Learning that Inspires Holistic Growth

At Safari Kid Cupertino, we believe that early education should nurture every aspect of a child’s development. Our comprehensive curriculum is carefully crafted to inspire curiosity while addressing cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and creative growth.

We focus on developing the whole child by emphasizing these core areas of learning:

• Cognitive Development: Through interactive, hands-on activities, we build critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Children engage in activities that explore patterns, counting, and simple scientific concepts. Creative opportunities like open-ended art projects and imaginative play spark curiosity and innovation, helping young minds grow.
• Language and Literacy Development: Communication is key to learning, and our program integrates language-building activities into everyday routines. Storytelling, phonics, and vocabulary games lay a foundation for reading and writing. Additionally, children explore basic words in a foreign language and engage in simple sign language to enhance their communication skills while fostering a rich appreciation for cultural diversity.
• Physical Development: Physical activity is an integral part of our program. Fine motor skills are developed through activities like cutting, drawing, and threading beads. Active play, whether through outdoor time or games, builds gross motor skills. Yoga-inspired stretches add an extra layer of fun, helping children improve strength, coordination, and flexibility.
• Social and Emotional Growth: Our classrooms serve as a nurturing space for children to form friendships, learn empathy, and build self-awareness. Activities like cooperative play, turn-taking, and group discussions encourage collaboration, while guided exercises teach children to identify and manage emotions confidently and constructively.
• Health and Mindfulness Practices: Emotional well-being is a priority as we foster open discussions about feelings and teach children simple mindfulness and breathing exercises to handle emotions like fear or anxiety. Guided activities also help them practice conflict resolution and negotiation, building essential problem-solving skills.
