Creative Curriculum
At Daffy Duck Learning Akademy we believe our curriculum encompasses our mission and philosophy the best which is “learning by doing!”
Creative Curriculum Philosophy
The philosophy behind our curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Learning isn’t just repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in.
In their early years, children explore the world around them by using all their senses (touching, tasting, listening, smelling, and looking).
In using real materials such as blocks and trying out their ideas, children learn about sizes, shapes, and colors, and they notice relationships between things.
In time, they learn to use one object to stand for another. This is the beginning of symbolic thinking. Gradually children become more and more able to use abstract symbols like words to describe their thoughts and feelings. They learn to “read” pictures which are symbols of real people, places and things. This exciting development in symbolic thinking takes place during the pre-school years as children play.
The Goals of Creative Curriculum
The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners. This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try their ideas and to think their own thoughts. Our goal is to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners. We’re teaching them how to learn, not just in preschool, but all through their lives. We’re allowing them to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for them. We’re giving children good habits and attitudes, particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make a difference throughout their lives.
The Creative Curriculum identifies goals
in all areas of development:
Social
To help children feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, make friends, and feel they are a part of the group.
Emotional
To help children experience pride and self-confidence, develop independence and self-control, and have a positive attitude toward life.
Cognitive
To help children become confident learners by letting them try out their own ideas and experience success, and by helping them acquire learning skills such as the ability to solve problems, ask questions, and use words to describe their ideas, observations, and feelings.
Physical
To help children increase their large and small muscle skills and feel confident about what their bodies can do.
