Our Curriculum
At The Children’s World School, we have an original curriculum that is student driven and play-based. Each month, our school has overarching themes that our students learn about through age-appropriate activities that are tailored towards each individual classroom.
An example of this would be the way we study Japan for a month. Our older students, The Brown Bears class, might learn about the Japanese tradition of O-Bon by reading non-fiction books, or discovering how things sink and float by trying to make their own lantern float. Whereas, The Koalas, our youngest students, will also be learning about Japan, but they will be listening to traditional Japanese music, playing with fabric from Japan, hearing their teacher count in Japanese, and interacting with hands on realia from that culture.
Children of all ages learn through culturally enriched, hands-on, play-based activities.
We also allow our students to guide their learning by exploring more of what interests them. Our teachers are flexible to add things to their lesson plans as they see what interests and engages children in their classes. We aim to include additional areas of study in order to let our students explore different areas of interest. This will give our students the capability to grow and learn in different ways.
Additionally, our students participate in monthly classes of yoga, music and language.
Daily Schedule
Our program operates Monday-Friday from 9:00am-12:00pm. Our school year will run from mid August to the end of May.
Our calendar is based off the Jeffco School Calendar.
A healthy snack will be provided each day for each student and will be served mid morning. If students stay for the extended day they will need to bring their own lunch. We are a nut free facility to accommodate children with allergies and work closely with those parents to make sure their children are safe with participating in our program.
