PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM

https://kidscube.in/
 Curriculum:
Curriculum is a standards-based sequence of planned experiences where students practice and
achieve proficiency in content and applied learning skills. Curriculum is the central guide for all
educators as to what is essential for teaching and learning, so that every student has access to rigorous
academic experiences.
In dictionaries, curriculum is often defined as the courses offered by a school, but it is rarely used in such a
general sense in schools. An individual teacher's curriculum, for example, would be the specific learning
standards, lessons, assignments, and materials used to organize and teach a particular course.
Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular subject matter or discipline. For example,
a subject-centered curriculum may focus on math or biology. This type of curriculum design tends to
focus on the subject rather than the individual.

 What is Preschool Curriculum:

plans for experiences through which children's learning will take place.” Developmentally Appropriate Practice
in Early Childhood Programs, NAEYC (2009) p.
Preschools curriculum:
The entire span of lessons and content that your child will be taught during the course of preschool education is
what's known as the preschool curriculum. In some settings, preschools are also able to help children complete
their toilet training.
Purpose of a curriculum in preschool:
Curriculum, or the content of what children learn, is central to supporting and strengthening young children's
learning and development because it is the “front line” of children's experiences. Curriculum is different from
beliefs about children, pedagogy, learning standards, and children's skills.

 Importance of Curriculum:
How does a strong preschool curriculum benefit children:
◦ With strong pre-literacy, cognition, and math foundation skills, they are less likely to struggle or have a
negative experience in school. The emotional skills and understanding of the world that children develop
while they are young will help them become constructive members of society as they grow.
Importance of curriculum in early childhood:
◦ It's important because it clearly describes what you want children to learn; what child outcomes you are
aiming for. Curriculum describes the sequence - the “what comes next” for the child to learn and you to
teach so that the child moves closer to your intended learning outcome.
