What does a Charlotte Mason Kindergarten Curriculum day look like?
A typical “school day” for us was only about 45 minutes long, including Morning Time, and generally looked like this:
- Morning Time ideas, including hymns, folksongs, Bible readings, poetry, and more
- math time (I’ve laid out the entire MEP Reception Math year for you!)
- one to two readings chosen from history, geography, literature, science, or nature study
- one handicraft per week
- optional time for copywork every day
The beauty of this curriculum is that you can truly make it yours. If you find a book that you’ve either read before and don’t want to read again or just don’t like, feel free to substitute it (and I do offer suggestions for substitutions in a few subjects in the book as well)! If there’s a part of the curriculum that you don’t want in there, leave it out! Use this as a framework from which to build your own, unique kindergarten that fits your family’s (and your state’s, depending on your local homeschool laws for kindergarten) needs.
Finally, if you have any questions at all about the curriculum, feel free to contact me and I’m happy to help however I can!
A little background on the curriculum…
I have always been of the mindset that it was better to wait on “school things” for my son, following a better-late-than-early approach. I hadn’t pushed him to start reading at an early age or tried to force any kind of structured preschool program on him and was quite happy with those decisions. When he turned six in August of 2016, I wanted to do something more “official” with him that fall, but I didn’t think he was quite ready for any of the Charlotte Mason curricula I could find. So, I started to look around for some kind of alternative.
If anyone else reading this has tried searching for a good Charlotte Mason Kindergarten curriculum, you’ll know that it can be pretty frustrating. I’d find a post that someone had put up with a beautiful book list, but no idea how to implement it on a weekly basis. I found posts with very intense curricula that looked like they’d take longer than even a typical Year 1 week would. And I found others that claimed to be Charlotte Mason but had pretty questionable book selections.
For this reason, I decided to make my own Charlotte Mason Kindergarten Curriculum! And because it was so difficult for me to find one that I liked, I’ve decided to share mine with others who might be in the same spot!

We are so excited for the well planned out kindergarten year Rebecca has created! Perfect start for easing into a routine and a little structure with appropriate reading. We plan on using Ambleside Online for Year 1. This is a great precursor. Thank you for your hard work!

This curriculum is exactly what I needed/wanted. It allows me a lot of flexibility with what works best for my situation.

The most perfect K curriculum I've ever found. I'm about to start K with my third child, and this booklist has everything I wanted to incorporate to create a magical year! I recommend it to everyone I know.
Gretchen B. –
So far I am really loving this curriculum. It is easy to follow but also goes into detail on things that might be confusing. Both my kids love the books included in this curriculum and I love how the weekly lessons are broken down into days. If you are wanting to do a literature based education this is a great option.

I’m very pleased with my order! I wanted to incorporate a Charolette Mason style approach into my son’s kindergarten experience. I found this curriculum and it has been a life saver on time. It has been easy to order the books and supplies needed for each week due to the simple check list provided in the curriculum. Thank you A Humble Place for all the work you put into this!

Love this curriculum!

This curriculum is just so beautiful! We won’t be using it until next fall when my daughter will be going into 1st grade. We moved to Israel in 11/20 and she’s been a bit behind here trying to learn Hebrew. She goes to school, but we will be pulling from this curriculum to help her learn to read English, to keep up with our read alouds, and to incorporate the handicrafts and art (we will be doing a lot of this with my 2nd grader also). I’m so glad I bought this and it’s so full of rich information for such a great price! Cannot wait to start buying the books and getting things ready for the fall!

We haven't started the curriculum yet. My daughter just turned 4. I've looked it over and it's very thorough, thoughtful, and gentle.

This is a beautiful, well organized curriculum and I cannot wait to use it! I wish you had a similar product for the elementary levels. Also, I am missing the resources webpage code. That was not included in the printed copy of my curriculum.
Bec L. –
I was hesitant to purchase at first, because although I loved the look of the content, I am from Australia and thought it might be too difficult to implement into our curriculum here. But I found myself in the same boat as a few here, my son wasn't quite ready for AO 1 after purchasing the book list and I didn't want him to become frustrated and dislike home school. I went ahead with this purchase and I am very glad I did! It's simple and straightforward to follow, unlike some other curriculum's I looked at in the past. I didn't need more thinking, this was perfect and I have used most of the books suggested too for extra learning this year! It's actually been very helpful to the start of the year with a new baby and health problems, I've just added a few extra things to cover Aussie curriculum. And Bec has been helpful and responsive to emails. Thank you!

