Photo of the Month: Studying Trees at Escalera Head Start

Taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather, the students of Escalera Head Start visited Central Park this month. The field trip coincided with their tree unit of study. Here they are measuring the circumference of trees.  

Our Head Start programs began using The Creative Curriculum Study Sequence last year. Study sequences last four to six weeks and explore concepts like wheels and trees.

October is National Head Start Awareness Month. Learn more about Head Start and Early Head Start at The Child Center, and how all our early childhood education programs emphasize hands-on, play-based learning that teaches children academic concepts in ways that make sense to them and get them excited about school!
