A strong curriculum helps children thrive and impresses parents. Here’s how to build one that’s both fun and foundational.
1. Choose a Philosophy
Montessori, Reggio Emilia, play-based, or a blend? Choose a style that aligns with your goals and families’ needs.
2. Set Learning Goals by Age Group
Break down developmental milestones and themes for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
3. Create a Weekly Structure
Design daily lesson plans with consistent activities (circle time, sensory play, story time, etc.) across subjects like:
• Math
• Literacy
• Science & Nature
• Art & Music
4. Include Social-Emotional Learning
Parents love curriculums that include conflict resolution, kindness, and empathy.
5. Involve Families
Offer take-home activities or send weekly recaps to keep parents in the loop.
6. Keep it Flexible
Children learn best in a responsive environment. Build in time for free play and exploration.
