Charlotte Mason-Inspired Kindergarten Curriculum

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!
