"Our goal is to create a comprehensive, unit-based, and integrated curriculum that provides the level of support that we've always thought preschool teachers deserve." Judy Schickedanz and David Dickinson It provides the strongest research-based early literacy curriculum and seamlessly weaves solid content that captures children's natural curiosity about the world into an activity-centered day. The curriculum covers all domains of learning: Language and Literacy, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, The Arts, Physical Development, and Social and Emotional Development.   Language and Literacy Teaches all the concepts, skills and strategies consistent with current research. Systematically builds knowledge related to 'the code': alphabet knowledge, early writing, and phonemic awareness. Supports language skills by identifying and reinforcing vocabulary and strengthening conversation skills. Mathematics Builds a foundation for later mathematical competence, including concepts of number, basic computation, geometry, and measurement. Science and Social Studies Addresses content-area standards with a steady exposure to rich science and social studies content in the context of language and literacy activities and engaging, hands-on exploration. The Arts Promotes children's sense of competence, curiosity, and creativity through creative exploration, discovery, and imaginative play. Involves children actively in art, music, literature, movement, and more. Physical Development Builds large motor skills through free outdoor play and movement activities. Fosters fine motor skills through hands-on activities across the content areas. Social and Emotional Development Helps children develop social skills required in a variety of settings. Builds children's awareness of their own feelings, and those of others. Encourages practice of skills helpful for regulating behavior in the face of strong emotions. Presents many opportunities to experience success, both through individual effort and through guided practice.
