Play, Create, Discover: Building Early Learning Across the Curriculum brings together language and literacy, social studies with art, music, and movement, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) into one integrated resource for children birth through age eight. Grounded in developmentally appropriate practice, this text emphasizes the power of play, creativity, and exploration in fostering curiosity and learning across domains. Future educators will find practical strategies for designing inclusive, culturally responsive activities that support emergent literacy, spark creative expression, and introduce foundational STEM concepts. With guidance for planning engaging environments and implementing hands-on, play-based experiences, this book equips students to build meaningful curriculum that nurtures the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth of young learners.
