The Foundation
Daily Resources
The Foundation provides teachers with an overview of the theory and research behind
best practices for teaching kindergarten students, along with everything they need to
know to support project-based investigations in the kindergarten classroom.
The Daily Resources are instructional tools that provide guidance and support
for purposeful instruction. On the following pages, we will highlight each of these
resources in depth.
Volume 1: The Foundation
presents all the information teachers need
to establish a strong classroom community.
It summarizes the research foundation of the
curriculum and addresses five key aspects of
the curriculum: how children develop and learn,
the learning environment, what children learn,
caring and teaching, and partnering with families.
In addition, The Foundation outlines the five
learning stations: construction and makerspace,
math and games, library, arts, and discovery.
Learning stations can be accommodated in any
classroom environment.
Volume 2: Objectives for
Development & Learning
describes in detail the 38 objectives in
The Creative Curriculum® for Kindergarten.
The volume includes progressions for the
whole of early childhood from birth through
third grade, helping kindergarten teachers
see the important role they play in building
a strong foundation for every child’s future
development and learning. Based on an
extensive review of the latest research and
professional literature in early childhood
education, these objectives include predictors
of school success and are aligned with early
learning standards for each state.
