Core Learning Areas
🗣️ Language: vocabulary, storytelling, songs, conversation
🔢 Early math: counting, sorting, patterns, shapes, sizes
❤️ Social-emotional: sharing, emotions, cooperation, self-regulation
🎨 Creative arts: painting, drawing, music, dance, dramatic play
🔬 Early science: nature, animals, weather, observation
🏃 Physical development: balance, coordination, fine- and gross-motor skills
📚 Early literacy: books, rhyming, letters, name recognition

For childcare, I'd keep the curriculum play-based rather than school-like. The goal is to build skills through songs, stories, games, exploration, routines, and hands-on activities rather than worksheets or formal academic instruction.
Inclusive Teaching Practices

-
Adapt materials to individual abilities.
-
Follow each child's IEP/IFSP or other applicable support plan when one exists.

Focus on each child's strengths and progress rather than comparing children.
-
Important Principle
"Same activity, different ways to participate."
