Standard guidelines are presented by the Oregon Department of Education for a prekindergarten public school program for 4-year-olds. The program emphasizes helping teachers work with parents at home and at school to form an effective team in building a child's self-concept, self-confidence and communicative skills. Each curriculum area is described in terms of goals and activities designed to help children master skills applicable in both school and home settings. Although the activities are designed especially for 4-year-olds, they can be adapted to the needs of younger children. Curriculum areas covered include: self-care, self-knowledge, home, school, neighborhood, community, speaking, listening, reading, writing, the arts, physical skills, thinking and reasoning, and social skills. Guidelines for program implementation deal with teacher qualifications, classroom setting and daily schedule. (Author/BF)
