Frog Street curriculum is a comprehensive early childhood education program designed to support the development of young children, particularly in preschool settings. It integrates both academic and social-emotional learning, while focusing on the developmental needs of children from birth through pre-kindergarten. Here’s an overview of how using Frog Street Curriculum can benefit an early learning facility:

Key Features of Frog Street Curriculum:

Research-Based and Developmentally Appropriate: Frog Street is grounded in research on child development and is specifically designed to align with best practices for early childhood education. It is developmentally appropriate, meaning that it caters to the varying developmental stages of young children. The curriculum supports individual learning needs, fostering skills in a way that is both engaging and achievable.

Comprehensive and Holistic: The curriculum covers all areas of a child's development, including:

• Cognitive Development: Focus on language and literacy, early math, science, and problem-solving skills.
• Social-Emotional Development: Emphasizes positive social skills, self-regulation, and emotional well-being.
• Physical Development: Encourages motor skills through activities that promote coordination, balance, and fine/gross motor development.
• Spiritual Development (for Christian centers): While not explicitly faith-based, Frog Street can easily be complemented with Christian teachings or values by incorporating Bible stories and activities that promote Christian principles.

• Thematic Units: Frog Street follows a thematic approach with structured units that revolve around specific topics, such as seasons, animals, families, and community. These units are designed to be flexible and can be adapted to meet the needs and interests of the children. This thematic approach helps build connections between what the children are learning and their world around them.
• Language-Rich Environment: The curriculum emphasizes the importance of language development, offering materials and activities that promote vocabulary building, listening skills, and communication. Language development is fostered through interactive stories, songs, rhymes, and games, all designed to engage children and develop their language skills.
• Integrated Learning: Activities are designed to integrate learning across various domains. For example, a lesson about animals might incorporate songs (music and movement), counting (math), storytelling (language), and art (creativity). This helps children see the connections between different concepts and enhances their overall learning experience.
• Diverse and Inclusive: Frog Street is inclusive and provides materials that reflect the diversity of children’s backgrounds. It celebrates different cultures and families and aims to create an inclusive classroom environment where every child feels valued.
