The science materials support the specific areas in Physical sciences, Earth sciences, Life sciences and other studies within this area. Science studies and materials enable the child to observe, explore and perform experiments in all or more areas of:

  • Botany - plant care, tree and leaf studies, flowers, gardening

  • Zoology - animal husbandry, animals kingdoms, vertebrate/invertebrate, life cycles

Life Science

Plant care

  • Nature walks

  • Weight/balance

Earth Science

Water properties

  • Weather/seasons

  • Oceans

  • Rocks

Scientific Reasoning and Technology

2. Mathematics

Preschoolers learn to add and subtract by combining and taking away objects. They learn place value by seeing bead bundles that represent ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. Conceptual understanding of math is the natural outcome of activities that allow children to manipulate objects and see relationships. Math studies include:

Concrete materials to explore place value:

  • Units

  • Tens

  • Hundreds

  • Thousands

Concrete materials to perform operations:

  • Addition

  • Subtraction

  • Written numerals 1-100

  • Skip counting

  • Even and odd numbers

  • Measurement

  • Simple money

  • Time

 

  • Music-Songs and Dances

​

Our children will also grow socially as they interact with other children and a teacher through singing, dancing, performing, and playing musical games. They are collectively exposed to different sounds, rhythms, and stories that further enhance their musical awareness. 

​

 Frequently asked questions about the curriculum 

How are classes run?

​

Online Zoom Circle Time is designed to imitate the way children learn in the classroom. Every day in the classroom, teachers teach classes in circle time and then send children to a learning center to practice the skills they have learned.

Online kindergarten is designed for this. After learning from the teacher's teaching during the circle time hours, practice the learning activities at home as if the center hours were accessible.

​

Where can I get study supplies?


We designed the program to use as many household items as possible. If you have special needs, you can easily get them from stationery.

​

What curriculum is used in online kindergarten?


Apples uses its own curriculum created by director Sophia. The curriculum uses the US Common Core Standards, the American Physical and Mental Child Development Standard, and is based on more than 20 years of early childhood education experience.

​

Can I join the online class in the middle?


Yes, it is possible. You will receive Day 1 the day after you register! You can start whenever you want to join a class.
