Preschool Curriculum

The Little Dragons Preschool Program uses the HighScope curriculum. 

According to HighScope:

HighScope is a research-based curriculum organized around eight content areas that outline the experiences essential to the development of the fundamental abilities that emerge during early childhood. The eight content areas contain 58 key developmental indicators (KDIs), which are aligned with national and state early learning standards. 

The eight content areas include: Approaches to Learning; Social & Emotional Development; Physical  Development & Health; Communication, Language & Literacy; Mathematics; Creative Arts; Science & Technology; and Social Studies.

Teachers reinforce children's play as the primary mechanism for learning and support each child in their growth through close attention, observation, and both physical and verbal interaction.
