The Creative Curriculum for Transitional Kindergarten (TK) is a comprehensive educational program designed to meet the unique needs of children aged 4 to 51. Here’s a brief overview:
- Whole-Child Approach: The curriculum nurtures development and learning through a whole-child approach, fostering all areas of a child’s development and learning1. This includes expanding their literacy, math, and science skills, helping them manage their emotions, evolve their sense of empathy, and build healthy relationships.
- Individualized Instruction: The curriculum provides detailed guidance to individualize instruction with progressions of learning from birth through age 81. It respects each child’s distinct learning style and meets young learners wherever they are in their skill development journey1.
- Cross-Curricular Learning: The curriculum guides rigorous, cross-curricular learning through project-based studies that harness the power of play1. It engages children in hands-on investigations that resonate with their daily lives and spark their natural curiosity1.
- Family Engagement: The curriculum ensures that children’s families are engaged and their teachers are supported every step of the way1. It includes resources for families, such as monthly student issues, family bulletins, and family activities.
