Celebrating Me and My World

This curriculum begins by celebrating the wondrous qualities of the children themselves and expands outwardly to things and people around them.  It provides the children with experiences and opportunities to grow in their sense of trust and caring and to develop their self-identity and their sense of connectedness with all of life
