This booklet explains the objectives and curriculum of the program used in the California Children's Centers. This program is based upon the belief that each child should have an opportunity to fulfill his total development as an individual. The curriculum is geared to nine objectives: protecting health and growth, furthering physical development, fostering emotional development, guiding social development, developing language skills, building mathematical concepts, exploring science concepts, expanding aesthetic experiences, and enriching the environment. Listed (in table form) for each of the 9 curriculum phases are introductory goals, teaching methods, materials, equipment, and facilities for each area of learning. Included are appendixes on language and science objectives, parent education, and staff training for the preschool program. (DR)
