[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does creative curriculum compare to Montessori?[/quote]

Totally, completely, different.

Creative Curriculum is a curriculum put together and followed strictly:  on this week we are studying recycling, so the classrooms will do activities A, B and C and read books X, Y, and Z.  Next week we are studying trees, with specific activities, books and materials used for tree week (or sometimes they do the same theme for 2 weeks).  it wants the activities to be developmentally appropriate, but it isn't a philosophy of how and what children learn, how the teachers work with the children, etc.

Montessori is a philosophy that has certain beliefs in how a child learns, who a child is as a preschooler, what should be in their environment,   hat types of materials to use in the classroom and how they are used, the reasoning for how they are used, how a teacher acts and behaves, and how to offer materials and why.

The Reggio Emiilia Approach is a philosophy that has certain beliefs in how a child learns, who a child is as a preschooler, what should be in their environment,   hat types of materials to use in the classroom and how they are used, the reasoning for how they are used, how a teacher acts and behaves, and how to offer materials and why.[/quote]
