Embracing an interdisciplinary approach, a balance between child-selected and child-designed activities, and teacher-developed and teacher-guided activities is included throughout the day. This combination affords each child the opportunity to explore individual interests while gaining exposure to a wider variety of ideas. The link between these two elements is evident as the children incorporate new knowledge and skills throughout their play activities and the teachers integrate the children’s interests into the units of study.

All curricular decisions are guided by the data collected during careful observations of the children. The data include the children’s interests, talents, and levels of development in each domain. These observations help the teachers in developing meaningful responses to the children’s play, selecting appropriate interdisciplinary themes, and facilitating problem solving activities.
