Program Curriculum
The Creative Curriculum for Family Child Care, Second Edition is the only comprehensive, developmentally appropriate curriculum for family childcare. Now providers have a curriculum that promotes children’s development and learning and addresses the unique challenges of home-based early childhood educators.
Following the framework of The Creative Curriculum® for Infants, Toddlers & Twos and The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool, the two-volume Family Child Care edition leads family childcare providers through the process of building positive relationships with children and partnering with families. It includes objectives for children’s social-emotional, physical, oral language, and cognitive development and for their learning in the content areas (literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, and the arts). The Creative Curriculum for Family Child Care helps providers plan activities intentionally and integrate learning for children birth to age 12.
