Curriculum

At Imagination Crossing, the child comes first. We take pride in not only providing for their physical and emotional needs, but for their developmental needs as well. Our curriculum was handpicked for its balance between both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning. It is our goal to help the children develop the fire and passion for learning that they will carry with them throughout their life. Through partnering with families, our teachers help bridge the worlds of home and school so that they are connected, and the child can continue to explore their love of mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and technology after they step outside our walls.

Age Groups

Infants

Infants

(6 weeks to 18 months)

Parents can rely on our loving, dedicated staff of infant care providers, chosen for their warmth and affectionate personalities. They provide nurturing, age-appropriate stimulation, and lots of love. Our Infant rooms are immaculate, colorful, and well-equipped with toys and equipment similar to what you have at home for your baby and our teachers sit comfortably on gliders while holding, cuddling, and feeding your little ones! Our teachers use tablets equipped with the Brightwheel app to send daily information, updates and pictures to parents and/or grandparents. This new program is a time-saver for all, putting a lot of information into one quick email-reducing extra papers going home each day! It is reassuring to parents when they see a picture of their child’s day, knowing they are safe and well-cared for.

Younger Toddlers

Younger Toddlers

(18 months to 30 months)

Our toddler rooms are designed to be self-contained, with a diaper changing station as well as child-sized potties to begin the potty-training experience. Since Toddlers learn through play and exploration, we give them the space, age-appropriate materials, and stimulation they need to help quench their thirst for exploration. Creative Curriculum gives our Toddlers valuable experiences to help them develop and learn. At this stage, we focus on eye-hand coordination, motor development and problem-solving. Just like in our infant classrooms, our toddler teachers use the Brightwheel program to communicate about each child’s day from the time they arrive up until they are picked up.

Older Toddlers

Older Toddlers

(30 months to 36 months)

With a focus on communication skills, emotional regulation, potty training, and fine motor skills, our Toddler 2 classroom helps the children meet the developmental milestones required to enter our preschool program. The Brightwheel program helps the toddler teachers track their development progress as they work to achieve these goals.

Preschool

Our Preschool program uses Creative Curriculum designed with the children's interests in mind. They will meet developmental and social objectives as well as focus on the beginnings of Kindergarten readiness. We believe that how children learn is as important as what they learn; therefore, we implement an innovative and exciting Preschool curriculum.

Pre-Kindergarten

Pre-Kindergarten

(Fours)

Our Prek program uses Creative Curriculum to help each child meet (and perhaps exceed!) the readiness skills required for them to take the biggest step of their little lives - starting Kindergarten! The teachers will track development and tailor activities appropriately to make sure that every child gets the most out of each lesson.

Private-Kinder & Kinder-Enrichment

Private-Kinder & Kinder-Enrichment

How exciting is it when your child is ready for one of the biggest steps he or she will take? Entering Kindergarten! Selecting the appropriate Kindergarten environment is important. Our comprehensive full-day Kindergarten program gives each child the opportunity to learn from a variety of developmentally appropriate materials and equipment. Our Kindergarten Enrichment program focuses on children who attend Springboro public Kindergarten in either the morning or afternoon by offering an enhancement to their school program. This enrichment program also caters to those children who are 5 years of age, but who are not yet attending Kindergarten.
