Curriculum
We Offer a Customized Curriculum
Our Successful Curriculum
At JamaJaz, we’re proud of the success of our customized curriculum, thoughtfully designed to engage and inspire. Each day includes activities such as art, circle time, and hands-on learning experiences that align with our monthly themes.
​
Every month, we introduce 2–3 letters, numbers, shapes, and colors to support early literacy and math skills. Our imaginative themes—such as trips to the circus, the zoo, or the park—allow children to "visit" these places through stories, creative projects, and themed activities. These playful, theme-based lessons spark curiosity and make learning both meaningful and fun.
​
*** JamaJaz is partnering with JAMaROO Kids. On a weekly basis, we will have visiting teachers to teach them about movement and music. Teachers use music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of our children through interventions such as singing, listening, and playing instruments. JAMaROO Kids specializes in developmentally appropriate Dance, Music, Yoga, Storytime & Art Classes for Young Children.***
