14 Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards The Office of Early Learning for the State of Florida has developed the Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards for parents, caregivers, and teachers. Standards are similar to the CDC s, but more specific to Florida goals.

15 Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards Three-Year-Olds Fine Motor Development Demonstrates increasing control of small muscles Shows improving eye-hand coordination Uses various drawing and art tools with developing coordination Mathematical Thinking Demonstrates interest in mathematical problem solving Sorts objects into groups by one characteristic Shows knowledge of numbers and counting Recognizes some geometric shapes Shows beginning understanding of spatial relationships and position words Demonstrates beginning ability to compare and contrast Engages in activities that explore measurement

16 Three-Year-Olds Florida Early Learning and Developmental Standards Scientific Thinking Uses senses to collect information through observation and exploration Begins to use simple tools for observing and investigating Begins to compare objects The Arts Uses many different creative art materials to express and explore Shows understanding and appreciation of artistic creations or events

17 SMART Start Designed for children ages 2-4 where science, math and art are incorporated into early learning experiences Hands-on learning in a sensory rich environment Emphasis is placed on the process of art and not the finished product. Uses parent participation

18 Benefits of Art Builds fine motor skills Enhances memory skills Develops hand-eye coordination Increases attention Encourages logic and reasoning Incorporating Mathematical and Scientific Thinking by Exploration Comparing, organizing, sorting and sequencing Measuring Recognizing patterns and shapes Observing, predicting, asking questions, understanding cause and effect Planning, designing, constructing, experimenting

19 Conclusion The library gives children the opportunity to develop and hone skills through play. Play-based-learning leads to success and self-esteem. The programs were developed to intentionally support developmental skills.

20 Other Programs Artsy Toddler: art program for toddlers Wonderworks: science program for preschoolers Books to Boogie: book and movement program for toddlers through preschool
