This section is designed to provide actual curriculum content and research on different curriculum models to our users. Whether you are a parent, student, teacher or program director, the information in the curriculum section should be useful to your work, or determining distinctions between preschool programs. As we build the library, additional curriculum models will be added.
In the following sections, you can find information on specific curriculum models, including research studies in support of specific programs as well as lesson plans and other field contributions.
Most of these curricula have been studied in a wide variety of research projects, and many offer training for teachers as part of curriculum adoption. Please check the listed websites for additional information.
