Carlsbad Country Day School believes that excellent child care replicates many aspects of a quality home environment, where caring adults nurture children to grow and learn. Carlsbad Country Day School's curriculum is based on children learning through planned, purposeful, play-based activities. These activities allow children to become confident learners, exploring and investigating through valuable first hand experiences. The preschool program provides a print rich environment, integration of all disciplines, hands on learning, and discovery of social and educational core concepts. The youngest children in our Infants and Toddler Programs are given the opportunity to grow and develop while enjoying a happy stimulating school environment. At Carlsbad Country Day School we believe that the end depends on the beginning and we plan on creating a strong foundation.

We believe to develop Physically a child needs to exercise all parts of their bodies and get plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and healthy food in a clean and safe environment.

We believe to develop Socially a child needs to interact with other children and adults. This provides a moral base, including independence and self-discipline. Further, children need to be provided with open-ended opportunities to communicate their creativity throughout a variety of curricular domains.

We believe to develop Emotionally a child needs to learn express their feelings, to love, be loved, to feel good about themselves and to empathize with others. We believe that continuity of care, the practice of having the same caregiver throughout their earliest years of school, facilitates strong emotional development.

We believe to develop Intellectually a child needs to be encouraged to discover new things, solve problems, build an understanding of numbers, express their thoughts and ideas in writing, communicate effectively and develop early literacy through books, songs, and poetry.
