| Welcome to RH Babes in Toyland Preschool Our Preschool learning environment is primarily based on The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, developed by Teaching Strategies Inc., used in high-quality early education settings throughout the United States, Canada, and Australia. At the core of The Creative Curriculum for Preschool are well-planned learning centers that allow for child choice and self-directed play, small groups, and supportive teaching that prepares children for academic excellence. The development of language, mathematical reasoning, and scientific thought is emphasized throughout all the centers. Changes to the learning environment, activities, and projects reflect emerging interests and individual goals. Learning centers offer guided experiences that encompass all the skills and understandings necessary for optimum development and success in school. Typical centers include: Language/Library Construction/Blocks Technology/Computers Science Dramatic Play Outdoor Learning Art/Creative Expression Music and Movement Sensory Math/Manipulatives Learning centers are supplemented by any number of independent learning stations designed for use by one or two children. Throughout the day, children make self-directed and guided choices, participate in small groups and projects, join in circle-times with the whole group, and reflect upon their learning experiences. children are guided to critical learning experiences that form the building blocks of healthy development. Using The Creative Curriculum for Preschool and knowledge of the children and families as a framework, teachers use theirtalent and expertise to design, adapt, and invent learning centers that best serve the children in the room. |
