After the COS and the accompanying textbooks are adopted by local school districts, HOW the material is taught to our children is still up to the teacher, depending on the amount of freedom the local district allows the teacher.
Teachers can actively lead a child's learning, structure playtime, and present new information, or they can allow the child more independence to explore these areas for herself. When developing your philosophy of child care, decide what sort of role the teacher should play, and why you feel this way. In a play-based program, the teacher's role is typically less dominant, while academic programs tend to be more teacher-led. Consider what you might want and expect for a child in your program.
