Curriculum

The HighScope Preschool Curriculum is a research-based, comprehensive approach that supports lifetime benefits for families and children.  The HighScope Preschool Curriculum is a reliable and effective research-based curriculum that meets: 

  • NJ state early learning standards. 
  • NAEYC developmentally appropriate practice guidelines. 

Adults apply intentional teaching practices by:

  • Planning developmentally appropriate activities. 
  • Supporting and extending children’s learning. 
  • Providing materials that reflect children’s interests and home culture. 
  • Actively engaging children through direct experiences in pursuit of shared learning goals. 

The HighScope Curriculum integrates social-emotional learning content with other academic areas and gives children daily opportunities to practice skills such as emotional self-regulation and problem-solving.  Teachers further support social development by helping children learn how to resolve interpersonal conflicts.  Children’s interests and choices are at the heart of HighScope programs.  By making plans and following through on their intentions, children are taking the first step in the learning process and constructing their own knowledge through interactions with the world around them.
