Curriculum
Playworks uses creative curriculum from Teaching Strategies. Creative curriculum is rooted in educational philosophy and theory, as well as practice. The philosophy behind the curriculum is that young children learn best by doing. Creative curriculum has 36 learning objectives for development, which are fully aligned with the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress, Minnesota’s Early Learning Standards, and also has an assessment with indicators based upon those kindergarten readiness skills and objectives. Creative curriculum is also a Parent Aware approved curriculum.
