curriculum
Building Strong Minds Through Purposeful Play
In Scout Eagles, children dive deeper into academic readiness through engaging, hands-on experiences. Teachers introduce foundational literacy and numeracy concepts using games, storytelling, music, and creative exploration. With plenty of opportunities for experimentation and discovery, preschoolers begin to understand cause and effect, sequence of events, and how to express their ideas through words and artwork.
Deepening Faith Through Understanding and Connection
This age group is especially receptive to stories, songs, and spiritual truths. In Scout Eagles, we introduce more structured Chapel time and deepen their spiritual understanding through Bible stories, role play, and hands-on lessons that connect faith to daily life. Children learn that they are part of God’s big plan and begin to internalize simple truths like “God made me,” “Jesus is my friend,” and “I can talk to God anytime.” Character traits such as honesty, patience, and forgiveness are woven into daily classroom life.
Cultivating Friendships and Growing Independence
Preschoolers are learning how to be part of a group, how to take turns, listen, help others, and solve problems with kindness. Our Scout Eagles program encourages cooperative learning and positive peer interactions, laying the foundation for healthy friendships and emotional resilience. Teachers support each child’s growing independence through classroom jobs, self-care routines, and guided decision-making, helping children feel capable, valued, and ready to take their next big steps.

If you are looking for a place that will actually pay attention to your child and make them feel like home then this is the school for you and trust me you won't regret it! Jenna Hoogstra2023-10-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been attending this school since he was 1. I am astonished by how much he has grown and learned in only a few short months. He paints, plays, sings and learns letters and sounds everyday. He also has made friends. We love the teachers and staff here. So grateful to be apart of this community! Kendall Bierer2023-08-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been attending Neighborhood Kids Wellington Trace for the last three years, and she absolutely loves it! The teachers are so wonderful, the kids have become her besties, and the directors Melissa and Jessica really rock! The nation has been seeing turnover with teachers, but I have to give credit to NK for making sure the kiddos have the best care, curriculum and feel secure--the teachers have absolutely exceeded expectations, and my daughter has adored each and every one of them. When we had to decide where to go for VPK, we looked around, but there is nowhere better than Neighborhood Kids Wellington Trace! We are going to be so sad to say "good-bye" next year.... Thank you, Neighborhood Kids Wellington Trace, for always putting the kids first, loving them through their tantrums and teaching them all they need to know to prepare for the next stages of their education. We feel blessed! Sophia Maritza2023-08-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter has been attending Neighborhood Kids Wellington Trace for three years now, she started in the toddlers class at under the age of 2 and has made her way up to VPK. I couldn’t ask for a better school to put her in, staff is always so accommodating and supportive, the teachers make transitions easy, the directors are always there if you have any questions.They’re extremely communicative through the app and have an open door policy. my little one goes in with a smile on her face and leaves with a smile on her face. Highly highly recommend if you’re looking for a school to put your little in. MacKenzie Sylvia2023-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing school! I was so nervous with my son starting because he has been with me everyday since he was born. But Ms. Melissa and Ms.Jessica reassured me and promised that he would do just fine and love it there. They were right! My son took his classmates and teachers immediately! He loves his teachers and friends and definitely likes going to school! They update me consistently throughout the day with pictures and things he’s doing while at school. I couldn’t ask for a better preschool to send him to!

My child loves it here!" Melissa L2023-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't ask for a better educational/daycare for my child. The entire staff is so warm and inviting, always such good vibes with great kids and sooooo clean! Maggie McCafferty2022-11-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have 2 children that attend the Boynton Beach campus where both Nicole and Sys are in the roles of both director and asst director. Our family could not be happier! Both Nicole and Sys have been an absolute pleasure to connect with regarding every question, request or thought either my husband and I have had regarding our 2 kids and their care at Neighborhood Kids. They are easy to get a hold of, patient, kind and always willing to go the extra mile for their families. Not only have they been amazing, the entire team has as well. The care my kids have received from all of their teachers has been immeasurable. They are all like family to us. The kids love you all and we do too! We are so incredibly blessed! Thank you!!!!
