Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
The curriculum encourages children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and materials, and to pursue their own interests in the context of life in the community and the world.

Relationships among teachers and families are based on a partnership to ensure high-quality care and education. Parents feel supported and welcomed as observers and contributors to the program.

The program is staffed by adults who are trained in child and family development and who recognize and meet the developmental and learning needs of children and families. They recognize that the quality and competence of the staff are the most important determinants of the quality of an early childhood program.

The indoor and outdoor physical environment is designed to promote optimal growth and development through opportunities for exploration and learning. The quality of physical space and materials affects the levels of involvement of the children and the quality of interaction between adults and children.

Ongoing and systematic evaluation is essential to improve and maintain the quality of an early childhood program. Evaluation should focus on the programs effectiveness in meeting the needs of children, families, and staff.
