Our curriculum is developmentally appropriate and is designed according to children’s age and developmental stage. After over 20 years of trying different curriculums, we have chosen our curriculum from different sources such as HighReach Learning, Scholastics, Early SEEDS of Literacy, online resources, trainings, and professional groups we belong to. I use children’s observations and assessments to plan activities based on children’s developmental needs. These assessment tools include ASQ’s (Ages and Stages Questionnaire), ASQ-SE (Ages and Stages Questionnaire Social Emotional), and DRDP (Desired Result Developmental Profile). We also base our teaching practice on Emergent Curriculum, which focuses on children’s individual interests to create more meaningful learning experiences. We scaffold lesson plans according to children’s knowledge and abilities to help them move to the next level. There is a balance of activities including weekly art, music, fine motor and gross motor activities, reading, storytelling, and introduction to academics such as phonics, reading readiness, writing practice, and Kindergarten readiness for preschoolers. Based on children’s dynamic and energy level, sometimes we change the plan to movement and dancing as needed!
