish immersion program creates a natural, joyful environment where young children develop bilingual skills through everyday experiences. Children are surrounded by the Spanish language throughout their day as they engage in songs, rhymes, games, and playful activities that make learning feel effortless and fun.
Gardening
Garden to Table Program
Our hands-on gardening program invites children to discover the wonder of growing their own food from seed to harvest.
Through direct experience in our outdoor garden, children will plant, nurture, and observe the complete growth cycle of fruits and vegetables. They'll get their hands in the soil, water their plants, watch seeds sprout and transform, and experience the joy of harvesting what they've grown together. The program includes engaging activities that explore gardening concepts through play, observation, and experimentation.
Children will have opportunities to taste the fresh produce they've cultivated, connecting them to healthy foods and the natural world in meaningful, memorable ways. This process-oriented approach nurtures curiosity, patience, and an understanding of where our food comes from while building a connection to nature and each other.
Little Chef’s Cooking Program
Through age-appropriate cooking activities, children explore how different foods nourish their bodies, and learning which foods help them grow strong, give them energy, and keep them healthy.
Children gain practical experience using safe cooking tools and equipment while learning to follow simple recipes step-by-step. They develop fine motor skills, practice sequencing, and discover how following directions leads to delicious results. As they work through recipes, they learn what different ingredients do for their bodies and how to make nutritious choices. Each cooking session connects to our larger understanding of the food cycle.
The program culminates in our composting initiative, where children learn to transform food scraps into rich soil for our garden. This completes our garden-to-table cycle, helping children understand that the foods we prepare today can help grow the foods we'll enjoy tomorrow.

Infants
The Muse Academy ensures that our teachers are able to establish warm relationships with our little ones. The supportive relationships we foster provide children with a strong foundation for learning and encourage them to be curious and explore the world around them.
Our teachers focus on creating a routine and providing responsive care to children so they may develop closer relationships with the people around them, gaining confidence in themselves as young learners. Our Emergent Curriculum approach for infants and toddlers means that teachers carefully observe each child's interests, developmental readiness, and natural curiosities, then design experiences that follow the child's lead.
In our caring, nurturing environment, children feel safe and comfortable to explore at their own pace while teachers gently support them in reaching important developmental milestones. We celebrate each child's unique timeline, providing individualized attention and age-appropriate opportunities that encourage growth in all areas: physical, cognitive, social, and emotional.
Two's
At The Muse Academy, our two-year-old program nurtures your child's natural curiosity through an emergent, play-based curriculum that follows their interests and developmental needs.
This is a pivotal year for social-emotional development. Your child will discover how to navigate friendships, express their feelings, and become part of a caring classroom community. Through meaningful interactions and guided support, they'll develop essential skills in sharing, listening, and communicating with peers and teachers.
Our emergent curriculum means we follow your child's lead. As they explore, question, and discover, our teachers create rich learning experiences that build on their natural interests. Your two-year-old will engage in activities that foster creative expression, language development, physical growth, cognitive discovery and social connection.
Our outdoor environment is an extension of the classroom, where learning continues in the fresh air and sunshine. Your child will have daily opportunities to connect with nature: digging in the soil, observing insects, feeling different textures, and experiencing the changing seasons. These outdoor experiences foster wonder, scientific thinking, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
Three's
At The Muse Academy, we nurture three-year-olds’ natural desire to learn and discover in a safe, supportive environment designed specifically for young learners.
Rather than following predetermined lesson plans, our teachers observe and listen to your child's interests and questions, then create learning experiences that build on their natural curiosity. This approach allows children not only to learn new concepts but to truly comprehend what they're discovering through hands-on exploration: taking things apart, putting them back together, and investigating how the world works.
Learning happens throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors. Inside, children engage with open-ended materials like blocks, sand, paint, clay, and loose parts that encourage creativity and problem-solving. Outside, learning continues in new and different ways as children explore nature, engage in physical challenges, and make discoveries in our outdoor learning environment.
Four's
Through our emergent curriculum, we follow children's natural interests and questions, creating meaningful learning experiences that develop essential skills to be successful.
Children engage in experiences that strengthen problem-solving skills as they work through real challenges, ask questions, and discover solutions independently and collaboratively. We encourage children to explore "why" and "how," building critical thinking and cognitive skills through hands-on investigation.
Children also practice cooperation, communication, conflict resolution, and building meaningful friendships as they develop social-emotional skills essential for their success.
Learning continues in our outdoor learning environment which is a vital extension of learning where children continue to develop and grow. In this natural space, children engage in physical challenges that build gross motor skills, explore science concepts firsthand, collaborate on large-scale projects, and develop independence and confidence.
Social Skills
Through group play, children learn to cooperate, communicate, and resolve conflicts.
Cognitive Development
Activities like painting, building, and exploring nature stimulate critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Emotional Growth
Children gain self-confidence and resilience as they navigate challenges in a safe, nurturing environment.
And further teaching practices like
hands-on learning through play; early literacy, math, and creative learning; and social-emotional skills like empathy and communication.
