KINDERGARTEN: the required elements

Theme: The Creation, the Vast Elemental forces of Light and Dark, High and Low, Visible and Invisible.

Theory: The re-enhancement of animism, reverence for the sacred, for the suchness of things.

Practice: Lessons plans that are not mediated through abstract instruction, reading, or computer applications; rather, after the insights of Montessori and Steiner, all ideas are implicit within concrete, sensual, kinesic and visionary experience: song, dance, story-telling, play, walks in the woods and along the shore.

Integrated Studies Project: Creation Myths.

Math Units: Counting, in English and other languages.
