Joyland Preschool curriculum is for the 22nd century. It emphasizes the development of essential cognitive foundations and academic skills within a context of interesting, meaningful activities and a positive, supportive environment.
As a high quality, developmentally appropriate curriculum, Joyland's curriculum moves substantially beyond the debates that have characterized early childhood education and philosophy for a number of years.
Joyland Preschool's curriculum is designed to be appropriate for children of different learning abilities, including those who might be labeled gifted, those who might be labeled demographically at risk and in need of compensatory education, and those who are so typical as to be labeled normal.
