Curriculum Goals

The PENNSYLVANIA EARLY LEARNING STANDARDS (PELS) provides the framework to assure that the children's learning experiences are being offered in a high-quality setting. We model their guiding principles, which goes above & beyond a basic daycare. We are located in Coplay, Lehigh valley, PA.

Our teachers design curriculum, which is based on individual needs. This guarantees classroom experiences that will meet the child's interests, abilities, & culture.

Ages & Stages goes beyond basic daycare. We use informal & formal assessments to understand the child's progress. Classroom documentation from observations, along with information from the family, helps to identify goals & next steps for the child's continued learning.
