CREATIVE CURRICULUM

The Creative Curriculum is a developmentally appropriate, research-based curriculum, 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.

The six (6) units of study include: 

  • Beginning of the Year (4 weeks)

  • Clothing (6 weeks)

  • Trees (6 weeks)

  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (6 weeks)

  • Buildings (6 weeks)

  • Balls (6 weeks)

They contain everything teachers need to know to build and implement a high-quality preschool program.  The Creative Curriculum is aligned with the Preschool Learning Foundations and is designed to prepare children for the academic demands of Kindergarten
