The Creative Way: Early Childhood Education Toolkit (Toolkit) is designed to provide all the information needed to set up and implement a project office-based early childhood education program. Included are general guidelines and guidance about the physical space of the classroom and learning centers, along with characteristics of teachers and early learners. Also provided is information about the role of parents and community outreach and involvement. Helpful hints are highlighted throughout the Toolkit.

The Toolkit explains the program’s pedagogy and lays out the curriculum in six content areas—literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, and nutrition. Sample lesson plans, activities, and assessment tools are provided as a starting point to each teacher’s own activity and resource bank.

The information is synthesized so that activities, tools, and templates are easily accessible to the teacher and can suit the needs of the teacher or of the children being taught.

Each toolkit is easily customized for the country environment in which it will be used.
