As an early childhood educator, your first commitment is to children--helping them succeed in school and in life. At Teaching Strategies, our first commitment is to you. That's why, when you partner with us to build quality in your program, you can be sure that you'll have the support you need to succeed every step of the way.
Let's take a look at how!
1
The Evolution of The Creative Curriculum? for Preschool
The evolution of The Creative Curriculum? for Preschool is grounded in our commitment to early childhood educators. Over the years, we've embraced innovation, updating the curriculum to keep pace with what teachers need in the classroom. What began as a focus on room arrangement is now a comprehensive collection of resources that offer moment-to-moment support, and every edition has incorporated current research on the best ways to help children succeed.
1978
Room Arrangement as a Teaching Strategy is a precursor to The Creative Curriculum?.
1988
The second edition of The Creative Curriculum? is published, helping teachers organize their rooms into interest areas and use them effectively.
2002
The fourth edition of The Creative Curriculum? for Preschool offers a
comprehensive update, resting on a firm foundation of research and responding to new requirements for
addressing academic content.
The first edition of The Creative Curriculum? is born--self-published by Diane Trister Dodge and focused on using interest areas as a setting for learning.
1992
The third edition of The Creative Curriculum? is published, presenting for the first time our philosophy, goals, and objectives for children's learning, as well as guidelines for teaching and
working with families.

Expanded Daily Resources give teachers more choice when it comes to implementing studies and integrating learning into every part of the day.

The updated Objectives for Development & Learning volume presents a clear picture of all of the early childhood years, with progressions from birth through third grade.
