Kindergarten Curriculum OURSELVES, OUR COMMUNITY, OUR WORLD: WHAT MAKES A COMMUNITY? The Kindergarten curriculum goes hand in hand with children's natural curiosity and interest to learn. Social growth and cognitive skills are encouraged in creative, playful ways that surround the process of learning with enjoyment. Our yearlong core study of Ourselves, Our Community and Our World prepares Kindergarteners to embrace their individual strengths and understand how as individuals they contribute to our classroom community, our school community, and our larger global community. The progression from learning and sharing about themselves, to understanding and embracing their contributions to our classroom community and then to the broader world provides a way for young children to make sense of their experiences, understanding their uniqueness but also the things that unite us as people. This expanding world view serves as a catalyst for a broad range of learning experiences. Topics that help develop an understanding of ourselves and our immediate environment are explored in great depth and help promote further exploration and discovery.
