Children’s Academy of Northlake uses Pinnacle Curriculum for the toddler aged child. For preschool, we use Creative Curriculum. We believe each curriculum has developmentally appropriate and engaging activities for each age group. The classroom lessons are specifically designed to help your child establish the educational foundation they need for future academic success.

Our toddlers learn basic skills to become happy, productive and caring individuals. Through the use of this curriculum and support of our teachers, children learn empathy, acceptance and the celebration of differences. Two and three year olds learn to express feelings and manage conflict resolution. Being a part of a supportive classroom community will benefit each child as they are exposed to storytelling, poetry, dramatic play and so much more! Through exploration of patterns in math, art, music, nature, blocks and other materials, your early learner will develop fine motor and self-help skills.
