The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood
The
Learning Center Preschool has chosen to use The Creative
Curriculum for Early Childhood as a comprehensive
tool for teaching and learning. This curriculum is developmentally
age appropriate and encourages the cognitive, social/emotional,
physical and language development of a child.
In addition, The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood is
research based in order to set and achieve standards and goals
for each age. This goal is accomplished by knowing how children
develop and learn. From this perspective, we acknowledge similarities
and differences, while appreciating general standards and
patterns of growth in all children.
We acknowledge that growth occurs individually and in stages.
The objective is to take a look at various stages of the child’s
growth and access according to these stages.
Observation and documentation are key components in the process
of attaining goals.
Special categories, called Forerunners, helps us to look at
the behaviors which can be used as an assessment for all children’s
learning and development. Those with disabilities or developmental
delays are included in this category.
Each class will have their space organized into different
interest areas, called learning centers. The outdoor areas
will also be utilized in such a way as to include opportunities
to explore and learn.
The centers will include but not be limited to:
 Blocks
Dramatic
Play
Toys and
Games
Art
Library
Science/Discovery
Sand and
Water
Music
and movement
Language
Arts
Cooking
Computers
The role of the teacher will be to guide the children’s
learning through observing and assessing each child’s
progress. Strengths and weakness will be visible and motivation
and support will be supplied to enhance knowledge, skills
and understanding.
Small and large group activities, routines, long term interests
and centers will aide in learning how to assess information
in order to plan and guide this process throughout the day.
The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood takes into account
the importance of the family in educating the young child.
School and family need to work together to build a partnership
and understand the true meaning of taking an active role in
a child’s education.
Communication is a very important tool when dealing with learning
as well as challenging situations.
