Spotlight on Project-Based Learning
Early Education
A joyful and nurturing entry into lifelong learning.
Rooted in Islamic values and inspired by Humanistic and child-centered approaches, our program celebrates each child's individuality while fostering curiosity and exploration in a warm and caring environment.
Our educational approach for children ages 3 to 5 is shaped by key elements, that include:
Cherishing Love for Learning
Our goal is to nurture each child’s innate curiosity and sense of wonder through a gentle, thoughtful approach that honors the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.
Building Trusting Connections
We believe that meaningful relationships are the heart of early childhood education. In our classrooms, educators build trusting bonds with children, creating a sense of safety and belonging that supports healthy emotional, social, and cognitive development.
Growing Through Play
Play is at the heart of our curriculum. Through imaginative play, hands-on exploration, and inquiry-based projects rooted in children’s interests and questions, students engage in problem-solving, develop critical thinking skills, and express their innate creativity.
Living Islamic Values
Our Early Education Program weaves Islamic values—such as cultivating morality and nurturing leadership—into everyday experiences in small, age-appropriate ways. These values come to life in the classroom through stories, interactions, daily routines, and acts of service.
Embracing Every Learner
We celebrate and honor the unique learning styles, abilities, and backgrounds of every child. Our inclusive approach removes attitudinal, structural, and societal barriers to learning, ensuring that each child feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
It All Started with ‘We Want to Grow a Flower Garden’
Spotlight on Project-Based Learning:
At the Islamic Cultural Center School, our Early Education Program is guided by the belief that children are naturally curious and driven to grow and develop. One spring morning, when teachers asked our youngest learners, “What would you like to do if you could do anything you want?”, their answer came quickly and joyfully: “We want to grow a flower garden!”
