OUR PHILIOSOPHY & THE CREATIVE CURRICULUM
Kids ‘R’ Kids on Johnson Ferry uses the Creative Curriculum, a research-based,
developmentally appropriate curriculum for pre-schoolers. Using this framework,
our teachers are able to teach in the ways that best match the way in which we know
young children develop and learn.
Children learn best by doing, and the Creative Curriculum uses a developmental
“hands-on” approach built around weekly or monthly themes. During each week we
address all areas of development: social, emotional, physical (large and small
motor), cognitive and language development. Lesson plans are usually prepared
weekly and posted in each classroom. There is a balance between teacher-directed
and child-initiated activities. Our classrooms are set up in a learning center
configuration, which allows each child to choose his/her activities in the different
classroom areas. The activities in each learning center are planned by the teachers to
facilitate discovery learning. Our daily schedule includes large group, small group,
and individual activities as well as learning center times. The children are guided
and encouraged to learn new self-help skills, think for themselves, make choices,
experiment, explore, make mistakes, and have a lot of fun in the process.
