Pinecone Path is a year-long curriculum, with 30 weeks total of instruction.
Pinecone Path employs three mutually supportive types of instruction: topic-based units of whole-class instruction, targeted small-group lessons, and play centers.
Whole-class and small-group lessons are intentionally short—approximately 12 minutes each—to accommodate the attention span of four- and five-year-olds and to allow for busy educators to easily fit instruction into their day.
