Nursery, Lower and Upper Kindergarten

At Kangaroo Kids we firmly believe that readiness for school includes children developing the knowledge, skills, values, behaviors, and attitudes that they will to successfully progress from one preschool level to another. They are provided with consistent nurturing experiences and are encouraged to explore the environment, to ignite their unique potential. Our power sheets are designed as an inquiry-based learning system to build future skills and to nourish the habits of mind in growing learners.
9 Future skills that we develop in the kindergarten students:
Focusing on future skills in kindergarten is essential because the early years are a critical window for brain development, habits, and foundational learning.
The brain develops rapidly in the first five years. Introducing future skills during this time lays strong neural foundations for lifelong learning, problem-solving, and adaptability. Skills like curiosity, collaboration, and self-regulation foster a positive attitude toward learning, which helps children succeed not only in school, but in life.
Jobs and technologies are evolving rapidly – so they need flexible, transferable skills like creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability.
Empathy, communication, and cultural awareness help young learners become compassionate, respectful members of diverse societies.
Future skills give children the tools to try new things, learn from mistakes, and believe in their ability to make decisions and contribute meaningfully.


15 Habits of mind for the kindergarten students:
The outcome of implementing habits of mind in our early years’ classrooms creates a thoughtful, cooperative, compassionate generation of individuals who work to resolve the social, environmental, and economic challenges of the world. Each month, the focus is on developing a new habit of mind for all levels through storybooks, activities, making choices, and practice. The monthly power sheets highlight the habits of mind along with its descriptor, that is being focused upon.
Kindergarten’s Storyboard:
Integrating multiple subjects through interdisciplinary, theme-based activities provides a holistic approach to learning that supports the development of meaningful connections across various domains. Rather than teaching subjects in isolation, this method encourages students to see relationships between concepts, leading to deeper understanding and practical application.
When students engage in activities that combine subjects such as language, math, science, and art around a common theme (e.g., “Seasons” or “Animal Kingdom”), they better understand how knowledge works in real-life contexts. This approach fosters curiosity and meaningful retention of concepts.
Theme-based activities naturally incorporate physical, cognitive, social, and emotional skills. For example, a theme on “Animals” can include storytelling (language), counting animals (math), exploring habitats (science), and drawing (art), allowing students to grow in multiple areas simultaneously.
