Our Core Focus Areas for Jr. KG Innovators

Our Jr. KG curriculum is rich and multi-faceted, preparing children for the academic and social world of Senior Kindergarten and beyond.

1. Advanced Language & Literacy We focus on moving from recognizing letters to understanding how they work together, building the foundation for confident reading and writing.

• Activities: Phonics and sound blending, sight word recognition, story sequencing and narration, journaling with pictures and simple words.

• Skills Gained: Writing their own name and other simple words, forming complete sentences, enhanced listening comprehension, and a strong pre-reading vocabulary.

2. Mathematical Reasoning & Problem Solving We introduce mathematical concepts in a practical, hands-on way, helping children see numbers as tools for solving real-world problems.

• Activities: Number sense up to 20, simple addition and subtraction with objects, creating and extending complex patterns, introduction to measurement, time, and data collection (e.g., graphing).

• Skills Gained: Logical thinking, quantitative reasoning, applying mathematical concepts to daily situations, and foundational problem-solving skills.

3. Scientific Inquiry & Exploration We empower children to think like scientists by encouraging them to question, experiment, and observe the world around them.

• Activities: Conducting simple, hands-on science experiments, observing and documenting changes in nature, learning about life cycles, and exploring concepts like magnetism and simple machines.

• Skills Gained: Critical thinking, forming hypotheses, observational skills, and a deeper understanding of the natural and physical world.

4. Social Competence & Emotional Intelligence As children become more self-aware, we guide them in developing crucial social skills, empathy, and emotional regulation.

• Activities: Collaborative group projects, guided discussions on problem-solving and conflict resolution, taking on classroom responsibilities, and understanding community roles.

• Skills Gained: Effective communication, teamwork, empathy, self-regulation, and a sense of responsibility within a group.

5. Developing Independence & Life Skills We actively foster self-reliance, giving children the confidence to manage their own tasks and environment.

• Activities: Managing their own belongings (bags, lunchboxes), following multi-step instructions, and taking ownership of classroom routines.

• Skills Gained: Increased independence, organizational skills, personal responsibility, and self-confidence.
