Curriculum in Early Childhood takes an integrated, theme-based approach to curriculum rather than focusing on specific subject-matters or activity areas. This combination textbook/curriculum guide features activities and themes which are strongly grounded in early childhood theories. As such, the guide begins with a coherent focus on the aims of education and its content, including what education for children is all about, and what children should learn. The curriculum guide section is organized into six themes and accompanied by appropriate activities. Skills are integrated into the content contexts.
