The Creative Curriculum educational approach has been successfully used with children, typical or special needs, since the 1980’s. The Creative Curriculum bases its educational approach on the idea that all children progress and learn through interactions with the social and physical environment. Based on this idea, an open framework consisting of a set of guiding principles and practices was created for teachers to follow as they work with children of all age levels. This open framework allows teachers the flexibility to adapt the learning environment to the unique and special needs of the children that comprise their classroom.
The most important goal of this curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. The goal is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We’re teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool and kindergarten, but all through their lives. Each child is allowed to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We’re giving them good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make s difference throughout their years.
A Brighter Day Early Learning Academy embraces the Creative Curriculum approach. The Center’s teachers utilize this approach in their daily classroom activities. Due to the inclusive nature of A Brighter Day Early Learning Academy, great care is taken to ensure active and equal participation of all children. If you find that teaching staff/center has activities planned that are against your religion please inform staff and front office of such activities.
