 Teaching Strategies or Creative Curriculum is used for our Infant and Toddlers individualized learning. We believe that the best way to help children succeed is to teach them to be creative, confident thinkers. That means offering them opportunities for hands-on exploration and discovery that help build lifelong critical thinking skills and foster confidence. Creative Curriculum®  provides teachers with the content and tools needed to encourage and support every type of learner and address all the important areas of learning.

​

Creative Curriculum®  is a research-based, comprehensive collection of knowledge building and daily practice resources that explains the “what,” “why,” and “how” of teaching. “What” and “why” are explained in the six curriculum volumes that make up The Foundation. They contain everything teachers need to know to build and implement a high-quality preschool program. “How” is provided by way of step-by-step guidance found in the Daily Resources. These include Teaching Guides and additional instructional tools that provide a wealth of ideas and detailed plans for filling every day with meaningful and engaging experiences designed for all children. Special support helps teachers individualize for English- and dual-language learners in the classroom. What’s more, the curriculum takes the guesswork out of meeting the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework and early learning standards for each state..

Our centers consider each child a unique individual and focus on utilizing the staff, supplies and equipment that will facilitate the productive growth and development of the child. The curriculum allows for adaptations to the environment and modifications to ensure success for all children.
