[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What type of curriculum is this? It is called developmentally inappropriate curriculum.[/quote] +1 I don’t know anything about the emergent curriculum but we chose a preschool with highly qualified educators who understand that kids learn through play and set up stations that allow them to explore activities that expose them to all sorts of academic concepts naturally. They read books about shapes and lines and squiggles and there are pens and markers available for them to try to recreate those shapes and THAT is the correct way for preschoolers to “prep” for kindergarten. Not to sit down and start tracing out real letters and be told to master their name. (Naturally curiosity will bring a lot of preschoolers to the point where they ask about the letters in their name but a curriculum that says they all learn it is not appropriate.) Try looking up Reggio Emilia schools. [/quote]
