Teachers hold the key. Choosing Weekday Curriculum Curriculum is the guide for a child's total experience while in the weekday program. It must be carefully selected to include the elements that make up a positive preschool experience. Learning activities allow children to move about as they choose a Center, work a puzzle, draw a picture, play in the Homeliving Center, or enjoy a book. As a teacher develops activities related to a unit theme, creative expression in art, writing, manipulatives, music, and other activities belong to the child.
Every child is creative.
The experience rather than the finished product is the goal. Children become confident as they use their own ideas. Plans for group-time should always consider the age of the preschooler and his short attention span. The same phrases and verses should be used throughout the unit of teaching. When preschoolers are allowed to move around, express their own creativity, and choose what interests them, they will be successful, relate positively, and enjoy learning.
