Understanding the STREAMin³ Curriculum
The STREAMin³ curriculum model is a comprehensive approach designed for early childhood education, spanning from birth to age five. It integrates various domains of learning, emphasizing not only academic skills but also social-emotional development.
Key Components of STREAMin³:
- Holistic Development:
- STREAMin³ focuses on six STREAM skills (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math) and five core skills (Relate, Regulate, Think, Communicate, and Move). This ensures that children develop a well-rounded skill set that prepares them for future academic and social success.
- Engaging and Hands-On Learning:
- The curriculum includes a variety of activities, routines, and resources designed to be both structured and flexible. These activities are culturally sensitive and tailored to meet each child’s unique learning needs. This hands-on, exploratory approach is critical for fostering creativity and critical thinking from an early age.
- Professional Development:
- STREAMin³ emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development for educators. This helps teachers to implement and adapt the curriculum effectively, ensuring that they can provide the best learning experiences for their students.
- Family Engagement:
- The curriculum encourages strong partnerships with families, recognizing that parents are vital contributors to their child’s learning journey. Resources and communication tools are provided to keep families informed and involved.
- Assessment and Observation:
- STREAMin³ utilizes observation and assessment tools to help educators understand each child’s development and plan appropriate support. This data-driven approach ensures that teaching strategies are tailored to the needs of each child.
- Intentional Teaching Practices:
- The curriculum promotes intentional interactions between teachers and children throughout the day, integrating learning into daily routines and activities. This helps children build essential skills in a natural and engaging manner.
