Thematic Approach

The Thematic Approach works well in preschool settings as teachers organise their subject matter around a unifying theme. Science, Language Arts, Social Studies and Mathematics are integrated around a chosen to see the big picture.

This approach cultivates and encourages the students' interest. If the curriculum were to be planned around the theme "A Butterfly", students read books and poetry involving caterpillars or butterflies, create colorful compositions of butterflies, learn about the butterfly's metamorphosis and so on.
