Goals and Objectives
The California Department of Education’s Preschool Learning Foundations guide what we teach children. These foundations were developed to align expectations for preschool learning with the state’s kindergarten standards. The foundations are at the heart of the Child Development Education’s approach to promoting preschool learning. Teachers use best practices, curricular strategies, and instructional techniques that assist children in learning the knowledge and skills described in the preschool learning foundations.
