Curriculum
Our Discovery Learning Curriculum uses PreschoolFirst™, a research-based, validated developmental assessment system interwoven with play-based curriculum; PreschoolFirst™ online system is based upon Dr. Sally Flagler’s infant-Preschool Play Assessment Scale (I-PAS) and developmental milestones by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
With PreschoolFirst™, a teacher can even find developmental behaviors and learning activities aligned with Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards. This integrated, formative approach ensures early childhood educators foster the learning and development of all children.
PreschoolFirst™ curriculum:
- Offers a library of hands-on early learning experiences that incorporate social experiences and play behaviors from the following developmental domains: Cognition, Communication, Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Social Emotional and Sensorimotor for very young infants.
- Helps educators use developmentally appropriate “best practices” in the field of early childhood and build a high quality program.
- Streamlines curriculum planning with easy-to-use tools so teachers plan rich play opportunities for groups and individuals, and have more times to spend with children.
