Curriculum

RRDC philosophy is rooted in the traditions of constructivist learning theory and practice, meaning, we believe children construct their knowledge through hands-on play experiences and social interactions. Children use their previous knowledge and natural desire to learn as a foundation to build on, making every child’s individual experience unique to them. The social nature of learning is valued and fostered, for it is through shared relationships with others that children come to realize themselves. Children’s social and emotional growth is viewed as priority in our planning of the environment and experiences.

Teachers take a responsive curriculum approach, act as learning partners, and modify their practice in response to children’s questions, theories, and curiosities. Independent and cooperative learning are fostered through learning centers that include materials for: dramatic play, sensory exploration, block and manipulative play, science discovery, math, art, literacy and practical life. Providing a unique music experience for children is a signature component of the program, providing children with a daily opportunity to develop an appreciation for culturally diverse music and to use music as a learning tool for other domains.

We learn most about children through our partnerships with families. We rely on mutual respect and trust with families and appreciate the diversity they bring to our community to help our children grow to their full potential. Our thoughtfully planned spaces create a place to welcome, value, celebrate, and respect all individuals.

We had a great experience at this center. Our daughter benefited from drop in care. Miss Jade was amazing: very caring with the children, great communication with the parents, class rooms were very clean and nicely equipped. We would recommend this center. Great team! Great management!

My daughter has joined RRDC at porter square for almost a year now. All of her teachers are very nice and friendly. I also love that they have music class almost everyday. My daughter loves to dance. So, she really enjoys going to her daycare.

Our kid has been attending Rock and Roll East Cambridge since he was 7 months old and we love it! All the staff are incredibly sweet, caring and patient. The teachers are experienced and treat the kids like their own babies. The director is very sweet and always helpful in answering any questions we have. Everyone is truly the best. Our baby had a tough time adjusting, and they were all so wonderful in taking care of him and helping him get used to daycare, as well as calming our worries. They were (and continue to be) very responsive, understanding, and collaborative in taking care of him, and we are so grateful for them! Now that he's a bit older, our kid loves going to daycare and we're always delighted by all the fun activities he does during the day. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Teachers are great, hard-worker and incredibly dedicated to the care of our children. The recent administration has also greatly improved over the last year and it's making a lot of processes and communication much smoother. Our kids love JAMI RRDC and we recommend it to your children as well!
