KG Curriculum at Heartful Kids
At Heartful Kids, We create a safe, nurturing environment that encourages curiosity, exploration, and learning at each child’s pace. Guided by Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy, “Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom,” we prioritise a hands-on, immersive experience, focusing on the process of learning rather than immediate results. Here’s a breakdown of our curriculum components:
Project-Based Learning
Our project-based learning approach encourages children to explore real-world concepts and solve problems through hands-on activities. This method develops critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity. Children work on long-term projects that integrate multiple subjects, promoting curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Nature-Integrated Learning
Nature is the best classroom for young learners. Our nature-integrated curriculum allows children to engage with the outdoors, observe natural processes, and use nature as a rich resource for learning. Whether exploring the campus garden, learning about the environment, or using natural materials for creative activities, children develop a deep connection to the world around them.
Blended Literacy Approach
Our blended literacy approach combines whole language and phonics instruction elements. Children are encouraged to explore reading and writing through context-based learning, phonemic awareness, and storytelling. This approach ensures that each child builds a strong foundation in language skills, fostering comprehension and decoding abilities.
Montessori-Inspired EPL (Exercise of Practical Life) Activities
We incorporate Montessori’s practical life exercises (EPL) to enhance fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, focus, and attention. These activities help children develop the physical and cognitive skills needed for more complex tasks. The repetition of these exercises builds independence, concentration, and self-confidence.
Hands-On, Experiential Learning
We emphasise learning through direct experience. Our curriculum aims to engage all the senses, offering children opportunities to touch, feel, explore, and experiment with the world around them. Hands-on learning activities like arts and crafts, building, role-playing, and outdoor exploration make learning fun and meaningful.
XSEED Curriculum Aligned with NEP
Our kindergarten curriculum follows the XSEED program, which aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP). This curriculum emphasises experiential learning, critical thinking, and creativity, ensuring our children are well-prepared for future academic success. XSEED’s child-centred approach encourages active participation and fosters a love for learning from an early age.
