Curriculum Design for Three- to Five-Year-Olds

Creative curricula for explorers and inquirers

Design meaningful, responsive curricula that reflect the ways young children learn best – through play, exploration, and intentional teaching

Whether you’re new to early years education or an experienced teacher looking to refine your approach, this course is designed to support you in developing meaningful, responsive curricula for children aged three to five.

This short course explores how to build curriculum that reflects the capabilities, interests, and inquiries of three- to five-year-olds — grounded in evidence-informed pedagogies and intentional teaching strategies. Across four self-paced, flexible modules, you’ll explore how to develop curriculum that values children as capable thinkers and inquirers, and supports their growth through rich, engaging learning experiences. You’ll gain insights from curriculum experts and practicing teachers through engaging video content, see real-world examples of curriculum in action, and apply your learning with practical, interactive components.

Fit your learning around your schedule, reflect on your own teaching, and finish with a curriculum plan tailored to the unique needs of the tamariki you work with.
