HighScope Curriculum
Our HighScope designed classroom builds on the following:

- Young children learn through discovery play
- Importance of active learning through direct, hands-on experiences
- Providing a variety of hands-on materials and experiences to meeting individual interests, abilities and needs
- Children working toward independence and cooperation
- The importance of process rather than product
- The importance of supporting early literacy skills and reading to children
- The importance of the home-school connection and value the parents as the child's first teacher
HighScope teachers give preschoolers a sense of control over the events of the day by planning a consistent daily routine that enables the children to anticipate what happens next.Main components of the preschool daily routine include:- The plan-do-review sequence
- Small-group and large-group times
- Recall

- Outside time
- Music and movement
- Free choice
- Individualized learning
