123 Learn Curriculum

123 Learn Curriculum is designed to promote the physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language development of children. Every child is a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth. We believe in respecting and responding to each child’s learning preference. Play is a young child’s “work” as they touch, manipulate, and experiment with materials, explore and observe the environment, and interact with adults and one another. Children are also highly encouraged to initiate their own activities and learning. Piaget states that “children should be able to do their own experimenting and their own research. Teachers of course, can guide them by providing the appropriate materials, but the essential thing is that in order for a child to understand something, he must construct it himself, he must re-invent it. Children learn best with repetition. Repetition is an essential key to the physical development of a child's brain. The more something is repeated the more likely children are to remember it. Repetition in a variety of forms also increases the likelihood of reaching children with different learning styles and provides a more comprehensive understanding of concepts. 123 Learn Curriculum provides this opportunity though fun themes such as dinosaurs and monsters. Each theme incorporates a letter, color, number and shape, and themes that provide hands on opportunities to make learning fun. 123 Learn Curriculum also understands the areas of child development and incorporates the Minnesota’s Early Childhood Indicators of Progress into lesson plans. Letting providers know what domains are being touched on with each activity listed under infant, toddler and preschool daily plans.
