curriculum & evaluation

WSEM Early Childhood Education uses the High/Scope Curriculum, a high-quality early childhood program model, which encourages and supports children's initiatives and active learning experiences.

The High/Scope Curriculum is based on child observation and child development theory and research. The model relies heavily on active, child-initiated learning experiences during which children plan, or express their intentions; carry out their intentions in play experiences; and then reflect on their accomplishments.

Our infant and toddler programs offer a healthy balance of cognitive and motor skill development; building self-esteem through nurturing personal care; interaction with other children to spark curiosity and socialization; and sensory, and language development through the right combination of activities, materials and toys.
