Approach to Curriculum Development
One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is the empowerment to create a life they love, filled with purposeful, enjoyable work, and relationships they hold dear.”-Sarah L. Cook.
When children are empowered throughout their early years, they view themselves as valuable members of the family and school communities. Empowering children in appropriate situations highlights their abilities and the way they experience big emotions.
As stated in the CSDC Curriculum Philosophy, children will:
-
Solve meaningful and challenging problems
- Be a respectful and competent friend, community-member, and citizen
- Develop curiosity, a sense of wonder, and a lifelong love of learning

In addition to traditional content areas (math, science, literacy, etc.), we believe that children need to have a strong sense of self. In order to access future curriculum and be lifelong learners, children must first be able to identify who they are and how they fit into their community. This includes:
- Metacognition
- Observational skills
- Considering other possibilities
- Secure relationships
- Executive function
- Challenging and inviting environments
- Nurturing children's curiosities
- Independent exploration
- Revisiting experiences
- Long term exposure & project approach
