At Hooray Preschool Academy, our curriculum is built on five key principles, developed by psychologists to foster children’s social-emotional growth and overall well-being. We aim to nurture self-management, emotional regulation, social awareness, and cognitive development through carefully designed activities.

Our facility is equipped to support each principle with dedicated spaces and programs. In our large gym, children develop physical coordination and self-confidence, learning the importance of persistence and positive self-talk, a core aspect of self-management. Art and music classes offer opportunities to explore feelings and express creativity, while practicing fine motor skills and emotional awareness.

We integrate the principles into our daily routines by using positive words of affirmation, encouraging children to recognize and articulate their emotions. For example, during our “Big Feelings” class, children learn to identify different emotions and practice using calming techniques like deep breathing and yoga. Group activities foster social awareness, teaching empathy, cooperation, and respect for others’ emotions.

By weaving these principles into every corner of our curriculum, from gross motor activities to reflective practices, we empower children to build resilience, emotional intelligence, and a love for learning in a safe, nurturing environment.
