How We Teach
Curriculum Delivery
In a HighScope child care setting, it is important to have teachers and caregivers who lovingly, consistently, and creatively support children’s natural desire to be active learners. Creating an active learning environment for infants and toddlers means consciously considering all their needs. An understanding of HighScope’s active learning approach guides the decisions infant-toddler caregivers make about every major aspect of their work — observing and planning for children, interacting with children and families, arranging and equipping the learning environment, establishing schedules and routines, and assessing early development and program quality.
Active learning is at the center of the HighScope Curriculum. It’s the foundation where young children gain knowledge through their natural play and interactions with the environment, events, and other people.
