The Experience Research Foundation outlines the latest research and theories in the field of early childhood education and forms the basis of the skills reinforced throughout all Experience Early Learning curricula, used by The Bethany Readiness Academy. Because development is gradual and reflects cumulative influences over time, each child’s learning journey is unique. Educators will use this research foundation to better understand the theory and research behind how and why a child’s knowledge develops, as well as what skills, concepts and approaches to learning will support the overall growth and development of the child.
This program includes skills that research has shown to be strong predictors of success in school and later in life. These skills are presented on a developmental continuum to represent the ongoing process of early childhood growth and development. They are grouped into nine domains of learning:
1. Social & Emotional Development
2. Approaches to Learning
3. Physical Development
4. Language & Literacy Development
5. Mathematics
6. Science
7. Social Studies
8. Creative Arts
9. Second Language Acquisition
The Experience Early Learning Assessment and Curriculum System offers families, educators, and states a comprehensive and multidimensional view of a child's learning journey by mapping the child's learning with the Developmental Continuum of Skills and documenting the progress within the assessment framework. This system recognizes the importance of inviting educators and families to collaboratively observe children, set learning goals, and communicate in ways that acknowledge child developmental theory and value cultural reciprocity. Cultural reciprocity is based on mutual respect, communication, collaboration and negotiation of culturally based beliefs, values and assumptions (Day and Parlakian 2003). The Experience Developmental Continuum of Skills offers measurable benchmarks that can be observed during meaningful experiences within a child's natural play or typical school routine. Therefore, it is inclusive of children who are developmentally accelerated, those with developmental delays or disabilities and dual-language learners.
