The High Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan began to develop curriculum in the 1970's. Today, High Scope is the early childhood curriculum of choice in 19 countries!
Future Generation fully implements the High Scope curriculum. We ensure that all of our educational settings use active participatory learning so that every child has a chance to succeed in life and contribute to society. The tenets of the High Scope curriculum are listed below.
Children learn through hands on experiences with people, materials, events, and ideas.
Infants and toddlers are encouraged to discover the world around them by exploring and playing. Their learning and development are anchored by long-term and trusting relationships with caregivers.
Adults help build upon daily experiences to ensure that developmental milestones are achieved.
The High Scope Preschoool Curriculum is built around: adult/child interaction, classroom arrangement, the daily classroom routine, and curriculum content/assessment.
At Future Generation, we believe that children develop in a pro-social atmosphere. Growth is a culmination of positive attitudes and interactions shared by parents, care givers and children. We strive to promote a successful learning experience for the development of the whole child—cognitively, socially, emotionally, physically and creatively.
Our hands-on approach allows children to be actively involved in the learning process where they can explore, experiment, evaluate and discuss the results. We recognize and nurture the individuality of each child and promote a positive self-image while developing self-confidence, self-discipline and cooperation.
