Re: Adlerian Preschool

There is no standard curriculum, since some preschools follow Adler's teachings and others follow Dreikurs' ideas. I would ask each school to describe their approach.

For many years I held weekly parent and teacher education workshops on Adlerian child guidance at several Montessori preschools. The curriculum was primarily Montessori but the psychological perspective was Adlerian. We emphasized the values of encouragement, mutual respect, cooperation, and contribution.

Some parents struggled with these ideas that ran counter to their own upbringing. Adlerian family counseling was also offered and sometimes strongly recommended by the teachers or preschool director.

If you are not familiar with Adlerian child guidance principles, read http://go.ourworld.nu/hstein/guid.htm .
