Walnut Ridge Primary School provides a quality program using the Tools of the Mind Curriculum
Some Curriculum Highlights:
- combines activities specifically designed to promote self-regulation with activities that focus on academic skills, while also giving children the opportunity to practice self-regulation/executive function skills;
- ensures children meet state and national standards by emphasizing research-based activity content;
- promotes mature play—make-believe in preschool to dramatization in kindergarten—which is the most beneficial context for young children to develop self-regulation, cognitive, and social-emotional skills.
