Emergent Curriculum
Read on to see how we celebrate
authentic accomplishments
by nurturing the whole child and their unique process of learning.
​
Step 1
Exploration
Children are naturally inclined to learn about
the world around them.
A unit of study emerges
from our group's play
and unique interests.
Step 2
Observation
The teacher observes when children are fascinated
or finding joy
in new knowledge.
​
New concepts may be introduced
to inspire further thought,
by invitations to play.
​
Step 3
Planning
Questions are formed.
Guided and open-ended activities are planned
to support a unit of study
and answer questions.
​​
​
Step 4
Collaboration
Collaborative ideas are often added by the children!
The learning environment transforms
to support the levels and interests of the children.
