Green Garden Curriculum

At all Green Garden locations, the HighScope curriculum is our curriculum of choice for all ages. The HighScope curriculum is widely celebrated throughout the world and is home-grown right here in our own backyard with the foundation located right in Ypsilanti, MI. Beginning with the Perry Preschool Study, the HighScope Curriculum “uses active learning and the plan-do-review process to achieve powerful, positive outcomes” for all children. HighScope is a research based curriculum model that empowers young thinkers to question their world and draw conclusions based on their experiences. Ongoing relationships with familiar caregivers, highly skilled in the art of scaffolding children’s learning, are essential for your child to thrive both in early learning and beyond

What Parents Are Saying

All three of my children attended Green Garden and we couldn’t be happier with our experience there. We transferred from another local day care facility when my oldest was 2 years old, before the other kiddos were born, and it was the best decision we ever made. Green Garden staff are caring and knowledgeable. Everyone at Green Garden was attentive to our children’s medical needs, and the directors have always been quick to respond to questions, concerns and last minute schedule changes. I am impressed with how little staff turnover they have, which is unusual in the child care industry. The teachers truly became an extended family to us, and I will miss them as my youngest heads off to kindergarten. My favorite part of our experience at Green Garden has been the unique classroom setting, coupled with lots of nature and outside time! I also loved the sense of community, with “after-hours” family activities that helped build relationships with other Green Garden families. Our children learned so much and made lifelong friendships. I cannot say enough good things about Green Garden!

Without a shadow of a doubt, the best child care center I’ve ever encountered. They actually do put children first, they don’t just talk about it (as so many centers do as they become overly concerned with numbers and finances). It’s incredible to watch them grow – both physically and in mission to children and families – and to contribute so strongly and positively into their community. Highest recommendation possible.
