Welcome to Solomike Early Childhood Center
We offer a child-centered, child-directed learning environment that supports the natural development of every child through our Reggio Emilia–inspired approach.
Children dive into meaningful topics, engage in imaginative play, and express themselves through a variety of creative media.

Our Curriculum
What a day of learning looks like
We follow a Reggio Emilia–inspired approach: an internationally respected philosophy that sees children as capable, curious learners. Rather than a fixed lesson plan, teachers follow the children’s interests, learning happens through play, exploration, and creative expression, and the classroom itself becomes a place of discovery.
- Social Emotional Development
Our activities encourage children’s social skills and provide lots of opportunities to develop positive relationships.
- Language & Literacy
Story time, quiet reading, and conversations introduce children to language, literacy, and books.
- Cognitive Development
We find creative ways to teach mathematical concepts and to help children learn all the important basics.
- Diversity
Caring for living things, exploring our environment, and learning about differences help children discover the world around them.
- Self-Help Skills
Putting safety first, participating in physical activities and games, and making nutritious food choices inspire healthy habits for life.
- Creative Expression
Interesting materials and lots of different tools and techniques help children express themselves creatively.
