Our curriculum is inspired by the teachings of Imam Al-Ghazali, a renowned Islamic scholar whose wisdom continues to resonate across generations. Through the Al-Ghazali curriculum, children are exposed to age-appropriate lessons and stories that instill virtues such as kindness, gratitude, honesty, and compassion.
From a young age, children are introduced to the fundamentals of Islam through engaging stories, songs, and activities. They learn about Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Quranic stories, and the importance of kindness, respect, and love for others, laying a strong foundation for their spiritual growth.
Our assessment practices focus on observing children’s progress and development in various domains, including cognitive, social-emotional, and physical development. Teachers use a variety of assessment tools, including observations, checklists, and portfolios, to track children’s growth and tailor instruction to meet their individual needs.
Our leave of absence policy covers situations where families need to take extended leaves. Please refer to our Leave of Absence Policy for detailed information. In summary, when a leave of absence is taken for two weeks or more, tuition is reduced to 50%, provided that the school is notified in advance with a minimum of two weeks' notice or one month's notice. Failure to provide adequate notice may result in full tuition for the subsequent month.
Yes, the minimum enrollment requirement is three days for part-time enrollment. Our part-time options are available for either nine to one or nine to three, with a minimum of three days per week considered part-time enrollment.
Currently, we do not offer hot meals. However, we provide morning snacks. Parents are encouraged to pack lunch for their children, especially if they have dietary preferences or restrictions. While we have a menu for morning snacks, we do not offer substitutions.
At Creative Hearts, we approach challenging behavior with love, compassion, and understanding. We do not believe in punishment or timeouts. Instead, children are redirected and offered a "thinking spot" within the classroom where they can calm themselves with quiet activities. If a pattern of behavior persists, parents are notified, and a meeting is arranged. Bullying is taken seriously, and our teachers are trained to address it with kindness and understanding, involving parents as necessary. We prioritize problem-solving and communication over punitive measures.
