Improving teaching to deliver better learning outcomes is a goal for your preschool. This blog looks at strategies you can use to achieve this goal.
Introduction to the Development of Preschool Curriculum
Preschool is the first step in education for children between 2 and 6. Implementing a child-centred curriculum that values concrete concepts rather than memorisation is vital.
Kreedo helps you implement this through a Learning Lab. It is a structured learning environment with 250+ learning materials. Besides this, children also learn in a classroom with educational materials such as books.
Kreedo focuses on practical and theoretical learning. It leads to learning in a two-part preschool setup, a learning lab and a classroom.
This helps to follow the ‘concrete to abstract’ learning methodology. It allows children to learn practical concepts in the lab, and then practice in the classroom.
Apart from this, you must focus on education that delivers holistic child development. Parents want their children to develop all-round. Your preschool can be where it happens.
Key Elements of a Successful Preschool Curriculum
A successful preschool curriculum should focus on activity-based learning. Kreedo has developed a play-based curriculum. It follows a hands-on approach to teaching every subject.
Kreedo provides further support to you to help implement this play-based curriculum. It is available through our 6T Framework offering 6 crucial components:
- Toys and Games
- Theory
- Timetable
- Training
- Technology
- Teamwork
Implementing the Kreedo-based curriculum successfully requires the supporting 6T Framework.
Developmental Milestones and Learning Objectives
Continuous assessment of child progress acts as a marker to determine teaching effectiveness. It also allows teachers to cater to the needs of all children. Through remedial work, teachers ensure children’s skills are up-to-date with the requirements.
Through the Kreedo 6T Framework App, teachers can track student progress. It allows for continuous assessments, remedial, and report generation.
Incorporating Technology into Early Education
Technology in early education helps you run your preschool and reduce teacher burden. Furthermore, incorporating the 6T Framework App also provides endless resources.
Other benefits of the 6T Framework App include:
- Comprehensive help/learning module
- Helps in conducting child assessment and provides child progress reports
- Allows for remedial, ensures children catch up on required skills
- Helps teachers manage timetables for lab and classroom activities
Through child observation and assessment, teachers can track literacy and numeracy development.
Emotional and Social Learning for Preschoolers
Preschools should focus on other aspects of development besides academic development. Apart from delivering the curriculum, it should also focus on socio-emotional development. A balance between the two helps children develop in all areas and succeed in life.
Customizing Curriculum for Diverse Learning Styles
Catering to various learning styles requires using different teaching strategies and aids. Also, teachers can use continuous assessment. This helps to ensure all children reach the skill requirements of the curriculum.
Strategies to Improve Your Preschool Curriculum for 2024
Improved teaching strategies lead to better implementation of your curriculum. Teachers’ skills must develop and new teaching approaches must be utilised. This will help children develop literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional skills faster.
Interactive Learning: Games and Technology Integration
Children learn through play, making games a powerful tool in early childhood education. Adopting the Kreedo play-based curriculum leads to effective, engaging, and interactive learning.
Technology playing the role of an enabler in learning is one you cannot avoid. Technology helps learning continue outside the classroom as well.
The gamified learning app from Kreedo called Practico helps to continue learning. It helps reinforce Mathematics, Reading, Phonics, Writing, and Cognition concepts using educational games.
Practico features 100+ games and stories. It helps children turn their passive time into productive active learning time.
Outdoor and Exploratory Learning Experiences
Including the outdoors and exploration allows for sensorial experiences. It allows children to experiment with and develop their senses. In turn, this will allow children to learn more with the help of their senses.
Teachers can once again use teaching aids to help children develop sensory skills.
The Role of Art and Creativity in Cognitive Development
Art activities help children develop creativity. Also, teachers can use it to their advantage for cognitive skill development.
Through art and creativity, children develop various cognitive skills. These include reasoning, problem-solving, memory retention, and attentiveness.
Tools, Resources, and Training for Educators and Entrepreneurs
The improvement of teachers’ skills, educational resources, and support helps deliver the curriculum. Teaching resources include learning through books, educational toys, and visual aids.
