Curriculum

Just Like Mom’s philosophy and approach blends the best practices of various educational disciplines, European and American, old and new, creating a unique and balanced approach to early childhood education. Over the last two decades we have had the opportunity to refine our curriculums and teaching methodology to provide the appropriate balance of cognitive, social, creative and physical development. We believe that our ability to provide the right balance of education, social skills, creative outlets and fun activities within a nurturing and secure environment will lay the foundation for success in later life.

We recognize that parents are a key component in a child’s education. Parents are encouraged to schedule conferences with their child’s teachers to discuss their progress and address questions and concerns. Just Like Mom’s also conducts parent meetings, programs, and events throughout the year. It’s through the feedback from our parents that our program has become so successful.

Many of our students have grown up to become business owners, executives, actors, teachers, attorneys, doctors, and other leaders of the community. However, most rewarding and a true testament to the quality of care we provide, resides in the number of former students who entrust us with their children. Of course, we are honored.
