PA Pre-K Counts and Keystone STARS require that every program utilize a curriculum that is aligned with Pennsylvanias Learning Standards for Early Childhood. Whether it is locally designed, a published resource, or multiple resources, providers must demonstrate the way in which their materials are linked to the Standards, are comprehensive (focusing on all or most of the key learning areas of development) and age appropriate, using the Standards document that best matches the age of the children. This document provides a clear method to show the alignment of curriculum and the Pre-Kindergarten Standards. An outline of the standards and strands for each section of the Pre-Kindergarten Standards, to be used as a quick-reference guide, is below. After this guide, there is a grid in which curriculum and other resources may be listed to provide a picture of where in the program each standard is addressed. If you need additional assistance with this format, please contact your Regional Key.
