EmBe of Mitchell Preschool
One of the best ways to help children succeed is to teach them to be creative, confident thinkers. That means offering them opportunities for hands-on exploration and discovery that help build lifelong critical thinking skills and foster confidence.
Creative Curriculum for Preschool is fully aligned with the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework and South Dakota early learning standards. Using exploration and discovery as a way of learning, children develop confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical thinking skills.
The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool (ages 3-5) focuses on the following:
- Theory and Research
- How Children Develop and Learn
- The Learning Environment
- The Teacher’s Role
- The Family’s Role
- Interest Areas
EmBe works to provide your family with the best services available in order to prepare your child for Kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.
