CURIOSITY CONNECTION™:
EARLY LEARNING STANDARDS

There are numerous ways to explore Curiosity Connection's different play areas. Everyone's experience is unique. We have suggested some activities that we hope will inspire creative play scenarios. Younger children will simplify the activities; older children will embellish them. Children seek out play experiences at their own level, so follow their lead, and enjoy yourselves. You never know where play will take you!

Our suggested activities are linked to the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards summarazied below. These standards are being used in pre-kindergarten programs across the state to prepare young children for school. The symbols that precede the activities highlight the primary learning opportunities in each experience.
