At The Robins Nest, we are dedicated to nurturing a love of learning in every child by adhering to Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS). These standards provide a comprehensive framework outlining the essential knowledge and skills necessary for children from birth to kindergarten entry, as well as guidelines for their development through pre-kindergarten to grade 12. By focusing on these core competencies, we equip our students with the tools they need for future academic success and life beyond the classroom. Furthermore, the Standards Resource Guides detail developmentally appropriate teaching practices and highlight enriching learning experiences, serving as a valuable resource for early care and education providers in a variety of settings.

At The Robins Nest, we use Learning Beyond Paper (LBP), a digital early learning curriculum designated to make education engaging and interactive for young children. This program blends play-based and research-based activities that build communication, problem-solving, and social-emotional skills. LBP supports educators with ready to use lesson plans aligned with Ohio's Early Learning and Development Standards, helping teachers create purposeful learning moments in every classroom. By using this curriculum, The Robins Nest ensures that each child receives developmentally appropriate experiences that prepare them to succeed in school and beyond.

The Robins Nest is proud to be a Step Up to Quality (Gold Rated) center, recognizing our commitment to excellence in early childhood education. The Gold rating signifies that we go beyond Ohio's minimum licensing standards, maintaining high-quality practices that support better learning educators engaged in ongoing professional development, research based curriculum and assessment tools aligned with Ohio's Early Learning and Development Standards, and strong family and community partnerships that enrich each child's experience.
