Programs & Curriculum
Not just childcare, smart care!
We have a program for every student and every family. Whether you are looking for the ideal full-time daycare
for your baby, the perfect program for your child, an opportunity for you, or a class for the two of you together, we have it here. Each program is personalized to you and geared to foster development.
SFF! Curriculum provides an excellent educational service considering the following components:
- Our students become bilingual by learning Spanish in a very natural and active environment.
- We provide a safe, healthy, fulfilling, and enjoyable environment for our students.
- The curriculum is designed with enriching activities for children.
- Naturally developing different skills and abilities.
- Promoting the capacity of building through playing in group activities and learning centers.
- Respecting and considering different learning styles.
- Permanently communicating with the parents.
- Integrating our activities with the community.
SFF! respects the individuality of each child, their interests, and characteristics at certain ages.
For this reason, we provide a learning experience based on the exploration of the world and the stimulation of creativity. Our curriculum, “Active Hands –Active Minds,” always gives children meaningful experiences.
Our curriculum is based on the Creative Curriculum, approved by NC
and is adapted according to the needs and objectives we want to achieve with our children aged 6 weeks to 4 years old.
We have three different curriculums:
- Infant’s Curriculum.
- Toddler’s Age Two Curriculum.
- Preschool and Pre-K’s Curriculum.
Our curriculum is based on stimulating the five stages of development in five main areas of learning: cognitive, socio-emotional, gross and fine motor, and language skills for full development. That is to say, we offer the child significant experiences through play, which will help them to form their personality and develop positive attitudes and values in future life.
Infants and Toddlers Curriculum
We understand the importance of this period of life for a newborn. Our activities are based on talking, singing, and laughing with our little ones because we know it is the best way to create effective bonds. In addition, exploration and inquiry through the stimulation of the senses. For example, We hide behind a blanket to play booga boo! When we play different musical instruments for them to hear, touching different textures, among others, will allow them to progress in their learning and have knowledge of the world around them.
Early Preschool Age Two Curriculum
At the age of 2 years, they begin to have a larger vocabulary; they begin to realize that it is an autonomous being, “ME”, explore, observe and investigate through the senses and action. Their psychomotricity develops with more firmness and precision. Knowing these general characteristics at this age, our activities focus on strengthening and stimulating those skills through creative, fun, and educational games.
Preschool and Pre-K Curriculum
At this age, children show greater confidence and autonomy and express various emotions, enjoy pretend play, and greatly increase their gross and fine motor skills. In addition, the verbal explosion occurs; the vocabulary increases rapidly and evolutionarily. This allows us to create playful, meaningful, and challenging learning experiences according to your educational needs.
Our curriculums are focused on:
- Strengthening and enhancing the following areas of knowledge: Social-emotional, Cognitive, Physical (fine and gross motor), Expressive Arts, Language, Math, and Science and Technology.
- Specially designed activities for every age.
- Children learn in a personalized way because each is important to us.
- Children “learn while having fun”.
- Social-emotional activities.
- Active learning.
- Inquiries and explorers.
- Research-based curriculum.
- We work on topics of interest every month, for example, My community and the animal kingdom, among others, which offers fun and interesting activities and learning experiences for our little ones.
We work through projects based on the interests of the child. Their opinion is important to us: What they think, feel, and want to know about the different topics.
Our daily routine has special and important activities such as Circle time, Story time, and Music time. We also have free play in all the different centers, like science, art, literature, manipulative, blocks, and cooking.
Our curriculum is always improving and changing.

Spanish Story Time
Reading is a beautiful gift that we can offer to the little ones. It opens doors to wonderful, magical worlds that stimulate the language, creativity and imagination of children. That is why in SFF! We wish to offer parents a free space of stories, songs and language games in Spanish. We encourage you to participate in this incredible time thought of you and your children.
This time will benefit your children in the following ways:
- Encourage oral expression
- Develop a unique approach with the Spanish language
- Gradually acquire vocabulary in Spanish
- Encourage the love of books
- Stimulate visual and auditory capacity
- Stimulate memory
