Guidelines for Preschool Learning Experiences


The Guidelines for Preschool Learning Experiences is based on the standards for PreK-K (or PreK-Grades 1-4) in the approved revisions of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. The Learning Guidelines are based chiefly on these standards, and are followed by ideas for learning experiences that preschool staff can use to design a multitude of foundational learning experiences for young children. The number of the related standard in the relevant Framework appears in a note after each Learning Guideline. Links to the Frameworks are primarily needed for aligning curriculum within public schools and for others involved in the continuity of curriculum from preschool (public and non-public) into kindergarten. If needed, relevant sections of the Frameworks may be checked on the website www.doe.mass.edu/frameworks. For the sake of eliminating repeti- tion, some areas have been combined when a topic appears in more than one Framework. Guidelines focus on what staff should do to help young children develop needed skills and knowledge rather than on what children are expected to know and do at the age of three or four. Although the Learning Guidelines reflect individual content areas, they should be used in an integrated way for curriculum planning and pedagogy.
