Philosophy of Bubbles Curriculum
The
curriculum is based on the belief that children learn best through
“active learning,” direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects,
events, and ideas. Children are encouraged to “construct’ their own
knowledge by pursuing their personal interests and goals, guided by
trained adults who understand the important learning areas for children
in the preschool years. Active learning is central to all the
activities in the program, whether planned by adults or initiated by
children.
KIDS edge philosophy in other words reflects in its 3 C’s Curriculum- Child, Content and Context.
What does this curriculum include?Curriculum Content
Preschool Key Developmental Indicators (Key Experiences)
“Key
developmental indicators” (KDls) are early childhood milestones that
guide teachers as they plan & assess learning experiences &
interact with children to support learning. The term “key developmental
indicators” replaces the term “key experiences.” The 58 KDls match the
58 preschool key experiences, but they have been reorganized under the
following five curriculum content areas: approaches to learning;
language, literacy, & communication; social & emotional
development; physical development, health, & well-being; & arts
& sciences. Arts & sciences are further divided into these
subjects: mathematics, science & technology, social studies, &
the arts. These content areas, based on the school readiness dimensions
of the National Educational Goals Panel, align readily with national
& state early learning standards.
