The curriculum I use matches the age range of the children in my center, the main thing I try to develop for them in the curriculum is their language and literacy skills and I do this by using curriculum resources such as props and books to help them with this. I use the Maryland Early Learning Standard for all the children but the older children (over 3 years old) curriculum is more comprehensive and more focused on literacy than the younger children. I also use the “comprehensive Curriculum of basic skills” to work with the children basic skills across all areas including gross/ fine motor skills, language, literacy, mathematics, social / emotional development, and cognitive development.
