Curriculum
All Day Early Learning preschool and pre-K classrooms utilize The Creative Curriculum, a research-based early child care and education curriculum. The learning objectives of this curriculum are aligned with Indiana’s Early Learning Foundations and include child-directed activities that address language & literacy, math, science, social-emotional, and physical development.
Your child’s classroom will have an individualized lesson plan posted every week. Each activity on the lesson plan is purposeful and intentionally planned based on the teachers’ observations of each child in the classroom.
To support language development and emergent writing skills, teachers:
- Encourage children to use more complex sentences.
- Encourage children to contribute to group conversations.
- Encourage children to retell familiar stories using props.
- Help children recognize their own name in print.
- Provide tools for children to create writing marks in sand and other media with a stylus.
- Help children begin to recognize most uppercase and some lowercase letters.
- Encourage children to draw to tell stories, dictate their stories to their teachers, and use invented spellings to label their work.
- Encourage children to retell familiar stories using props.
Children use math to solve problems, create plans and interpret the world around them. To encourage the exploration of math concepts, teachers:
- Provide board games with opportunities to count and compare quantities.
- Encourage children to match patterns of items and create their own patterns.
- Have children help set the table, count items to ensure that each member of the class has what they need.
- Encourage children to talk about the sequence of events.
- Encourage children to create and extend patterns.
- Encourage children to name and write numbers 0-10.
- Use position terms such as above, below, beside and between.
Children are given opportunities to engage in hands-on scientific exploration and predict outcomes of experiments. To help children explore science concepts, teachers:
- Encourage children to sort objects based on different attributes and explain their reasoning.
- Plan scientific experiments such as:
- Mixing baking soda and vinegar and have children observe what happens.
- Experiment with colored water so children can examine primary colors and create secondary colors.
- Plant seeds and have children predict growth patterns and document their observations.
- Provide classroom objects to create simple machines to enhance their play.
Our teachers help children learn how to:
- Identify their emotions and the emotions of others.
- Use words and actions to effectively express how they feel.
- Regulate their emotions with adult support, if needed.
- Maintain friendships.
- Play with peers for an extended period of time.
The curriculum incorporates (large) motor development and also personal care routines. Children learn to:
- Provide balls, bean bags and materials for children to roll, throw, bounce and catch.
- Encourage children to collect, dump and fill small objects, whether they are natural materials like leaves, seeds, shells and rocks or they are toys to bring outdoors.
- Teach children how to garden and plant seeds or care for plants.
