Pathfinders (3 years to 4 years)

The Pathfinders level is the next stage of a child's educational journey at Kido. Within this class, children benefit from rich learning experiences with a particular focus on school readiness tailored to each child's individual learning journey. The children of this learning level embrace all curriculum areas and local opportunities to enhance, continue, deepen, and further challenge their learning. Children will experience a mixture of adult lead and child-initiated learning experiences through play, exploration, investigation, and structured learning. During their time in the Pathfinder class, children will continue participating in the Kido academic modules of K-Schol, K-Math, K-STEM, Studio K, K-Gym, and Explorer Days extending their knowledge of concepts and skills across all areas. During this learning level, children become increasingly independent and self-motivated through the various educational quests they go on and the methods of working they experience. They will experience working independently, in pairs, and in teams during the Explorer Days project journeys and take on various roles within their groups to drive their learning forward. The Pathfinder's age group is for children between the ages of 3 years and 3 months and 4 years and 3 months.
