At KiddieLand, we utilize a HighScope-inspired curriculum that creates a dynamic and engaging learning experience especially for our older children. This approach fosters independent learning, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of discovery, all within a structured and nurturing environment.
The HighScope Curriculum is a research-based educational framework focused on active learning, where children engage directly with materials, people, and ideas. This method encourages critical thinking and problem-solving through a well-organized daily routine that emphasizes hands-on experiences.
In our classrooms, children take an active role in their learning journey. Through hands-on activities and exploration, they develop essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our educators provide diverse materials and opportunities to nurture their natural curiosity and creativity.
Plan: Children decide what they want to do and outline their activities with guidance from teachers.
Do: They carry out their plans, engaging in purposeful activities and making discoveries along the way.
Review: Afterward, they reflect on what they did, what they learned, and how they can use that knowledge in future activities.
Social and Emotional Development: Building strong relationships and understanding emotions.
Language and Literacy: Enhancing communication and early literacy through conversations, storytelling, and reading.
Mathematics and Science: Encouraging exploration and problem-solving through hands-on activities.
Physical Development: Promoting motor skills through active play and physical challenges.
Morning Meeting: Time to plan the day and engage in group activities.
Work Time: Children choose and pursue their activities in self-directed play.
Recall Time: A chance to reflect on the day’s experiences and share with peers.
Large Group Activities: Sessions that encourage social interaction and group learning.
Learning Centers: Dedicated spaces for different types of play and learning, such as art, science, and construction.
Materials: Developmentally appropriate materials that stimulate exploration and growth.
Qualified Educators: Teachers who facilitate active learning and offer individualized support.
With our HighScope-inspired curriculum, children get chance to learn by doing—through active participation, exploring new ideas, and growing their problem-solving skills. It’s a fun and hands-on way to build the confidence and abilities they’ll need for both school and life.
