The activities we plan for children - the way we organize the environment, select toys and materials, plan the daily schedules and talk with children - are all designed to accomplish the goals of our curriculum and give your child a successful start in school. “The Creative Curriculum" is the country's leading scientifically based, research-validated, comprehensive curriculum with guidance on teaching literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. Our materials show teachers not only what to teach, but how and why. This inclusive, strengths-based approach is appropriate for all children, including dual-language learners and children with disabilities.
Our program implements developmentally appropriate activities that promote the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of children enrolled. Our programs have Training and Curriculum Specialists who provides staff training on implementation of the curriculum and other safety, health, and child abuse prevention requirements in accordance with Air Force and DoD requirements.
The Air Force Child Development Program Screening and Assessment Plan was developed based on the principles outlined in the Joint Position Statement of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Association of Early Childhood Specialist in State Departments of Education (NAECS/SDE). The purpose is to provide a standardized framework for the developmentally appropriate evaluation of young children’s strengths,interests, progress, and needs and assist the program in adapting and improving the classroom curriculum and practices. In addition, the plan provides guidance on the evaluation methods used, the timelines for evaluation, the uses of the results, and the involvement of families. Our assessment tools arebased on each different age groups. For more information click on the age group to see the assessment form used in our centers.
