Infant/Toddler Curriculum
We implement High Scope which is both an instructional approach and a comprehensive, research-based curriculum that addresses the entire range of experiences children have while they are at school. New Jersey’s Department of Education (Division of Early Childhood Education) has approved High Scope as a curriculum that meets the department’s criteria for high quality programs and is aligned with student learning goals and standards.
In the High Scope Infant-Toddler Curriculum, learning is focused on the following six content areas which organize active learning in High Scope infant-toddler programs:
• Approaches to learning
• Social & emotional development
• Physical development & health
• Communication, language, & literacy
• Cognitive development
• Creative arts
Learning in these six areas is guided by 42 key developmental indicators (KDIs) which represent the experiences/discoveries of infants and toddler throughout their daily adventures. Like the preschool KDIs, each infant/toddler KDI is a statement that identifies an observable behavior reflecting infant/toddler knowledge and skills in the content areas. Source: High Scope
