Whew! Finally finished the project behind this blog: the creation of a complete Early Education Curriculum we are calling Lakemont.

We’ll be using it this year at the Winter Park Presbyterian Church Preschool Program and will let you know how it goes before we go for full publication.

The blogs here are pieces of Lakemont, a curriculum designed with the mission of optimal natural learning for each child from birth to six through a system founded on the basic EVIDENCE of facts on child development and learning ; EXPECTATIONS (objectives) matching that EVIDENCE; an ENVIRONMENT of physical, emotional, and educational safety; EXPERIENCES that are child-centered purposeful play EXECUTED with consideration of the human factor and mandated DAP; and EVALUATION of child progress and program quality. It is ECLECTIC and encourages ELASTICITY! It makes the learning process EASY, ENJOYABLE, EFFICIENT, and EXCELLENT.
