Lifelong Learners
The gains made in preschool are fundamental to a child’s development and academic success. To make those necessary gains, children must first and foremost develop a positive attitude towards learning. Our curriculum is designed to spark children’s love of learning.
Blueprint provides a detailed set of plans for Pre-K teachers to deliver excellent, purposeful, and intellectually rich instruction.
In Blueprint, early learning skills, concepts and behaviors are taught in the context of 10 related monthly themes.

The curriculum themes are intentionally structured and sequential. Blueprint includes over 1200 model lessons and activities, which are aligned to a carefully sequenced learning domain objectives. These objectives progressively build from less to more complex with the goal of supporting children as they move through their individual developmental trajectory of learning.
Blueprint Builds Capacity in Teachers
As a professional development organization, we develop and enhance teacher’s knowledge of best practices and we infused our expertise and knowledge throughout the curriculum. We understand how to create lessons that promote high quality instruction such as:
how to structure a lesson
- how to balance teacher and children’s contributions
- how to engage children
- how to express ideas in child-friendly language
- how to make learning accessible to children with all skill levels, background knowledge and language abilities
That’s why Blueprint is built with varying levels of teacher support in each of our lessons. The objectives and general teacher moves for the veteran, the scripted teacher language and related activities for the new teacher. By strengthening their knowledge, and supporting their implementation of key practices, Blueprint serves as a professional development resource that will benefit teachers’ continued growth.
