Curricular Orientations

Content Areas

Area of Social and

Personal Training (Cross-sectional)

Expression and Communication

Area

Knowledge of the World Area

Educating for values

Domain of the Language and approach to Writing, Domain of the Expressions with different aspects: Motor; Drama; Plastic and Musical, and Domain of the Mathematics.

Self discovery, discovery of others, discovery of the natural environment: das inter- relationship among spaces, materials and objects.

Components of the Preschool curriculum


These different areas of content should be considered as references to be taken into account in an overall approach and not as “airtight compartments” to be worked separately.

The action strategies will be based on the construction of the Curricular Project of the Classroom, the planning of several activities (that are based on the interests and characteristics of the group); study visits and planning and coordination with the 1st Cycle.

The development of learning should be based on motivation and curiosity of children involving the active participation in the activities of daily life.
