Our Curriculum
Kaleidoscope School uses a relationship and play based curriculum called Emergent Curriculum. Emergent curriculum is a philosophy of teaching and way of planning that focuses on being responsive to children’s interests to create meaningful learning experiences. This philosophy prioritizes active participation, relationship building, flexible and adaptable methods, inquiry, and play-based learning. Curriculum is child-initiated, collaborative and responsive to the children’s needs. The keys to the success of this Emergent Curriculum are 1) knowing each child and family very well, and 2) a solid understanding of child development.
