Curriculum
Urban Day School follows the Creative Curriculum in Head Start classrooms.
(Day Care teachers in wrap-around classrooms are trained in Creative Curriculum, enhancing learning for students receiving before and after school care.) The Creative Curriculum creates opportunities for individualized instruction based on each child’s developmental level.
All activities are age-appropriate, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to reach his/her full potential.

All activities are designed to assist and guide children with:
- Social and emotional development
- Physical development
- Cognitive development
- Development of language skills
- Literacy skills
- Math skills
- Science
- Creative arts
- Using various approaches to learning
