DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONE CURRICULUM
What are developmental milestones?
Developmental milestones are markers used to measure a child's growth in the following five primary areas of development:
-
Speech & Language
-
Cognitive/ Intellectual
-
Social & Emotional
-
Fine-Motor
-
Gross-Motor
Why is the developmental milestone curriculum important?
It is important to ensure learners that are promoted to grade 1, have achieved all the necessary developmental milestones to ensure growth as a health, happy, well-adjusted individual.
The milestones a child reaches will largely determine what he/she will be able to learn and accomplish.
Although every child is unique and will grow at their own pace; advancing through the different stages of development is crucial for all children.