This curriculum has been such a blessing. We decided to homeschool this year due to the pandemic, and I am loving the time that I get to spend with my kindergartener. He’s learning so much, and I’m so appreciative of the thoughtfulness put into this curriculum. It encompasses everything that we need - art, poetry, nature study, science, reading, literature, and much more. I was lost in the multitude of options out there for homeschooling, and this has been a breath of fresh air.
Nadia –
This product is excellent and just what I needed as a gentle start to formal education for both of us. Thank you.
Angelina S. –
I'm a first-time homeschooling mom and I'm so glad I got this curriculum for my kindergartener! Everything is so thoughtfully laid out and she goes above and beyond with tips, recommendations, and alternatives to the wonderful books suggested for this curriculum. For me it was a great, budget friendly choice for kindergarten curriculum. I work remotely part-time and also have a toddler and this "open and go" is going to be perfect. The only prep I've had to do is put bookmarks in books...and she also sends you bookmarks as a thank you!!
Christina K. –
I absolutely love this kindergarten curriculum and we can't wait to start! Everything is broken down into weeks and then even further to days. There is a supplies list, book list, morning time explanation and more! Every time I had a question while reading it, it was soon answered in the content! We may be changing some of the reading but overall, I love everything about this curriculum.

This was just the motivation I needed to get started with plannning. We have not begun using this just yet, but I have looked everything over and gathered materials. I was able to get most of the books from the library and others free on Kindle. We will be customizing it a bit but it makes it very easy to do so. Thank you for putting this resource together!

I bought this in preparation for my youngest son who will be starting Kindergarten in Fall 2020. With 3 other homeschoolers at home, I am all about having such a detailed plan already done for at least one of them!! And the supply lists are great! I don't have to look through all the lessons and figure out what I'm going to need and hope I don't miss anything. I honestly cannot wait to start this with my son in September.

As a new to the CM teaching methods, this curriculum was so informative and perfect for my 4 year old son as I prepare him for K. All the perfect links for the right information! Will be purchasing 2020-2021

We are in Week 4 of Rebecca's kindergarten curriculum and it has been such a gift! My creative, DIY self was terrified of a restrictive curriculum but I work part-time and do not have capacity to start from scratch doing all my own research. This curriculum was exactly what I needed! Thoughtful suggestions, well curated book lists, materials I already keep on hand, handicrafts that dont involve gobs of toxic glue and plastic shiny things that end up in landfills hours after they are made... I feel adequately resourced, but with plenty of wiggle room to add things that are meaningful to my specific family and scratch the things that don't make sense for us. I have not yet used Rebecca's art resources, but intend to and I'm so grateful for the wealth of knowledge and time she has generously shared here.

Thank you for such a well thought out plan. As a first time homeschooling parent, I was overwhelmed by the volume of choices for a Kindergarten curriculum. At first, I thought some of the readings were going to be too "old" and uninteresting to my son, but he has taken to them quite well. I think this curriculum will work quite nicely and leave him excited to start a Charlotte Mason First Year!

Looking at the Ambleside book list gave me anxiety. I had no idea how to make sense of it or make "it" happen. I am SO thankful for this taste of the structure of Ambleside for my very bright kinder. It is thoughtful, informative, and well laid out- whether you're type B like me or type A.
Huibrie P. –
Excited to get to start this curriculum in a couple of weeks. I'm still gathering some of the books, but I'm pleased so far with each one I've looked through. The curriculum is so nicely worked out which is a great way for us to start out our homeschooling journey. Thankful to have found this as my oldest son is a new 6yo and I want to do actual school with him this year, but felt like AO y1 would have been just a bit too much yet.
Christabelle Villanueva –
Great help! I like the summary over all. :)

The cover on this is gorgeous and the book was well bound with a plastic spiral. I work in a creative services group and can vouch for this reprographic work. Well done, A Humble Place!

We are beginning our journey in Charlotte Mason and homeschooling and I absolutely love how Reb has pulled together such a beautiful curriculum. Even if we only get through half of it, it is so rich and full. Such a feast. Thanks, Reb for all of your hard work with this and for passing it on. Well done.
Jem Schouten –
Great product, very comprehensive overview and reasoning for choices made and allowed for flexibility within the curriculum. Any questions were answered really quickly and resolved via email promptly and politely. Rebecca has been most helpful during the purchasing process and I'm very happy with the layout and book choices.

I was looking for something transitional prior to Ambleside online year 1.
I like this document. It’s reasonably priced and it helped layout a weekly routine to help a new homeschool mom get a feel for rhythm.
It’s not a ton of books and all were easy to find used online. It offers a simple and gentle routine that is not overwhelming, especially as a mom of multiple young children. I also appreciate giving some form to ideas like “morning time.”
The pdf download was delivered in a timely manner and it prints well in black and white.
Very satisfied.
Heather Elder –
Amazing and well thought out curriculum. It's sweet and beautiful and fun! Hands-down, I recommend this product. It's very easy to customize it to your child's strengths, hobbies and interest! I'm so grateful for this package!
