How children learn at Bubbly Tots
Our toddler, twos, and Pre-K curriculum is grounded in Dr. Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences — every child is unique in how they see, learn about, and respond to the world. Each day balances emergent and teacher-directed activities that nurture cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and linguistic growth.
Play comes first: hands-on activities help children learn through play. In Pre-K, children also take part in daily Enrichment Learning lessons taught in small groups.
Early literacy
We believe reading is the key that unlocks the door to success. Children build phonological awareness and print conventions — left-to-right progression, letter and word recognition, and book handling — alongside alphabetic knowledge, listening and speaking skills, and a growing vocabulary.
Enrichment learning
Daily small-group lessons in:
- Spanish
- Life & animal science
- Sign language
- Math
- Computers & life skills
One center, connected stages
Familiar values across every program
