Kindergarten is a year of amazing
development in these areas:
• SOCIAL SKILLS- learning how to interact
productively as they become more social.
• CONFLICT RESOLUTION- learning how to problem
solve effectively and independently with
peers.
• LIFE SKILLS- learning how to be independent
in self-care and work management.
• COMMUNITY SKILLS- learning how to function as
a positive and productive member of the
group.
Every Child is
Unique
• Every child develops and
progresses in their own
way and at their own
pace.
• At ISM we meet each
child where they are
with a differentiated
program.
• Avoid comparing your
child with others and
focus on the growth and
progress you see in
them.
Our Curriculum:
• Inquiry Based
• How to Learn Vs. What to Learn
• Develop a passion for learning
dispositions
-caring
-creative
-self-directed
-balanced
-responsible
-ethical/fair
transdisciplinary
skills
-research
-personal management
and reflection
-critical thinking
and problem solving
-connection and
collaboration
-communication

Play in Kindergarten?
Play for young children is not recreation
activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor
escape activity.... Play is thinking time for
young children. It is language time. Problem-
solving time. It is memory time, planning
time, investigating time. It is organization-
of-ideas time, when the young child uses his
mind and body and his social skills and all
his powers in response to the stimuli he has
met.
--James L. Hymes, Jr., child development specialist, author
Inquirers
Empowering our children to be:
We want children to be
good at asking
questions, not just
answering them.
Collaborators
We want children to be
able to work
cooperatively and
collaboratively.
Speakers & Listeners
The importance of oral
language cannot be
understated! It is the
foundation for understanding
the world and the base for
reading and writing
development.
Readers We want children to be
motivated to read and
develop a love of
reading and books.
Please read to your
child in their first
language every day!
Writers
We want children to see
themselves as writers,
to have confidence and
take risks.
Mathematicians
Children need authentic
and investigative
experiences to develop
a solid number sense
and problem solving
skills.
Scientists
We want to encourage a
sense of wonder and
curiosity.
Artists
We want to foster
children’s ability to
express themselves in
different ways.
Global
Citizens
At ISM we are in a very
privileged position to
have a wealth of
culture at our
fingertips. We
encourage children to
value all cultures and
respect the differences
and similarities.

  • 16. Play in Kindergarten? Play for young children is not recreation activity,... It is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity.... Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem- solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization- of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met. --James L. Hymes, Jr., child development specialist, author
