Early childhood program
A preschool curriculum is the structured plan of activities, lessons, and learning experiences designed for children before they enter kindergarten—typically ages three to five.
It covers foundational skills like letter recognition, counting, social interaction, and motor development.
The Montessori preschool curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning.
Different philosophies—play-based, academic, or hybrid—shape how programs approach early childhood education.
