At Sesame Street Private Nursery, we operate a themed curriculum, based on the Core Knowledge curriculum, a US accredited curriculum reflecting evidence-based and international best practice in early years and child development. The idea behind Core Knowledge is simple and powerful: knowledge builds on knowledge. The more you know, the more you are able to learn. Delivery of the curriculum and, under nursery provision, incorporates all elements of 21st century international best practices in Early Year’s education.
By outlining the precise content that every child should learn in language arts and literature, history and geography, mathematics, science, music and the visual arts, the Core Knowledge curriculum represents a first-of-its kind effort to identify the foundation knowledge every child needs. The curriculum is as follows:
