Big Day for PreK is a proven comprehensive early childhood education program that builds upon
children’s curiosity and interest and encourages them to explore, play, and learn about the world around
them. Development of Big Day was informed by a team of expert researchers and practitioners, led by
Dr. Anne Cunningham. Big Day prepares preschool children for kindergarten through intentional and
engaging learning opportunities that build the necessary foundations in essential learning domains. The
promotion of social-emotional development is integrated into the curriculum, helping children build social
competence skills, improve self-control, and develop relationships with their teachers and peers. Big
Day provides a full- or half-day curriculum, an extensive collection of classic and contemporary
children’s literature and nonfiction text, intensive language and early literacy development, technology
that connects children, teachers, and families, and 100% equity in English and Spanish.
Overview
The curriculum is designed to ensure children acquire knowledge, skills, and understanding each day
through hands-on experience, purposeful play, and teacher-led instruction. The learning experiences
include social-emotional development, oral language, literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, art,
and physical development. The organizing features of the curriculum are the Big Experiences—Circle
Time and Story Time—that integrate learning domains and provide an anchor for conversation, play,
and learning. Each Big Experience is accompanied by activities that provide opportunities to solidify and
extend learning and provide responsive instruction. Small Group Instruction targets essential literacy
and math skills, allowing teachers to provide focused instruction, guidance, and feedback in key skills
and reteach using alternative procedures or modalities. Learning Centers time provides children with the
opportunity for intentional play, social interaction, and independent exploration.
Implementation
Flexible implementation for both full- and half-day PreK
Materials
