The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten

The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten builds upon decades of research, offering a developmentally appropriate, inquiry-based curriculum that incorporates best practices for teaching. It delivers a research-based, whole-child approach to project-based learning. Through in-depth investigations of science and social studies topics that integrate literacy and mathematics concepts, you can encourage students to think critically, solve problems, and connect ideas.

The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten includes comprehensive, high-quality resources that provide support and guidance for differentiated instruction, intentional teaching, and development of the whole child.

The Foundation offers insight into the most current research and best practices for teaching kindergarten students. The Daily Resources help teachers organize and manage their days intentionally and effectively. With The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten you’ll have the comprehensive resources needed to offer children opportunities to learn through investigation, discovery, and play.

To transform your planning, teaching, and family engagement experiences inside the classroom and beyond, The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten includes The Creative Curriculum® Cloud for Kindergarten. More than a digital curriculum, The Creative Curriculum® Cloud takes our leading early childhood curriculum resources online to support educators as they bring a content-rich, developmentally appropriate curriculum to life in an early childhood classroom or at home in partnership with families. In addition to 24/7 digital access to curriculum, it provides dynamic planning tools that help individualize instruction, facilitates communication between teachers and families, streamlines weekly planning processes, and offers access to new family-facing resources to build consistency in learning experiences.
