Curriculum
A child’s lifelong love for learning starts in preschool. Theory®’s curriculum uses neuroscience to create an impactful program designed around the way children learn.
What Makes The Theory® Preschools Curriculum Unique
A child’s lifelong love for learning starts in preschool. Tomorrow’s astronauts, senators, doctors, and chefs will get their start exploring science, history, reading, and more today. Theory®’s preschool curriculum uses neuroscience to create an impactful program designed around the way children learn.
The Science
Educational Neuroscience
Theory®’s preschool curriculum applies brain research to classroom practice. Also called “Mind, Brain, and Education,” Educational Neuroscience considers the development of our brains and the stages at which children can comprehend and grasp certain concepts. This interdisciplinary approach gives teaching practices a foundation in scientific research.
The Method
Circuit Theory® Education
Circuit Theory® Education is Theory®’s proprietary approach, based in Educational Neuroscience. It divides learning experiences into separate but related events, creating a complete circuit of new information for the learner.
Blue — Reading, writing, listening, and speaking
Green — Science, social science, history, and math
Red — Visual arts, music, theater, and dance
A circuit is complete once a student has participated in all three events. At Theory® Preschools, early learners complete one circuit every day they are in school — approximately three hours.
The Application
Monthly Themed Course
Courses at Theory® Preschools are month-long explorations into a subject matter. They are designed to excite young students and expose them to ideas and content not typically taught during the preschool years. Teachers use a variety of lesson formats to bring each course to life through Circuit Theory® Education.
Examples of engaging and exciting courses:
Culture Shock: Authors, Inventors, and Music That Changed the World · The Evolution of Modern Transportation · Life During Medieval Times: Life, Castles, and Treasured Folklore · A Culinary Tour of the World
