The Creative Curriculum is the guide for all of the programs at Vincentian Child Discovery Center. The Creative Curriculum offers the framework for schedules, physical classroom environments, and activity planning for each classroom. The teachers in each classroom develop a weekly lesson plan.
The activities that are planned for in the lesson plan support the development of skills outlined in the PA Early Learning Standards. The teachers use their own observations of the children in the class and their own education of child development when planning activities.
Cognitive, large, and small muscle, social and emotional skills are all developed during free play experiences. Teachers use free play periods to facilitate learning experiences and also to observe the development of the children in the group. Social and emotional skills are prominent in every classroom. These skills provide the foundation for all learning. Each age group focus on social and emotional development that is appropriate for the group.
