Our Advanced
Kindergarten curriculum is designed to help nurture skills in all areas of development.
It implements an nature-inspired, emergent philosophy blended with theories of Maria Montessori, Piaget and Reggio Emilia.
In an inspiring setting that embraces nature, promotes creative abilities, and interconnectedness of all life, children will nourish their sense of wonder as they explore the various learning centers. The layout of the room is based on principles of simplicity, beauty and order. It is warm and inviting and filled with the key aspects of culture, people and the Earth, including plants, art, music and natural materials.
The kindergarten program here at Green Cube, places emphasis on helping children to develop a rapport with their environment and to support them as they develop physical, social and intellectual independence. Curriculum Learning Objectives include skills in Numeracy, Counting, Literacy, Language Skill (expressive and receptive), Colours, Shapes and Opposites, Also, Mathematics, Addition and Subtraction, Time, Daily Writing, Creatives, Social/Emotional Development, and Yoga, Mediation and Mindfulness.

LOOSE PARTS CAN BE USED ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER MATERIALS. OBJECTS AND MATERIALS ARE DESIGNED TO BE OPEN-ENDED; LEARNING FOCUSES ON THE PROCESS VS THE PRODUCT.)
Kindergarten Classroom Layout
Our kindergarten classroom’s layout fosters, nurtures and promotes the ‘creative process’ of learning and development. It prioritizes emotional intelligence and self-awareness by creating learning spaces which are designated, defined and arranged using prevocational tactics. With an understanding of the rapid growth through stages kinders undergo, this classroom environment reflects flexibility and responsiveness. Learning centers are modified, rearranged and reorganized periodically to specifically meet the needs and interests of children in that group.
