ABSTRACT

There is currently a debate as to whether academic content at kindergarten crowds out time spent in creative arts, free play, and physical activity. Analyzing kindergarten teachers' reports of their instruction from the ECLS-K:2011, this study examined whether core academic content or advanced academic content in math or English language arts (ELA) displaces time spent in creative arts, indoor free play, and physical activity. The results suggested that neither core academic content nor advanced academic content in either subject displaced physical ac-tivity. More time spent on advanced math and advanced ELA was associated with more time spent on creative arts.
However, teachers who reported spending more time on advanced math also reported spending less time on indoor free play.
