Chapel Hill Cooperative Preschool Infant & Toddler Center

The CHCP mission is to create and maintain a childcare program in which staff and parents contribute jointly to foster a kind and caring environment where children are nurtured and provided opportunities to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually to their fullest potential. It is our belief that children learn through play. The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood is our chosen curriculum because it is consistent with our philosophy.

This curriculum explains the ongoing cycle of observing, guiding, learning, and assessing children’s progress using The Developmental Continuum for children ages 0-5. This Developmental Continuum outlines the sequence of steps that children take as they learn particular skills and concepts in all the areas of development. The teachers at the Preschool use this as a tool for planning instruction and assessing learning. When we plan for the children we focus on the goals and objectives for the child’s learning that are within the four developmental areas: social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

The Creative Curriculum allows the Preschool to modify and structure the program specifically to the child’s individual needs and learning styles of all the children in our program. The Creative Curriculum is inclusive of all children -those developing typically, children with disabilities, and English language learners. We use the Creative Curriculum to guide us in planning a program that includes choice time, small and large group time, and studies that integrate learning across all of the content areas (literacy, math, science, social studies, arts, and technology).
