Bishop Child Development Center, Sunnyvale

Our classrooms abound in materials that invite children to actively explore and that reflect their diverse interests and learning profiles. The areas of the room represent the learning domains that connect to later school content: language and literacy, math, science, visual and performing arts and social science. We have environments that are safe, child accessible and appealing to all the senses. In our programs we surround children with learning opportunities. We develop and grow basic academic skills through child and teacher guided activities and interactions. Our literacy and math curricula are research based, developmentally sequenced and based on skills that lead to success in school and beyond. As teachers identify children’s interests, strengths and level of development, they add materials to the classroom and design engaging activities incorporating language and literacy, math, science, visual and performing arts, physical, health and safety concepts and skill building.
