Happy
Home High Scope Curriculum
The interaction between adult and the child, for the
philosopher, Vygotsky is like a dance - the child leads and
the adult follows always closely in tune with the child’s
actions.
The Happy Home curriculum is developmentally appropriate and
helps staff build classroom
environments that are sensitive to the
children’s natural development and that encourage
verbalization and independent decision-making.
Children learn the Happy Home motto, poems and weekly
proverbs that all encourage good values and morals. The role
of the teacher is to encourage children’s efforts by talking
to them, joining in with their play, helping them to solve
their own problems and sometimes introducing them to new
experiences.
Our
High Scope preschool curriculum at Happy Home is planned to
provide a challenging, yet enjoyable experience for
children. At every level of development, children follow a
flexible curriculum; mastering skills in the core areas of
math and language development. We recognize the physical,
socio-emotional, and intellectual uniqueness of each child
and strive to provide for his or her special needs and
abilities. We encourage children to think critically and
explore their curiosity, as well as develop skills, self
confidence and discipline to learn throughout life. The
preschool child is at his apex of awareness and discovery.
Each child is encouraged and guided to become more aware and
to make new discoveries of social relationships through art,
rhythm and music, language arts, science, nature, carpentry,
cooking, physical education, manipulative and perceptual
experiences. This enables us to provide each child with many
opportunities for cognitive growth. Our summer program
focuses on educational field trips and swimming classes. |
