A Rewarding Career Path as an Early Educator

Working in childcare is a daily adventure filled with laughter, learning, and love. It's a profession that allows you to make a profound impact on young minds, nurturing their growth and development in a world full of wonder. Imagine the joy of watching a child take their first steps, or the pride of helping them discover their ABCs. It's a job where play is not just encouraged; it's a vital part of the curriculum. Every day is a chance to spark creativity, cultivate empathy, and be a beacon of support for both children and their families. So, if you're ready to combine professionalism with boundless enthusiasm and be a guiding star in a child's life, a career in childcare might just be your calling.

The Full Circle Curriculum is intentionally designed with curiosity and imagination at heart, and kindergarten readiness in mind. What sets our curriculum apart?

Our Full Circle Curriculum

Children’s Books are the Glue

We utilize children's books to teach our kiddos about the world, understand diverse perspectives, inspire creative thinking, and so much more. By providing this foundation for learning in the classroom, we are setting the stage for a lifelong love of reading that paves the way for future success in school and in life.

Our Approach to Kindergarten Readiness

We take an intentional approach to Kindergarten Readiness that values authentic learning opportunities over static, rote memorization by itself. Preparing our children for kindergarten is one of the leading goals at BFA, and our curriculum reflects this. By aligning daily activities to Ohio Early Learning Standards and highlighting key skills each month through progress summaries, we provide every child the support they need to become a confident, competent kindergartner. In addition, we also complete quarterly assessments to ensure each child is receiving the individualized support they need to thrive in Kindergarten and beyond.

Our Daily Brain Builders: A Fresh Take on Routine

As early childhood educators, we understand the importance of routine and used this idea to develop the foundation of the Full Circle Curriculum. Each age group's catchy days of the week tag-lines, or "daily brain builders" provide a weekly structure for implementing hands-on, age-appropriate activities across all age groups.

Unleash Your Creative Potential

Our quarterly Curriculum Workshops-a vibrant space where BFA educators reignite their creativity, shaping exciting new lesson plans for our early learners. These workshops are a dynamic playground for teachers to dive deep into our Full Circle Curriculum, providing valuable feedback and insights. It's more than just a gathering; it's a chance to connect, collaborate, and cultivate fresh ideas with fellow educators. At these workshops, we believe that creativity knows no bounds, and by coming together, we inspire innovation in early education. Join us for a journey of professional growth, exploration, and the opportunity to shape the future of learning for our young ones
