Kindergarten Complete Program cover

Epi Kardia's literature based study Kindergarten Complete Program for home school and private school students contains everything you need (besides the library books!) to teach history, science, language arts (phonics, sound formation, handwriting, poetry, memorization, narration and more), fine arts, and projects --using Charlotte Mason methodology- to your Kindergarten student(s)!

This kindergarten curriculum utilizes high quality, beautifully illustrated whole, living books (not included) available at local and church libraries, used book stores or online.

The teacher's manual tells how to teach kindergarten---from the supplies you will need (and how to organize them) to ideas for occupying busy toddlers while you are teaching.

Complete daily lesson plans, with the above subjects integrated, are done for you so you have less preparation time and can spend more of your time teaching and just being a mommy.

As with the rest of Epi Kardia's unit study curriculum, KCP is organized by the chronological study of history and is divided into 11 historical units , with one additional unit on world geography. 

Most units are four weeks long, except the Civil War Unit (3 weeks) and the Immigration and Expansion Unit (5 weeks).  A ‘school week’ is defined in this program as four days.  

There are 45 four-day weeks for a total of 180 school days.  The Weekly Plans contain 45 weeks of plans, allowing some “wriggle room,” should you choose to spend an extra day or so on a unit or two.  If you decide to school 5 days a week, you will have 36 weeks of school.  Each day is numbered, but they are not assigned a specific day of the week to give you the flexibility to choose a 4-day or 5-day week. 

Remember, Kindergarten is supposed to be fun and flexible, so make any curriculum you choose work for you and your family. It is supposed to be a tool rather than enslave you!

 "A Child learns from 'Things.' --We older people, partly because of our maturer intellect, partly because of our defective education, get most of our knowledge through the medium of words.  We set the child to learn in the same way, and find him dull and slow.  Why?  Because it is only with a few words in common use that he associates a definite meaning; all the rest are no more to him than the vocables of a foreign tongue.  But set him face to face with a thing, and he is twenty times as quick as you are in knowledge about it; knowledge of things flies to the mind of a child as steel filings to magnet. 

Charlotte Mason (Vol. I, Part II --Out of Door Life For the Children, p. 67)

"The children must enjoy the book.  The ideas it holds must each make that sudden, delightful impact upon their minds, must cause that intellectual stir, which mark the inception of an idea."

Charlotte Mason (Vol. III, Chapter 16 ow to Use School-Books, p. 178)
