| We are sure you have many questions about Creative Discoveries Curriculum Kits. Here are some answers to common questions. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact us at sales@creativediscoverieskits.com |
- Is this curriculum kit developmentally appropriate?
• Absolutely! Creative Discoveries Curriculum Kits were designed by a team of child development specialists who are dedicated to a developmentally appropriate approach to learning. They understand that children learn best when they are having fun. They also know that complete, high quality resources like these encourage children to explore a wide variety of open-ended materials. Since there is no "one right way ", all children are successful and build self-esteem by participating in activities that are just right for them.
- Will this kit help me organize my day and reduce preparation time?
• Definitely! Each curriculum kit focuses on themes which help to keep your curriculum organized, allowing children to study an area of interest in depth and providing opportunities for children to make significant intellectual connections.
- I have a toddler, 2 preschoolers and an afterschool child. How will this kit meet all of their needs?
• The projects contained in the kits are engaging and open-ended, allowing even the youngest children to use their imaginations, think creatively, and discover important concepts. The activities can be approached in many ways, with no right or wrong results. The wide range of materials and methods will appeal to children with varied interests and learning styles. Suggestions for adapting activities to accommodate children with different abilities are given.
- Parents seem to be concerned about school readiness skills, especially reading. How will this kit help prepare children for future learning?
• Because early literacy experiences are so critical for later learning, stories, songs, and readiness activities are included in every kit. Ideas for theme-related play props will spark imaginations and provide opportunities for expanding language and social skills. Games will allow children to practice concepts, use large and small muscles, and increase verbal and social abilities. Recipes for simple cooking projects will provide a wealth of learning opportunities. They can introduce literacy skills (reading the recipe), science (changes in matter, nutrition), and social studies (ethnic specialties, the role of food). Color and shape activities integrate literacy, math, science, and other early childhood concepts within the themes. Parents will recognize and appreciate the learning that is occurring while children are in your care.
