The Creative Curriculum

Inspire Children With Project-Based, Investigative Learning

"Build children’s confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills through hands-on, project-based investigations. Promote discovery and inquiry with opportunities for children to think critically and develop process skills with rich, hands-on investigations of relevant and interesting topics in the classroom. Reinforce learning with family-friendly activities designed for home." -https://teachingstrategies.com

Differentiate Learning for Every Child

"Individualize instruction by understanding how children’s abilities progress and supporting them with unique color-coded progressions that show the typical development of skills from birth through third grade. Effectively scaffold learning experiences to respond to each child’s current strengths and needs, including those with disabilities, with embedded guidance and strategies located on curricular resources." -https://teachingstrategies.com

Promote Language and Literacy Skills

"Each day, utilize daily resources focused on language and literacy skill development, and read aloud using our children’s book collection and Digital Children’s Library from a wide range of genres that explore life in other cultures, celebrate diversity, spark curiosity, and inspire children’s imaginations." -https://teachingstrategies.com

Nurture Mathematics Skill Development

"Throughout the day, include meaningful discussions and applications to develop the essential mathematical process skills of problem-solving, reasoning, communicating, making connections, and representing. Just like these skills are used by children in their daily lives, we integrate mathematics skill each day in our preschool curriculum." -https://teachingstrategies.com
