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
are based on each different age groups. For more

form used in our centers.
