Drop of Love toddler curriculum is based on the principle that children learn best through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas.

Each day has the same basic elements:

• Teacher-led group activity times.
• Center-based, child-directed free play.
• Outside play time where children use large muscles to move, climb, run and more.
• Meal times where the class eats together like a family.
• Nap time when children rest on individual mats.
• Personal care activities. Children are encouraged to wash hands, diapers are changed and those ready are helped to use the toilet

.

In our preschool classroom, teachers and children are active partners in the learning process. This balanced approach to interaction between adults and children - also call "intentional teaching" - is critical to our effectiveness.

Space and material are carefully arranged to promote active learning. Teachers give preschoolers a sense of control over the day by planning a consistent daily routine that enables the children to anticipate what happens next.

The curriculum is built around activities in these main content areas:

• Physical development
• Approaches to learning
• Social and emotional development Language, communication and emergent literacy
• Cognitive development and general knowledge
