Experience Early Learning is an early education publisher of research-based curriculum, assessment, training and teacher resources that foster a joy for learning through sensory-based experiences. Nationally recognized for its effective and valid methods, Experience Curriculum supports a child's social-emotional, physical and cognitive development. Founded in 2007 by Leslie Falconer, Experience Early Learning is rooted in a strong mission to radically increase access to high quality, research-based teaching tools and curricula that inspire children, parents and teachers through emergent and shared learning. As a global leader in early education, the company delivers curriculum and play-based learning to millions of children and teacher across the globe in diverse settings. Consistent with the research by both John Dewey and Jean Piaget, Experience Curriculum believes that children learn best through creative expression, play and open-ended discovery. Thematic curriculum kits equip educators in providing flexible, hands-on experiences in both classrooms and homes. Because at the core of all learning is a trusting and loving relationship, the Experience Curriculum System uniquely pairs daily lesson plans with play-based materials and embedded drip training to ensure educators of all experience levels are equipped to successfully implement play-based learning and nurturing care to their young children. Offered at three levels: infant, toddler and preK, the Experience Curriculum System grows with the child. The curriculum weaves 32 research-based skills through daily projects and includes materials to invite children to learn through art, music, logic games and hands-on investigations. Experience Curriculum is flexible, adaptable and easy to use in childcare centers, preschools and at home.
