Abstract

The United States is looking to streamline the different concepts in the learning environment with different States being encouraged to adopt practices that are in line with other states provided they are adoptable. The State of Minnesota is no different as it is looking to adopt the Division of Early Childhood methods in their curriculum and ensure that children are able to learn in a good environment and develop their skills. Division of Early childhood (DEC) was initially conceptualized in in 1991 to provide guidance to the intervention methods and measures in early childhood and special education for children.

Approach to learning is also another aspect that is important in the program and ensures that practitioners can understand the different methods that are important in the learning process.
Creative arts is also one of the domains in the program whereby the children are engaged in different activities that help the children develop problem solving and verbal and non-verbal skills

[...] It is a conceptualized method and incorporates all children and the results for those children with disabilities are similar to the others. After talking with an early childhood education teacher he asserted that the program was an important part of the study objectives and gave the teachers a lot of insight on what they were expected to do.
