CSPP uses The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, a
comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum that provides preschoolers with developmentally appropriate learning opportunities, promoting kindergarten readiness in a stimulating environment through literacy, math, science, social studies, art, and social emotional development. The Creative Curriculum for Preschool Implementation Checklist30 is used to ensure that the curriculum is fully implemented with fidelity in each classroom as monitored by the CSPP Director. Students instructed with The Creative Curriculum have demonstrated positive gains in math,31 science,32 literacy/ language development,33 and social emotional skills.34 The Creative Curriculum is a cohesive, emergent, child-centered, play-based curriculum that maximizes each child’s individual strengths, encouraging activities related to each child's needs or interests. The curriculum is strategically taught through developmentally appropriate activities that maximize school readiness and build children’s foundational skills across school readiness domains. It is also aligned to California Kindergarten Common Content State Standards in Language Arts, Mathematics, and English Language Development.
