Education Standards at The White Barn Children's Centre

Curriculum Map

The White Barn will use a thoughtful, meaningful and functional curriculum approach to children’s learning. We will expand from children’s interests, seasonal happenings, and experiences within our environment. Our curriculum overview provides a base for areas of study throughout the year. The White Barn will use the CT ELDS (CT Early Learning & Development Standards), which lays out stages in learning and development for children up to age 5. 

The standards break skills down by age group within these 8 domains of growth and development:

  1. Cognition
  2. Social and emotional development
  3. Physical development and health
  4. Language and literacy
  5. Creative arts
  6. Mathematics
  7. Science
  8. Social studies

We will use the CT ELDS to 

  • Plan developmentally appropriate activities for individual children and classrooms
  • Monitor each child’s development and plan strategies to support their learning 
  • Communicate with families about a child’s development
  • Support our own professional development by identifying areas for additional training and coaching 

Provocations

In the context of nature-based education: A provocation is an invitation that provokes thought, interaction, experimentation, or play and utilizes natural elements, which are ideally in or sourced from the local landscape, thereby deepening a child’s connection with the natural world.


Examples: Mini Pumpkin Breads (clay and seeds), Colored Ice Cubes, Wild Edible Teas,  Rock formations, Sorting items, Counting and making groups, exploring a dead sunflower (seeds, petals, stem, etc…)
