The provider\u2019s role is to provide an appropriate environment, routine, and materials. Our materials simplify this process for providers. They provide a developmentally appropriate plan for the month. Additionally, they include the materials for successfully implementing that plan.

This is often achieved through setting up learning centers. Children should be given ample periods of time to make their own choice of areas to play. Learning centers can be kept up all the time. If your space doesn\u2019t allow for that, they can be taken down after work hours to make space for your family.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common learning centers and materials you can include in each area:<br>House area: kitchen set, play dishes, play food, dolls, child-size table and chairs, doll crib, variety of dress-up clothes, mirror, old phones, paper, pencils, phone book, cook book<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Block area: wood blocks, cardboard brick blocks, Duplos, block play people, cars, trucks, small animals, cardboard tubes<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art area: variety of types, colors, and sizes of paper, crayons, markers, glue sticks, collage items, yarn and string, play dough<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sensory table or bin: tub containing items that you can rotate weekly or monthly. These items can include dried navy beans, sand, water, corn meal, etc.. Note that water requires extensive supervision.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your environment should include an open area where you can conduct your circle time activities with the children. If space is limited, this can be in your block area. It\u2019s always a good idea to arrange your space so there aren\u2019t any large areas that would encourage children to run. Loud areas should be located next to other loud areas. Quiet centers should be close to other quiet centers. Learning centers make free play time more productive. They also make it more manageable for children and providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philosophy Statement: Carol\u2019s Affordable Curriculum Our curriculum is designed around the widely respected theories of Jean Piaget.
