Hello NAEYC Friends-
I don't know if this is an allowable topic, but I wonder if there are any faith-based programs that still use WEE Learn Curriculum? It has been the backbone of our Preschool curriculum the last 26 years and we have supplemented to it with all the resources we have available.
I'm just wondering if we are dinosaurs in our program or if there are others out there? It has been out of print for years, but I just found a new supplies in Florida. I think it was first printed in the mid-1960's.
That said, we are a developmentally appropriate practice and lean toward nature-inspired/reggio-inspired in our methods. Each year, I think I spend more time working to educate our families about the importance of play, nature, and unstructured time. And each year it seems that the world is after all of them, trying to convince parents that their children need to learn from screens and spend all their time in structured activities.
I appreciate this hive mind of the forum! Thank you, friends.
