One of the most important things when operating a child care center is to make sure we have the right curriculum to provide all the opportunities for young learners to develop all their skills. When choosing a curriculum in Smarties Academy we considered things like:
PA Accreditation
Teaching and learning styles
Whether it’s Research-based
Whether it encourages family engagement
What’s the learning environment, etc.
One perfect curriculum for every child to learn and for every teacher to teach
After working with different urriculums for more than 10 years, we have come to the conclusion that there is not “one perfect curriculum for every child to learn and for every teacher to teach”.So we integrated different activities from 3 leading PA Accredited curriculums to make sure our students develop their skills in every possible way any time of the day.
