An early learning and childcare curriculum framework is different than a traditional curriculum.
In early childhood, curriculum is focused on broad holistic goals rather than specific outcomes for each subject area.
Early learning and childcare curriculum frameworks embrace children’s everyday experiences as the sources of curriculum meaning making.
Early childhood educators use the goals in the curriculum framework to describe and interpret children’s everyday experiences.
In early childhood, curriculum content is integrated, emerging from children’s fascination with the world.
When educators notice children’s interest in exploring nature, people, places, and objects as well as print, stories, numbers, shapes, and patterns, and when they name the connections between these experiences and the holistic goals and children’s dispositions to learn, they are co-constructing early learning curriculum with young children and making the curriculum visible to others.
Early childhood curriculum is embedded in children’s daily experience with their families and in local communities informing interactions, routines, experiences, and curriculum decisions in early learning and childcare programs.
