  will work for all of all children, What works for
  one, may not be as ideal for another. You may
  have to purchase something different for a second
  child.
•  
• Consider your childs learning style and your
  teaching style when you choose curriculum. You
  have to like it, because you are the teacher, but
  ultimately, your child has to be interested in
  it.

Significant factors to consider

• Interest level
• How interested is the child in the curriculum? If
  a child is not excited about what they are
  learning, your enthusiasm will quickly die out
  too. Avoid curriculum that sounds rigorous and
  look at programs that are inviting and exciting!
  Think hands-on activities, sensory play, nature
  walks, reading together, and more.

• Developmentally Appropriate
• This is kind of a fancy way of saying Is this
  program at the childs level? If a child is
  constantly frustrated with an activity or topic
  and finding ways to avoid participating, then you
  probably have your answer. That doesnt mean that
  every great curriculum makes us want to stop what
  we are doing to go dive in, but it should capture
  the childs attention and be something they find
  engaging.

7

• Adaptability
• Is the curriculum going to meet your childs
  needs now and later in the year? Children develop
  in spurts! Sometimes children want to spend more
  than a week studying the same topic, and that is
  exciting. It is a sign of deeper learning and
  that a passion is building. Children learn best
  from topics they find meaning in, not just
  because we repeat ideas and concepts to them over
  and over again. Every curriculum should be
  adaptable so that we can spend the right amount
  of time focusing on it
