Frog Street is committed to ensuring our curriculum remains aligned with the ever-changing landscape of early childhood education. We’ve created a new curriculum to ensure we continue providing the most innovative and effective learning experiences for young learners aged 36-48 months:
• New Instructional Content: More than 80% updated instructional content based on the latest research in early childhood education, ensuring a joyful and robust learning experience with differentiation supports for a wide variety of classrooms and populations.
• Meeting the Needs of All Children: The updated curriculum integrates point of use supports for inclusiveness, cultural responsiveness, social-emotional development, and multilingual learning both in print and digitally.
• Inclusive Classroom Support: Frog Street Preschool includes a dedicated Inclusive Classroom Teacher Support Guide, Strategy Cards, and literature books offering additional support and resources at point of use, as well as during large and small group learning.
• Mindful Movement: All new instruction and activities that introduce mindful movement, fostering a holistic approach to learning and physical development that builds confidence in self-regulation.
• Improved Integration of Math Content: Opportunities for learning and applying math concepts and skills are now seamlessly integrated throughout the week’s activities to enhance mathematical skills development and exposure to math concepts in new applications and contexts.
• Enhanced Family Connections: Our Family Connections letters and email templates are now available in over 12 languages, strengthening engagement with families from diverse backgrounds and simplifying teacher workloads.
• Simplified Morning Routine: The Greeting Circle and Morning Message routine are tailored specifically for three-year-olds, ensuring age-appropriate engagement that emphasizes social and emotional development and foundational literacy skills. In alignment with the Frog Street continuum, the Greeting Circle is rooted in Dr. Becky Bailey’s Conscious Discipline™ approach.
• Thematic Alignment to Frog Street Pre-K: Frog Street Preschool aligns thematically with Frog Street Pre-K, providing a cohesive learning experience in line with established educational standards and approaches.
• Updated Look and Feel: New illustrations, more photos, and realistic imagery in books, story folders, photo cards, and resources that fosters an inclusive and inspiring learning environment.
