CLASSROOMS & CURRICULUM
Where Little Minds Become
Big Thinkers!
At Laugh N' Discover, we believe every child is born with limitless potential — and it’s our mission to help them unlock it. We don’t just teach kids; we create baby geniuses!
​
As a private, academic-based preschool, we specialize in nurturing essential skills in math, literacy, phonics, and writing through hands-on activities and intentional play. Our tailored curriculum ensures that each child builds a strong academic foundation while developing the critical thinking, social-emotional, and problem-solving skills they need to succeed — not just in kindergarten, but in life.
​
But what truly sets us apart? Our whole-child approach, which blends academic excellence with social-emotional growth, creativity, and family involvement — all while making learning fun and meaningful.​
Curriculum Tailored for Every Child
Our curriculum isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s customized by our Executive Director to meet the unique needs of every child, ensuring that they are both challenged and supported throughout their learning journey.
Homework & Family Projects
Every month, families receive Homework & Family Projects that strengthen classroom learning and encourage at-home engagement. It’s our way of partnering with parents to make learning a family affair!
How We Track Growth —
Because Every Milestone Matters
We take assessments seriously — but we make them child-friendly and stress-free. Assessments help us understand how your child is progressing and how we can fine-tune their learning experience for even better outcomes.
​
Here’s how we do it:
-
Developmental Milestones Checklists (5x/year) — Identify strengths, support developmental delays, and adjust curriculum accordingly.
-
Age-Specific Assessments — Starting at age 2, we assess skills like colors, shapes, letters, sounds, numbers, handwriting, and sight words.
-
Individualized Small Groups — Lesson plans and group activities are adjusted based on assessment results to meet every child’s unique needs.
-
Collaborative Planning — Teachers and directors meet regularly to review data, discuss growth, and create personalized strategies.
-
Parental Involvement — Assessments are shared with families both through Brightwheel and hard copies, so you’re always in the loop.
We believe that assessment informs teaching, helps improve our program, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for your child.
