The Creative Curriculum® has five fundamental principles that guide the preschool program:
Positive interactions and relationships with adults provide a critical foundation for successful learning
Social-emotional competence is a significant factor in school success
Constructive, purposeful play supports essential learning
The physical environment affects the type and quality of learning interactions
Teacher/family partnerships promote development and learning
The result of these fundamental principles is a comprehensive curriculum with a clear organizational structure and a particular focus on routines and learning experiences. Developmentally appropriate challenges foster joyful and purposeful learning while they address specific needs.
