INNOVATIONS: COMPREHENSIVE PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM

Responding to children’s interests is at the heart of emergent curriculum and central to the Innovations approach to early childhood education. Designed for teachers of three- to five-year-olds, Innovations: The Comprehensive Preschool Curriculum focuses on encouraging, facilitating, and stimulating children’s development. It addresses major developmental milestones that all preschool children face, such as adjusting to school, making friends, exploring roles, communicating, and problem solving. This book focuses on seven critical components that contribute to a successful preschool program: Observation/Assessment Tools, Developmental Tasks, Experiences and Activities, Interactive Experiences, Child Development Theory, The Classroom Environment and Family Participation and Involvement.
