My Mission At Woodley Road Pre School

The Creative Curriculum model focuses on meeting children’s basic needs, providing safe and healthy environments, supports learning through play, and encourages teachers to foster learning through positive, meaningful interactions. Creative Curriculum also focuses on developing the whole child. As children explore materials, objects, and their indoor and outdoor environments they are enabled to make connections to previous knowledge and enhance their cognitive, social/emotional, physical, and language and literacy skills. According to the Foundation for Early Childhood Education, Inc. (n. d.) the goal of Creative Curriculum is to (1) help children become enthusiastic learners, (2) help children become independent, self-confident, and inquisitive learners (foundationheadstart.org). Creative Curriculum methods enable young children to learn at their own pace, engage in social and emotional learning, and learn how to

Their main objective is to create a safe educational environment for the children to learn in to help them develop in all areas. The setting offers a variety of activities for the children to take part in which will develop areas of their holistic development which will work with the children to reach the goals set for them.

The first component of the creative curriculum is how children develop and learn. The preschool years are a special time in the life of a young child. They gain independence, self-control, learn to take initiative, and assert themselves in socially acceptable ways. At the same time, they become keen observers of their world and

Research has shown that healthy friendships in which close ties emerge are developed when parents provide a warm and supportive home environment (Feldman, 2014). Children emulate positive social interactions and roles, which they learn from the adults in their lives who they model after. Children living in healthy family systems develop a strong and positive relationship with their parents or caregiver and will encourage positive relationships with others.

Being able to build positive relationships with others helps children and young people to gain the most from being in school and is important to ensure the communication of information between children and the adults responsible for them. We are more likely to build a positive relationship with someone when we can communicate effectively with them.

When babies and young children feel valued, secure and trust the people around them, they are more likely to thrive and achieve their developmental goals. Certain areas of development are linked to the strength of attachment that children have with those around them, especially emotional and language development. We also know that children learn from those they have a strong bond with and so cognitive development can also be linked to strong relationships. This is of course equally true with their primary carer, for example their parents, as well as with their key person in their setting.

This approach focuses on creativity as a process and how new ideas emerge.  Theorist Graham Wallas proposed a five stage model and focused on the unconscious mind:

good teaching. All children grow and thrive in the context of close and dependable relationships that provide love and nurturance, security, and responsive interactions. A positive adult-child relationship

When a child’s early experiences are chaotic and one or both parents are absent these causes the brain to become stressed and make the child feel insecure. The NCCP states, “Many children whose mothers suffer from depression lack healthy brain development” (NCCP). This can lead the child to have trouble connecting with classmates and lack of social skills. The article also mentions, “Daily interaction plays an important role in a child’s emotional and mental development” (NCCP). Positive interactions not only with classmates but also parents or adults can also help a child become more secure of themselves and allow them to ambition greater things than that of their parents. Overall, relationships between teachers and students are important. Poverty is a factor to the lack of social skills in children because the lack of positive role models in the

The name of my center is Kiddie Klubhouse. My mission for this center is to provide children to be part of a learning environment where they’re nurtured and they experience many opportunities to learn and grow, and to provide developmentally appropriate children activities, play, and projects to promote their physical, social, and emotional development. My vision is align the programs standards, curriculum, and projects to NAEYC quality standards, make it based on the research and studies related to early childhood education, and implement children’s experiences, interests, beliefs, and values in the learning environment. .

Relationships and positive interactions in children while growing up form the basis for their learning and development and this is determined by each child’s unique and personal attributes (National Infant & Toddler Child Care Initiative, 2010; Clinton, 2013). In order for children to make and keep friends, Stephens (2002, p. 1-2) reported that they must “recognize shared interests, gracefully join into play, pay attention to non-verbal communication cues, identify common goal, listen to and respect feelings, empathize with another person’s perspective, practice compassion, cooperate, accept others, include others and extend a trust-worthy, helping hand.” Development is a deliberate process and action, therefore, children have the innate desire

Early childhood is a time full of curiosity, exploration, creativity, excitement, and rapid development. During these formative years, children develop attitudes about education that remain with them for the rest of their lives (Kostelnik, Soderman, & Whiren, 2011). High quality early childhood education programs and highly effective, passionate teachers or care providers will not only promote young children’s development and academic achievement but will also foster a lifelong passion for learning. ECE programs and educators utilize learning centers to contribute to young children’s acquisition of literacy, numeracy, creative thinking, problem solving, and motor skills as well as a number of other skills and knowledge (Jarrett, 2010).

Because self-esteem is influenced by so many different things (e.g. society, media, friends, etc…) it is very important that parents and caretakers take the proper steps in helping a child develop a strong sense of who they are (Nuttall, 1991). By the time a child reaches three years of age they have experienced a very wide range of emotions (Cluff, N.D.) Parents, teachers and caregivers will lay the foundation upon which a child emotionally develops (Cluff, N.D.). Positive emotional development is important for children because this will not only determine their ability to develop healthy relationships with their peers but also how to successfully deal with their own emotions (Cluff, N.D.). Many theorists agree that there is a connection between a child’s emotional levels and development; they also
