Is the curriculum designed to meet the needs of all students?

Meets Expectations

The Creative Curriculum for Pre-K materials meet expectations for supporting responsive practices and diverse learners. The program provides strong, consistent guidance for building relationships, fostering family partnerships, and creating inclusive learning environments. Supports for adapting instruction to meet a range of developmental needs are well-integrated across materials, including guidance for multilingual learners. Resources reflect a clear commitment to equity and inclusion, with variation in how explicitly some supports, such as cultural responsiveness and adaptations for children with disabilities, are embedded within daily instruction.
