Waisman Early Learning Program is proud to offer children ages 12 months to 5 years of age a “whole child” focused curriculum. At the center of all curriculum is the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS). WMELS focuses on the five domains of development: Health and Physical, Social-Emotional, Language and Communication, Approaches to Learning, Cognition and General Knowledge.Our center follows the research-based Creative Curriculum as well as our own Changing, Learning, Growing play-based curriculum.
- The Creative Curriculum incorporates early learning standards to help build early learning literacy skills while emphasizing individualized instructions for each age group.
- Our Changing, Learning, Growing curriculum focuses on the developmental continuum rather than objectives by age. In addition, Waisman Early Childhood Program uses the Kindness Curriculum to support our students in their social and emotional development.
