Curriculum
The school curriculum of LDZ program are based upon the framework of The Creative Curriculum (The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, Fourth Edition, by Diane Trister Dodge, Laura J. Colker, and Cate Heroman) and Montessori Method. The program uses a variety of activities to achieve several broad goals, including: getting along well with others, becoming enthusiastic learners, and getting prepared for the expectations of the Department of Education that “all Grade 1 entrants [should] develop the necessary learning experiences to prepare them for academic work.” The school do this by creating purposeful and productive play experiences. We understand that children ages 3-5 are learning all the time and that they learn best by being active. The more active children are in their work, the more they learn and remember. Students learn through a variety of both student-selected and teacher-directed learning opportunities.Campus
