The PITC Curriculum
Enhancing the relationship-based, responsive approach to early care promoted by the PITC, new PITC Curriculum planning tools and strategies support the efforts of family care providers and center-based teachers to facilitate high-quality, individualized learning and healthy development for children from 0-3. Unique to the PITC Curriculum is a planning process based on reflection, observation, and documentation of play and learning that respects each child’s developing abilities, individual strengths and needs, family culture(s), and language(s).
