Little House Kindergarten

The curriculum meaningfully integrates subjects through living books and thematic connections between math, language arts, and real-world topics.

Stories and poems connect to letter learning (e.g., 'The Ants Go Marching' after learning letter A), and vocabulary themes span multiple subjects like emotions, farms, body parts, and nature

The curriculum provides basic guidance through parent guides and activity suggestions but minimal pedagogical support for multi-subject instruction.

The 44-page Parent Guide includes 'brief instructions,' 'lists of multisensory activities,' and 'one-page explanation' that makes it 'very easy to figure out how to use the program,' but lacks detailed teaching methodology

The curriculum relies heavily on worksheets and parent-led activities but lacks structured lesson plans with explicit teaching sequences.

The program provides '3 Step Daily Learning Guide' with worksheets and activity lists, but 'activities are not scheduled' and parents must 'choose activities that are meaningful and enjoyable for your family'

The program includes some review through repeated songs and reinforcement activities but lacks systematic retrieval practice across subjects.

Examples include repeating 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes' in both pre-K and kindergarten, and 'reinforcement activities include singing the alphabet song, completing alphabet dot-to-dots' after teaching letters

The program builds coherent knowledge through thematic integration but lacks systematic knowledge sequencing across subjects.

Topics like body parts, animals, and nature appear across both math and language arts, and living books are used to 'expand learning beyond those subjects' and help children 'absorb information about the world around them'

Math maintains appropriate kindergarten rigor with counting to 100, addition/subtraction, and geometric concepts, while language arts focuses on readiness skills rather than formal reading instruction.

Kindergarten math covers 'counting to 100, addition and subtraction (up to 10), reading and writing numbers to 20, skip counting, geometric shapes, time telling, and bar graphs,' while language arts emphasizes 'reading readiness rather than blending sounds and decoding words'
