We use the Creative Curriculum while encouraging your child’s natural curiosity and building on what he or she already knows. We are aligned with Washington State Early Learning Guidelines and we believe in authentic, ongoing, observation-based assessment strategies that focus on strengths. We assess using Teaching Strategies Gold over the following objectives: social-emotional, physical, language, literacy, cognitive, and math. We believe children learn best through play. We respond to the individual needs of each child and encourage a love of learning every step of the way.

We are all about paint, glue, color, and imagination. We celebrate creativity and good manners, respect for yourself and others. We share stories, music, ideas, and togetherness. We notice our surroundings, explore and ask questions. We want good things for each child, now and forever. We are here to make that happen in the best way we can and know how. We are the Kettle Falls Early Learning Center, here for you and your family.
