Preschool Curriculum
Our qualified teachers use Creative Curriculum and Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment as the framework for the curriculum. A safe environment to grow and explore spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally, and physically within our care is created every day for our learners.
What is Creative Curriculum?
Creative Curriculum helps early childhood programs create a high-quality learning environment that enables every child to become a creative, confident thinker. It provides a framework for creating an effective classroom for children to learn based on research and theory.
There are five components that form this framework:
Understanding what preschool children are like and knowing the developmental characteristics of various age groups.
How Children Develop & Learn
Creating a well-organized classroom and establishing interest areas, including blocks, dramatic play, toys and games, art, library, science, music, and sensory.
Creating a daily schedule with consistent routines.
Developing age-appropriate lesson plans that are prepared with intentional teaching goals and objectives.
The Learning Environment
Developing knowledge in the areas of literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and technology.
What Children Learn
Building a relationship with each child and helping children build positive relationships with each other.
Assessing children’s learning through observing, analyzing, evaluating, and planning according to each child’s needs.
Caring & Teaching
Developing partnerships with families to work together to support their child’s development and learning.
Partnering with Families
Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment
Teaching Strategies Gold is a formal assessment tool that we use to measure each child’s progress. It helps teachers obtain information in all areas of development and learning including social-emotional, physical, language, and cognitive, as well as content learning in literacy, mathematics, science and technology, social studies, and the arts. This information guides teachers to make decisions regarding each child’s learning, individualize their developmental needs and monitor their ongoing progress. The assessment helps the teachers support your child’s learning and identifies any special needs.
