Charlotte Mason Kindergarten Curriculum

Bright Hours Kindergarten is a gentle, thoughtfully crafted 36-week Charlotte Mason curriculum, made simple to implement for even the newest of teachers.

What it includes:
❀ A rich and delightful booklist
❀ A practical, helpful Teacher Guide that will prepare you for implementing every element of the curriculum "feast"
❀ A complete daily schedule for each of the 36 (four-day) weeks
❀ 18 high-resolution printable artist prints for picture study
❀ Blank world map with illustrated labels for geography lessons
❀ Links to all the hymns, folk songs, and composer studies that are scheduled

In this "mini-feast" for children of tender years, your child will...
❀ Be introduced to enchanting classic tales like Winnie the Pooh, Beatrix Potter, and Grimm's Fairy tales alongside enriching stories of early American history and heroes
❀ "Travel" around the world through story, meeting children from every continent of the world and how they live (mapping as they go along!)
❀ Experience beauty & truth through exposure to famous paintings, enriching hymns, whimsical folk songs, poetry, and timeless composer studies.
❀ Engage in thoughtful devotions as they grow in faith
❀ Begin gentle lessons in reading, handwriting, arithmetic, and recitation
❀ Be drawn into relationship with the world around them through nature study and lore

“To introduce children to literature is to install them in a very rich and glorious kingdom, to bring a continual holiday to their doors, to lay before them a feast exquisitely served. But they must learn to know literature by being familiar with it from the very first.” - CHARLOTTE MASON
