Choosing a Curriculum: A Blueprint for Success

A curriculum is like a blueprint; it is a piece of paper until it is interpreted and used to carefully build something. A well-designed blueprint meets the standards of the profession and and helps you construct a high-quality building. It gives everyone involved in the construction process a picture of what they are creating together. Once the building is constructed, the process does not end. People move into the structure and make it their own.

In selecting a curriculum blueprint for your program, you must first learn all you can about it. To learn more about The Creative Curriculum^® for Preschool:
