Content standards have been developed to describe appropriate outcomes for children at the end of their preschool experience and entering kindergarten. The standards have been developed based on the research that supports the significance of the early years in future student achievement and can be used by all early childhood education programs in Nevada as a guide for child outcomes for preschool. The standards are a published list of descriptions of what most children should know and be able to do before they enter kindergarten. The standards are focused on the following six areas:
- Creative Arts (visual arts, creative thinking, music and movement and dramatic play);
-
Language/Literacy;
-
Math;
-
Physical Development/Health;
-
Science;
-
Social Studies/Social Emotional
