Learning Curriculum
Kind Hearts Day Care offers an educational preschool curriculum. Our curriculum is based on Creative Curriculum. My staff and I also attend 20 to 50 hours of training each year which helps with our curriculum.
Our preschool is conducted nine months out of the year. Each child is encouraged to participate in our daily preschool activities. Our preschool program is age and skill appropriate for ages 2 to 5 years of age. Children participate in a variety of individual and group activities designed to develop language and reading readiness skills, enhancing physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth, skills and attitudes which will increase their ability to be prepared for kindergarten.
Daily activities are designed to provide appropriate experiences in the following early childhood development areas.
Information on Creative Curriculum
At the hearts of the Kind Hearts Day Care approach to early childhood education is “The Creative Curriculum,” the country's leading scientifically based, comprehensive curriculum for programs serving birth to age 12.
We believe our curriculum should be integrated with high-quality assessments, professional, development, and family connection resources to create a well-rounded program that address the needs of early childhood education professionals, children, and their families.
“The Creative Curriculum,” helps us plan and implement a developmentally appropriate program that promotes children's social-emotional development and learning in the core areas of literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies.
It combines the latest research and the freshest ideas into a forward-thinking approach to learning—one that honors creativity and respects the role that teachers play in making learning exciting and relevant for every child in their classrooms.
“The Creative Curriculum,” unique approach is designed to inspire teachers, to help them create a high-quality learning environment and, most of all, to support their important efforts as they open doors to successful learning.
With “The Creative Curriculum,” our program can put together a complete system that promotes positive outcomes for all children, including English-language learners, children with disabilities, and advanced learners.
“The Creative Curriculum,” is based on five fundamental principles. “The Creative Curriculum,” guides practice and helps us understand the reasons for intentionally setting up and operating programs in particular ways. The principles include:
*Positive interactions and relationships with adults and provide a critical foundation for successful learning.
*Social-emotional competence is a significant factor in school success.
*Constructive, purposeful play supports essential learning.
*The physical environment affects the type and quality of learning interaction.
*Teacher-family partnership promotes development and learning.
The physical environment of our classroom has a profound effect on individual children, the group as a whole, and the teachers. We want to provide a physical setting that is safe attractive, comfortable, and well designed to help children engage in the activities we offer each child. “The Creative Curriculum,” includes interest areas, which are ideal for children to explore, make things, experiment, and pursue their interests. “The Creative Curriculum,” classrooms has defined interest areas for dramatic play, block building, toys, games, art, looking at books, writing, and sand and water play, and discovery table, cooking activities, musical instruments, and computers.
