NSPHS utilize the HighScope Curriculum, whose foundation is built on active learning across developmental domains.

Categories include:

• Approaches to learning
• Social & emotional development
• Creative arts
• Language, literacy, & communication
• Mathematics
• Science & technology
• Social studies
• Physical development & Health Teachers and students are active partners in shaping the educational experience. This partnership allows children the opportunity to find out how the world works through their direct experience with people, objects, materials, events, and ideas.

The curriculum emphasizes adult-child interaction, a carefully designed learning environment, and a plan-do-review process. This process strengthens initiative, self-reliance, supports critical thinking and language development in children. Our teachers observe and record activities while supporting each child’s individual learning process.
High Scope is an educational approach in which children and adults share responsibility for learning. High Scope promotes curiosity, 

creativity, persistence, decision making and problem solving in young children.
Active learning is the cornerstone of the High Scope approach. Play is the way children learn. In an active learning setting children choose activities and materials that interest them, manipulate materials in their own ways, use language to describe their intentions and actions, and receive adult support during their play.
Research shows that nurturing adult child interactions help children achieve higher levels of academic achievement. Children who experience positive adult child interactions also develop enhanced pro-social skills and increased self esteem. In the High/Scope curriculum the role of the teacher is to support and extend the children’s learning by observing and listening, asking appropriate question and by scaffolding learning experiences.

Parents play an important role in the education of their child by:

❖ Providing input about their child’s interests and activities
❖ Participating in Home Visits (see details on page 9)
❖ Participating in Parent/Teacher Conferences
❖ Having ongoing conversations and developing individual goals for their child. Bring your child to school every day. It is important for your child’s success because it helps children. (COVID-19: If you have chosen virtual for your child it is very important to log in at your designated time)

❖ Learn the skills they need for Kindergarten and beyond.
❖ Build self-confidence
❖ Make new friends
We believe that children learn from adults and other children in the classroom and virtually because they:

❖ Gain independence
❖ Learn communication skills
❖ Learn problem-solving skills
❖ Learn from each other’s strengths Your child will be observed daily to assess their developmental progress:
❖ These observations will occur throughout the year.
❖ Activities based on these observations will help to increase their learning and ensure children are making progress toward their individual goals.
❖ Children work to increase their reading, writing, math, science, and social skills

We believe that children learn through play because:
​

❖ It encourages active involvement and interest in the activities. The classroom is set up with materials to promote this learning.
