CURRICULUM
Second Step is designed to promote social competence and reduce social and emotional problems by teaching young children skills in the core areas of empathy, emotion management and problem solving. It is a universal prevention program, which means that it is taught to every child in a classroom rather than to selected children. The program emphasizes understanding and dealing with emotions, expressing emotions in socially acceptable ways, thinking about social situations in accurate and constructive ways, and learning pro-social behaviors through practice.
Second Step
Conscious Discipline
Children are born explorers. Naturally curious, they want to know about the world and their place in it. The InvestiGator Club preschool curriculum taps into this sense of wonder by connecting play, imagination, and content to the real world. "Purposeful inquiry," the heart of The InvestiGator Club, challenges children to use their senses, to ask questions, and to find the answers in a supportive, language- and literacy-rich environment.
The Investigator's Club curriculum is used in our VPK and 3 year old classrooms.
