The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood Our Philosophy The philosophy behind our curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Learning isn't just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in. In their early years, children explore the world around them by using all their senses (touching, tasting, listening, smelling, and looking). In using real materials such as blocks and trying out their ideas, children learn about sizes, shapes, and colors, and they notice relationships between things. In time, they learn to use one object to stand for another. This is the beginning of symbolic thinking. For example, they might pretend a stick is an airplane or a block is a hamburger. These early symbols - the stick and the block - are similar in shape to the objects they represent. Gradually children become more and more able to use abstract symbols like words to describe their thoughts and feelings. They learn to "read" pictures which are symbols of real people, places and things. This exciting development in symbolic thinking takes place during the pre-school years as children play. Play provides the foundation for academic or "school" learning. It is the preparation children need before they learn highly abstract symbols such as letters (which are symbols for sounds) and numbers (which are symbols for number concepts). Play enables us to achieve the key goals of our early childhood curriculum. Play is the work of young children.

ABOUT US CRISIS SERVICES HOUSING PROGRAMS CIRCLES of SUPPORT ... HOME KOOASCA Head Start Curriculum Parents are the most important people in their child’s world; they are also their child’s first and primary teachers. In Head Start we work side by side with parents in supporting children’s learning. Our primary Curriculum is the Creative Curriculum . The most important goals of our preschool curriculum are for children to get along well with others and become enthusiastic learners. We want children to become independent, self-confident, curious learners who can work well with others. We are teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but all through their lives. We do this by creating purposeful and productive play experiences that help children grow in all areas. The Creative Curriculum child outcomes are used to help teachers keep track of children’s skills, behaviors, and achievements while in Head Start, and to report children’s progress to their parents. Three times a year, using the Creative Curriculum® assessment tool , Head Start teachers chart children’s progress in areas ranging from ability to follow directions to their knowledge of the alphabet. The teachers electronically record the scores in a database, which graphs children’s progress. These graphs give parents a clear picture of their child’s progress throughout the year. Teachers have access to your child’s outcomes and can give you the information you need to access them yourself. “Opening the World of Learning” (OWL) curriculum.

Campaign FAQs Head Start Curriculum Head Start program’s education philosophy is based on a solid foundation of research that shows that early childhood is a stage of life in which children are most receptive for learning. In keeping with this philosophy, we use the Creative Curriculum, a widely known and respected curriculum that closely aligns with Head Start National Performance Standards as well as State of Connecticut Goals and Benchmarks. Creative Curriculum is based on the idea that children need to be taught in ways that match the way they develop and learn. This is known as developmentally appropriate practice, and it is at the root of the curriculum. The program’s goals in using this curriculum are as follows: Promote the social/emotional, physical, cognitive and language development of all children.

CURRICULUM [Main] [Schedule] The Pre-K/Head Start Program's curriculum is based on The Creative Curriculum by Diane Trister Dodhe and Laura J Colker. It offers the child enrolled varied opportunities to learn all areas: social, emotional, cognitive, creative and physical. Although the program always appears very informal and flexible, the curriculum and environment are the result of careful and detailed planning based on the best available knowledge of child growth and development. In planning, the teacher considers the group needs, ideas, and interests. Observations are done at the beginning of the year and results are used to determine yearly educational goals for each child. In early childhood classroom, how the curriculum is taught is as important as what is taught. Process is as important as product for young children. Since we know that young children learn best through activity and experimentation with concrete objects, the major emphasis is on learning through play. Large blocks of free, uninterrupted time are made available and each child is free to choose from a wide variety of thoughtfully chosen materials and experiences. Warm and understanding teachers are always available to give any needed help in moving learning forward. Children move from one learning center to another as their interests and needs dictate. The Pre-K/ Head Start Program features an integrated day with themes, units of study and seasonal topics woven into the children's work in classroom learning center, individualized activities, and small and large group activities. Weekly and biweekly units are based on children's developmental levels, interests, and learning styles.

OFFICE OF HEAD START Curriculum Head Start Curriculum (Ages 3-5) The curriculum of choice is the Creative Curriculum for Preschoolers 4th Edition which uses an environmentally based approach to learning. Instructors provide materials to initiate and then guide learning in literacy, math, science, social studies, the arts and technology. More than having a well organized classroom focusing on children's interests, the Creative Curriculum teaches Instructors to observe purposely, using their observations to plan for the entire class and small groups of children, as well as individual needs. The curriculum supports each child's innate ability to be curious to explore the world and make sense of their experiences in a meaningful context. Instructors observe and collect samples of children's work, using the documentation to note progress on the Developmental Continuum. What is the Developmental Continuum? In essence, it is a road map used to determine where each child is developmentally. It is used to track their progress as well as for planning learning experiences while in the Head Start classrooms or on home visits. All children, including children with special needs, feel comfortable and feel they belong. They are helped to become independent and confident learners.
