A Curriculum That Nurtures the Whole Child
At Early Childcare Center of Harlingen, we believe children learn best when they are actively engaged, having fun, and surrounded by love and encouragement. That’s why we’ve designed our programs around a dual curriculum approach that blends structure with creativity.
Our goal is to ensure that every child develops academically, emotionally, socially, and physically—so they are not only ready for school but also ready for life.
Frog Street Curriculum
The Frog Street Curriculum is at the heart of our teaching approach. This nationally recognized program is designed specifically for early childhood development, guiding children through key milestones with activities that are engaging and age-appropriate.
With Frog Street, children gain:
✓ Early Literacy Skills – building vocabulary, recognizing letters and sounds, and fostering a love of reading.
✓ Math Readiness – exploring numbers, patterns, and problem-solving through hands-on play.
✓ Social and Emotional Development – learning empathy, teamwork, and self-confidence.
✓ Fine and Gross Motor Skills – strengthening coordination, balance, and dexterity through play-based activities.
Each lesson is carefully structured but flexible enough to meet children where they are, ensuring that every child is challenged and supported at the right level.
Celebrate Curriculum
We are proud to also integrate the Celebrate Curriculum, a one-of-a-kind program focused on music and dance as pathways to learning.
Children naturally connect with rhythm, movement, and song. Through Celebrate, they:
✓ Develop language by learning through repetition, rhythm, and rhyme.
✓ Enhance motor skills with dance, clapping, and movement-based activities.
✓ Build creativity by expressing themselves through music and performance.
✓ Boost confidence by participating in group activities, performances, and celebrations.
Celebrate makes learning joyful and memorable, helping children discover the power of self-expression while reinforcing academic and developmental goals.

Bilingual Education
At our center, we believe that learning a second language from an early age opens doors. That’s why we offer bilingual classes where children are gently introduced to Spanish and English in natural, engaging ways.
Benefits of bilingual education include:
✓ Stronger cognitive development and problem-solving skills.
✓ Improved communication abilities and vocabulary.
✓ A deeper appreciation for cultural diversity.
✓ Long-term advantages in academics and career opportunities
Our teachers integrate language learning into songs, stories, and play, making it a seamless and fun part of the day.
Learning Through Play and Discovery
We know that children are natural explorers. While our curriculum provides structure, it also leaves plenty of room for child-led discovery. Our classrooms are filled with opportunities for hands-on learning—whether it’s building with blocks, exploring sensory bins, creating art projects, or experimenting with science activities.
This balance ensures children develop a love of learning while mastering the skills they’ll need for school success.
