With LECC’s Curriculum, children are immersed in learning through purposeful play-based experiences on topics they are familiar with from their everyday lives. Children find opportunities for rigorous skill development like counting, measurement, and language comprehension while also developing positive relationships, gross-motor skills, and problem-solving abilities. It inspires in children a love of learning as they develop confidence, creativity, and critical-thinking skills-all while promoting positive outcomes.

The 38 research-based objectives at the heart of the curriculum define the path our teachers take with children in their classroom. The objectives cover 10 areas of development and learning, including broad developmental areas, content areas, and English language acquisition. They inform every aspect of teaching, include predictors of school success, and are aligned with state early learning guidelines and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework. They enable our teachers to see children’s development and learning along a progression across the whole of the early childhood years.

To prepare children for success in school and life, it’s more important than ever to educate their whole self.
