Nurturing Natural Curiosity, Empowering Lifelong Learners.

An Emergent Approach to Early Childhood

At Cobb, we focus on the whole child—cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Using an emergent approach, we observe and support children’s natural interests, providing resources that encourage exploration and growth. Children initiate their own learning, creating themes that evolve over days, weeks, or even months. This fosters collaboration, emotional regulation, and empathy. Our staff is dedicated to nurturing these interests, creating a rich, dynamic learning environment where children thrive.

Our Programs.

  • Infant Program - (6 weeks - 14 months)

    At Cobb Children's Learning Center, our Infant Program is designed to nurture the critical development that takes place in a child's first three years. With small class sizes of 8, we ensure individual attention, fostering respect, love, and care for each baby. Our program encourages language and literacy through early communication, promotes social and emotional growth by forming strong attachments and exploring relationships, supports physical milestones like crawling and grasping, and stimulates cognitive skills as infants begin to explore their world and understand object permanence.

  • Toddler Program (10 months - 24 months)

    Our Toddler program provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for toddlers as they begin to gain control over their bodies, develop early vocabulary, and discover the world around them. With a class size of 8, we offer individualized attention while introducing greater challenges to promote growth. Our program supports language and literacy by helping toddlers label objects, express needs, and explore reading and writing. Social and emotional development is encouraged through interactions with peers, emotional regulation, and building empathy. Physical milestones like walking, running, and fine motor skills are prioritized, while cognitive growth is fostered through early counting, sorting, and understanding concepts like size and volume.

  • Early Preschool (22 months - 36 months)

    Our Early Preschool program is designed for curious and adventurous learners who are eager to explore the world around them. With a class size of 10, we provide a rich environment for group play, where children develop friendships, cooperation skills, and learn to take turns. Language and literacy are enhanced through verbal expression, rhyming games, and exploring storytelling. Social and emotional growth focuses on interactive play, emotional regulation, and building confidence through tasks like potty training. Physical milestones include jumping, balancing, and improving fine motor skills, while cognitive development is encouraged through simple math, science exploration, and understanding community roles and routines.

  • Preschool Program (3 years - 4 years)

    Our Preschool Program offers a dynamic environment for children to expand their intellectual, social, and physical abilities. With a class size of 20, preschoolers engage in a world full of new challenges as they develop symbolic and logical thinking. Language and literacy growth is encouraged through expanded vocabulary, early literacy activities, and fine motor skill development. Social and emotional development focuses on building friendships, collaborative play, and emotional regulation. Children work on physical milestones like galloping and hopping, gain independence in self-care, and learn about healthy eating. Cognitive skills are strengthened through counting, sorting, pretend play, and simple science experiments that foster curiosity.

  • Pre-Kindergarten Program (Age 4 by September 1st)

    At Cobb, our Pre-Kindergarten curriculum is a collaborative and dynamic process between teachers and children. Guided by the children's natural curiosity and their teachers' knowledge of child development, learning goals emerge from spontaneous discoveries and interests. This approach fosters creativity, builds self-esteem, and empowers children to take initiative. Language and literacy are developed through storytelling, early writing, and name recognition. Social and emotional growth focuses on independence, respectful interaction, and an appreciation of diversity. Physical development includes coordination skills like catching, throwing, and cutting, while cognitive skills are sharpened through pattern recognition, basic math, scientific exploration, and community engagement.
