State Standards and Curriculum

Our enriched education program is based on the Creative Curriculum and cross walked with the Pennsylvania Early Childhood Education Standards. Specifically, the Creative Curriculum emphasizes

• play based learning for math and literacy skills
• developmentally appropriate, planned activities for preschool-aged children
• the environment
• is researched-based and
• children using critical thinking skills and solving problems.

Note: Strong components of the curriculum include the significance of the teachers’ and the parents’ role in creating an environment that supports children’s learning and their interests.

The curriculum also reflects our Judeo Christian heritage with the message of God’s love in song and prayer. Children will learn to be kind, loving and tolerant towards others. The Ann Harris Smith Little People’s Place is a loving and happy environment for your child!
