Our Curriculum & Programs

The first stage in a child's journey at Kido is in the Discoverers room. This room is designed to benefit children under 15 months although is flexible to meet each child's individual needs. Within the room we focus on your child's personal, social and emotional development, ensuring secure attachments with their key person and peers is fundamental to a child's ability to thrive within nursery life. Our highly skilled practitioners provide children with a range of age and stage appropriate activities to challenge their educational development, with particular focus on language development and physical development. The children enjoy free and guided play, art and music and messy play. Practitioners will work closely with parents and carers to follow nap and food schedules and ensure a smooth transition from home to nursery and vice versa.

Once your child is a secure walker their journey continues in our Adventurers class. Within this classroom the children will experience a more indepth variety of the curriculum suited to their age, interests and ability. Outdoor activities are embraced for longer periods of time now children are more mobile and practitioners work closely with parents to foster children's personal, social and emotional development building on skills like toilet training and eating skills.

Experimenters is our entry class to pre school and where children thrive in the preparation for school. Practitioners work with each child's individual needs to create an enabling learning environment, to facilitate exceptional experiences. The children will benefit from Kido Explorer Days, a child initiated, project based learning day, where through skilled observation practitioners can plan unique activities to stimulate the children's curiosity and desires for knowledge in specific topics. Topics are enhanced by class outings and first hand experiences where possible or through sharing of experiences within the Kido international community. Parent participation is always encouraged should a topic and parents skill set align. During time in the experimenters class children will also be encouraged to participate in Kido STEM classes. Extending their knowledge of science, technology, engineering and math

Pathfinders is the final stage of a child's educational journey at Kido, by the time a child leaves Kido we ensure they are equipped with the educational and social skills to flourish in primary school. A love of learning and desire to achieve is our hope for every child. Within this class children benefit from rich learning experiences with particular focus on school readiness tailored to each child's individual journey. The children embrace all areas of the curriculum and local opportunities to enhance learning. Children will experience a mixture of adult lead learning and child initiated learning through play
