Unleash Creativity with the Creative Curriculum: A Preschool Revolution

Ignite a Lifelong Love of Learning

The Creative Curriculum is a research-based, comprehensive curriculum designed to foster children's development and learning in preschool settings. It provides a framework for teachers to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences that support children's social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development.

What is the Creative Curriculum?

• Child-Centered: The curriculum focuses on meeting the individual needs and interests of each child.

• Play-Based: Play is recognized as a powerful tool for learning, and the curriculum provides ample opportunities for children to engage in meaningful play experiences.

• Teacher-Guided: Teachers play an active role in guiding children's learning and providing them with the support they need to succeed.

• Developmentally Appropriate: The curriculum is aligned with children's developmental milestones and provides them with challenging yet achievable learning experiences.

How is the Creative Curriculum Implemented?

• Interest areas: Classrooms are organized into interest areas, such as art, blocks, dramatic play, and literacy, that provide children with opportunities to explore their interests and learn through play.

• Small group activities: Teachers lead small group activities that focus on specific learning objectives and provide children with opportunities to interact with their peers and develop social skills.

• Large group activities: Teachers lead large group activities that promote community building and provide children with opportunities to learn from one another.

• Outdoor play: The curriculum recognizes the importance of outdoor play and provides opportunities for children to engage in physical activity and explore the natural world.
