Educational Goals
In Sparta, we use the Creative Curriculum Program for our PreK classes. The Creative Curriculum focuses on fostering independent, self-confident, inquisitive, and enthusiastic learners by actively exploring their environment. The philosophy of The Creative Curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Our program is built on the theory of development in young children, that all children learn through active exploration of their environment, and therefore their environment plays a critical role in learning. Our goals focus on the following six areas of development:
Social/Emotional
Cognitive
Physical and Language
Motor skills
Academic Learning
Adaptive skills
