At Teaching Strategies, we believe children learn best from the world around them, and their exploration begins in your preschool classroom. High-quality classroom materials encourage children to investigate and play, support shared writing experiences, and allow them to make their own discoveries. Providing the right classroom resources helps guide teachers daily instruction and drives teacher effectiveness. Teaching Strategies is excited to share our new preschool classroom materials and our exclusive nonfiction books with you, an engaging new expansion of our connected ecosystem.

The Essentials Kit: All of the Right Materials. All in One Kit.

The Essentials Kit ensures preschool children and teachers have access to the materials they need to seamlessly guide instruction and engage in meaningful daily learning experiences in all areas of your classroom.

  • For the Classroom: bilingual print materials that children and teachers will use daily in their preschool classroom, including items such as open-ended question starters, charts and graphs to record children’s findings, interest area labels, block labels, and charts that support social–emotional development
  • For Investigation: materials that support observation and exploration, problem-solving, organizing, and shared writing experiences, including clipboards, measuring tapes, eyedroppers, and tweezers.
  • For Intentional Play: materials that intentionally support all areas of development and promote open exploration of literacy, math, science, technology, social studies, and the arts, including tangrams, flashlights, and a replica microphone

The Essentials Kit was built to enhance the teacher’s ability to implement The Creative Curriculum for Preschool with fidelity, but the materials can be used to support any preschool classroom. Check out what’s included.
