Explorers Program
Junior • 18–23 Months-Old | Senior • 2-Year-Olds
Our Explorers Program at North Star Academy is designed for toddlers aged 18–23 months through two years old, fostering a safe and engaging learning environment that encourages exploration and discovery, all while instilling Christian values.
Our Approach
At North Star Academy, we recognize that toddlers are naturally curious and eager to learn. Our Explorers Program supports and guides them as they develop their motor skills, language, and social-emotional abilities. We use a holistic approach that integrates the Frog Street curriculum, providing a rich, diverse learning experience in our childcare and preschool settings. We are proud to be Texas Rising Star (TRS) and Nature Explore certified, reflecting our commitment to high-quality early childhood education.
Frog Street Curriculum
The Frog Street curriculum is central to our Explorers Program, offering research-based, age-appropriate activities that stimulate cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and language development. Interactive play activities help toddlers develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Songs, rhymes, and stories enhance early literacy and communication skills, while sensory play and hands-on experiences allow children to explore the world through touch, sight, sound, and movement. Activities aimed at improving both fine and gross motor skills support overall physical development.
Christian Integration
Our Explorers Program incorporates Christian teachings into daily activities. Chapel days allow toddlers to experience simple worship and learn through age-appropriate stories and songs, reinforcing the Christian values we hold dear.
