Curriculum

The Fueling Brains approach to early learning integrates the Left Brain, Right Brain, and Movement.

How We Teach Children to Learn

Learning to support executive function in young children with the goal of helping them realize their full learning potential. The Fueling Brains philosophy teaches children how to learn, not what to learn. Parent expectations on teaching letters, colors, numbers and shapes changes to a focus on the acquisition of working memory, cognitive flexibility and impulse control.

Fueling Brains Academy includes an integrated early learning suite that tracks a child’s progress, customizes curriculum to each child’s individual needs, measures positive changes, and provides quality feedback for parents. This focus on the whole child and executive function develops lifelong skills and abilities so children can grow up to be courageous, make conscious decisions, manage their impulses, and regulate their emotions.

A Balanced Curriculum for the Whole Child

The Fueling Brain Curriculum integrates the hands-on, interactive instructional approach of Montessori with the creative, community-focused approach of Reggio Emilia with the physically active focus of Movement Learning to engage the whole child, left brain, right brain, and body, in the learning process.

Left Brain

The Left Brain- focused activities bring peace, order and sense of routine in the child’s daily life through practice, repetition and purposeful work. Children experience hands-on learning activities in language, mathematics, culture and geography. The goal is to build confidence, self-esteem and a ‘can-do’ attitude in children through practical, real-life experiences.

Right Brain

The Right Brain-focused activities allow imagination and exploration to ignite your child’s natural curiosity. They support creative thinking and expression through art, dance, and storytelling. The goal is to build a child’s community through connections with others, relationship and friendship.

Movement

The movement-focused activities support children’s physical development through skill-based activities that encourage children to get stronger, faster and more balanced. These activities support the mind-body connection to enhance brain development. The goal is for children to stay moving and active to keep busy, burn energy, boost health and have fun.
