Six main curriculum content areas, which parallel the dimensions of school readiness identified by the National Education Goals Panel, organize active learning in HighScope infant-toddler programs (see box to the right). Within these areas are 42 key developmental indicators (KDIs). Each KDI is a statement that identifies an observable behavior reflecting a child's knowledge and skills in these six areas.
