High/Scope Curriculum
Each classroom is organized accoring to the High/Scope
Curriculum. Each classroom provides a schedule called the Daily Routine.
This provides a consistent routine for both children, teachers and
parents.* "A Daily plan-do-review process (the core of the Daily
Routine gives children the opportunity to decide what they intend
to do, to follow through on their course of action, and then to reflect
on their experiences with other chidren and adults."
Our classrooms are organized in 3 levels following
the sequential process of growth and development from the young toddler
through Preschool.
- Toddler (II): 3 years
- Young Preschooler (III): 4 years
- Preschooler (IV): 4 1/2 years
Each level has specific program goals in each area
of development-emotional, social, physical and cognitive. While all
children progress through these predictable and typical sequences
of growth and change, each child's rate and pattern of growth and
change is different. matching "typical" with the "individual" is
the focus of our efforts.
In order that we may meet each child's developmental
needs, the staff evaluates the child's progress three (3) times a
year. Parents/Guardians will then be scheduled to meet with the teacher
to talk about the child's progress. This report can help the parent/guardian
to monitor the child's "individual" development pattern,
strengths and interests, and it enables our staff to better plan
that child's
daily activites to that he/she will develop to his/her potential.
