Our Curriculum

At kinderzimmer, our goal is to provide every child with a diverse range of experiences that foster independence, exploration, and wonder.

Our curriculum is designed to create a secure and inspiring environment, where children are excited by our amazing planet and eagerly anticipate the learning opportunities each new day brings.

Our 3-strand approach is foundational to our educational philosophy. We have developed a unique curriculum by drawing on the theories of three leading early years educators: Steiner, Froebel, and Montessori. This approach has enabled us to build a curriculum centered on three core principles: Independence, Exploration, and Wonder. These principles guide our educational strategies and learning activities, ensuring a holistic and engaging early years education experience that supports each child’s growth and developmental needs.

Practical Skills

Equipping children with independence and self esteem through tasks, such as: Baking, Gardening, Woodwork, Sewing, Painting, Self Care, and Clay Work.

Process Not Product

Exploring each child's desire or fascination is the focus. We make and do and build to acquire skills and explore possibilities.

Fantasy and Fable

We encourage children to imagine, pretend, imitate and reenact. We retell traditional and contemporary tales to help them explore concepts such as right and wrong, kindness and truth.

What will our Building Blocks be Today?

Our playrooms include versatile resources rather than an abundance of single-purpose toys. Today wooden blocks may be a rocket ship, tomorrow a toaster!

An Ear for Music

We encourage children to join in with lullabies, finger games, action songs, traditional and contemporary nursery rhymes.

Getting Out

Our commitment to valuing play outside and developing an appreciation of Nature, as well as regular excursions to parks and local area.

Our Playrooms

Our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed to promote imaginative play, resilience, and spontaneous learning.

Our rooms are crafted to enhance the kinderzimmer approach, featuring collaborative spaces, self-selecting shelves, and a workbench for free exploration. Additionally, we provide a diverse array of educational resources that encourage creative play and support self-directed learning.

We prioritise outdoor play as a key element of our pedagogical approach. Each Kinderzimmer play garden is carefully designed with zonal areas to optimize space usage, including a sand pit, water play area, allotment, free play track, and a dedicated shaded area for babies. These features support a well-rounded learning experience that fosters physical development and exploration.

Creating Healthy Habits

Our multifunctional kinderzimmer kitchens provide a unique opportunity for children to become comfortable in early years with cooking and nutrition. They not only enjoy meals together as they would at home, but also acquire essential daily life skills such as serving, sharing, and clearing away.

In addition, children learn farm-to-table practices using fresh produce grown in our garden, understand food safety, and engage in baking nutritious snacks for their classmates. They also get creative with activities like clay modelling and participate in messy science experiments. This approach integrates hands-on learning with healthy eating habits, promoting both culinary skills and explorative play.
