The whole-child approach in early education

The whole-child approach to teaching supports and nurtures all areas of children’s development and learning–from social-emotional and cognitive skills to literacy, math, and science understanding–and is a powerful strategy as preschool children transition to kindergarten. It encourages children’s learning and thinking by being responsive to children’s understandings, interests, and abilities, allowing them to deepen their natural curiosity and their eagerness to want to discover and learn more.

In this video we visit Peabody Elementary School in Washington, D.C. to see how they're using The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool to help address the whole child.
