EnrichEd is a nonprofit extended day learning program in select Rhode Island schools.
Our special needs program, EnhancEd Support Services, provides support to our classrooms. EnhancEd offers monthly trainings and hands-on assistance from the Special Needs Program Director and licensed Clinicians. EnhancEd classrooms also have an extra staff member in the classroom, a Therapeutic Intervention Specialist.
Curriculum:
Teachers complete weekly lesson plans aligned to both the state standards (RIELDS) and the NurturEd curriculum. View this month’s Curriculum Calendar here. Our curriculum is revised annually based on teacher and parent feedback to form our Educational Framework.
Parent – Teacher conferences occur every Fall and Spring. Teachers utilize Cognitive ToyBox to complete ongoing assessment. This support provides the key to planning appropriate early childhood learning experiences.
Our goals for children:
- Develop a sense of emotional security, trust in their teachers (caregivers) and their environment
- Develop a growing sense of autonomy, initiative and curiosity
- Develop self confidence
- Build a life-long love of learning
- Develop and demonstrate pro-social behaviors such as cooperation, sharing, and taking turns
- Demonstrate problem solving skills.
