Beyond “Typical” Kindergarten
The Kids ‘R’ Kids 1500 series is an aggressive curriculum that goes well beyond what is expected of “typical” kindergarten curriculums. It is based on a Constructivism theory, which says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. An in-house team of over 20 curriculum experts, with more than 200 collective years of early education teaching experience, designed this series for children to create meaning out of their activities. It requires the children to be active participants of their learning; to be hands-on and to define and achieve the intended learning objectives.
Higher-level Advanced Program
The Kids ‘R’ Kids Kindergarten Curriculum is a higher-level advanced program based on 44 standards and 160 learning goals that exceed first grade standards. It is one of the most well-rounded and diverse curricula being taught. While there is freedom in thought and allowance for children to take their own explorations, it is very focused and deliberate. Each week is carefully planned out and builds on the previous. By the end of the series, children have completed a robust curriculum that encompassed everything from phonics, reading, math, science and everything in between. Graduates of Kids ‘R’ Kids Kindergarten are almost always better prepared than their peers.
