The early social studies curriculum examines the child's beginning separation from the family and focuses on the development of autonomy and a positive sense of self.
Emphasis is placed on the development of social skills necessary to be part of a group. Children learn to assert their own needs as well as to recognize the needs and rights of others as they move toward cooperative play.
As they grow and develop, they will explore the family, classroom and the school environment and will begin to earn more about their neighborhood and community. They will also study different occupations and the world of work.
