Savvy Source's Comments

"Educational research indicates that preschool-aged children are in the 'preoperational stage' of learning-needing to learn from actual objects-and are on the threshold of the 'concrete operational' stage-being able to learn from symbols and signs (sign/symbol based skills of reading, writing, and arithmetic). Children are also on another kind of threshold-the threshold of participation in the formal school setting. Curriculum CCS employs the High/Scope Curriculum, which recognizes these critical thresholds. The curriculum relies heavily on active, child-initiated learning experiences during which children plan, or express their intentions; carry out their intentions in play experiences; and then reflect on their accomplishments. This is opposed to learning by rote or memorization. Outcomes of such key active learning activities include the development of dispositions important to lifelong learning-initiative, curiosity, trust, confidence, independence, responsibility, and divergent thinking."
