PRESCHOOL
Curriculum |
Our program will use the following guidelines when planning classroom curriculum:
Vermont Early Learning Standards: Guiding the Development and Learning of Children Entering Kindergarten
Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities
The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, 4th Edition
|
The daily curriculum will cover the eight child development domains outlined in the Vermont Early Learning Standards. These include:
Approaches to Learning
Social and emotional Development
Language, Literacy and Communication
Mathematics/Science
Social Studies
Creative Expression
Physical Development and Health
|
 |
Our curriculum incorporates developmentally appropriate practices. Items which are relevant and specific to children and their
families are included in the daily curriculum. The primary goal of the curriculum is to promote social, emotional, physical, and intellectual
growth in a warm nurturing environment, which lets each and every child know he/she is a special, worthwhile person. |
The classrooms contain a wide variety of materials and equipment which make learning exciting.
They have been selected to promote intellectual curiosity, love of music and art, the expression of feelings through dramatic play and stories, and the development of fine and gross motor skills. Our classrooms will be divided into interest areas including,
but not limited to, blocks, discovery, manipulative materials such as games and toys, sensory such as sand and water, dramatic play,
library, music and movement, creative arts and outdoor investigations.
