At Eeny Meeny Preschool, our curriculum is rooted in the principles of Family Childcare Teaching Strategies and guided by the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, New York State Early Learning Guidelines, and the CDC Developmental Milestones. These research-based frameworks ensure that every child receives a well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning, tailored to their unique developmental stage and individual needs.
Our approach blends structured learning with intentional play, creating a balance between teacher-led instruction and child-initiated exploration. We believe that children learn best through meaningful interactions, sensory-rich experiences, and environments that nurture curiosity, independence, and creativity. Each activity is designed to promote growth across five core domains—social-emotional, cognitive, language, physical, and creative development—while fostering essential life skills such as problem-solving, empathy, and resilience.
Using the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, our educators plan lessons that build progressively on developmental goals, ensuring continuity from infancy through preschool. The NYS Early Learning Guidelines provide a state-aligned roadmap for age-appropriate expectations, while the CDC Milestones help us monitor each child’s progress and communicate effectively with families about growth and development.
Our goal is to create a holistic learning environment that meets every child where they are—celebrating individuality, supporting strengths, and providing the tools to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
