The goal of our curriculum is to provide activities and experiences that will help children develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Emergent Reading: Books, music play, manipulatives, board games, learning charts, conversations, and dramatic play help children to develop emergent literacy skills such as oral language, concepts of print, alphabet knowledge and phenomic awarness. Sensory Play: Young children learn so much about the world through their senses. We provide time and an opportunity for even our very young children to explore a variety of materials and mediums. Music Play: We sing, we use rhythm instruments to make music, and we move to music. Art for Young Children: We use a combination of child-directed as well as teacher directed art activities. Outside Play: We have a large outdoor play area for children to develop their fine and gross motor skills. We are outside everyday rain or shine. Dramatic Play: We provide puppets, curtains, costumes and a variety of props for the children to work with. Woven Word: Early Literacy for Life Woven Word is a researched based program developed by the Committee for Children that combines social-emotional learning with emergent literacy skills. Through the use of dialogic reading and a technique called Question with CARE children deepen their understanding of themselves and of others. For more information on this curriculum visit the Committee for Children website at www.cfchildren.org The Guidance of Young Children The purpose of all discipline is to help the child develop inner self-control, acceptable behavior, and respect for others. When problems arise, children are encouraged to solve their own problems verbally. I will intervene to help by offering problem solving alternatives when necessary or with pre-verbal children. |
