Educational philosophy and administration

Dunbar Early Learning Center uses the Frog Street curriculum. According to the curriculum’s publisher, Frog Street “is a comprehensive, research-based program that integrates instruction across developmental domains and early learning disciplines.” Frog Street includes “an extensive integration of theme, disciplines, and domains” along with social/emotional development via the Conscious Discipline method. DELC’s mission statement also addresses their approach: “Our unique programs incorporate a variety of educational theories, while always keeping the child’s best interest in mind and allowing for hands-on, experiential learning.” Enrichment activities include dance, swimming, and trips to local nature centers and museums.
