Early Learning Classroom

Mrs. Boyd’s Classroom

“Standards are an essential first step for designing effective

preschool curricula since they represent an agreed upon

agenda for teaching and learning. The Illinois Early Learning

Standards are excellent because they recognize the

interconnectedness of emotional, social, cognitive, and

physical development and learning—the whole child. Like

all good standards, they should be used as the base for

reflective teachers as they create learning experiences that

build on what children already know and capture their

interest in learning.”
