High/Scope Curriculum

Each classroom is organized according to the High/Scope Curriculum. Each classroom provides a schedule called the Daily Routine. This provides a consistent routine for 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 children 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 to 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 activities so that he/she will develop to his/her potential.
