About the Curriculum
We are so pleased to announce our new curriculum for 2019, Little House’s Around the World Kindergarten!
Your students are about to have a very exciting and memorable educational year. How does a year long virtual field trip to 18 different countries sound? Yes, we think it sounds pretty fun too!
This is a full year printable PDF Kindergarten curriculum.
All core subjects are based on educational standards set in the United States. We always like to go one (or two or three) extra steps with our precious children’s education so we made sure that every subject in this curriculum goes above and beyond USA standards.
Subjects covered in Around the World Kindergarten are:
- English Language Arts
- Mathematics
- Social Studies
- Science
- Music
- Art
- Health
- Nature Study
All of these subjects are compiled into an easy to understand 5 day a week schedule. Your student will be adequately challenged by the material that has been scheduled for each school day, but we keep in mind the developmental point that our Kindergarten kids are out so that they aren’t overwhelmed with too many projects a day. The curriculum is adjustable based on each individual child’s needs. The entire core curriculum can be done offline once downloaded. Extra supplemental resources can be accessed online – but are completely optional.
Pay What You Can
We believe that every child around the world deserves the best educational start possible no matter what their family’s financial resources are at any given time. For this reason we price all of our curriculum and resources on a “pay what you can” model. This is a trust based system. When you go to download the PDF curriculum packs you simply type in the price your family is able to pay at this time – even if that is $0. Due to the generosity of Little House Kindergarten families that use this curriculum we have been able to provide the entire curriculum free of charge since 2015. Thank you for working together with us throughout the years to make this curriculum project possible!

English Language Arts
English Language Arts is separated into three different daily project sections; poetry, literature, and worksheets.
Poetry for the kindergarten year focuses on memorable fun poems. These poems read aloud are a great start to you child’s day. Our favorite selections from the children’s classics Mother Goose and Children’s Garden of Verses are scheduled daily.
Literature is selected with care for Around the World Kindergarten. We believe that children should be given the best possible resources to fill their young minds with. When selecting literature to be read to children we make sure that it is well written, enjoyable, and contains a positive message. Literature selections are diverse and involve classic short stories, fairy tales, Beatrix Potter selections, and well loved children’s story books like The Velveteen Rabbit.
Worksheets are used to teach grammar, reading, and spelling concepts. Your student will enjoy our colorful fun worksheets and educators will appreciate the wide range of topics covered in our workbooks.

Social Studies
One of our biggest surprises since Little House Kindergarten was released five years ago is how many countries in the world our students come from. Families and educational centers in over 100 countries have used Little House Kindergarten Curriculum!
Our global student base inspired us to create a year long social studies curriculum where Little House students can go on a fun virtual field trip to 18 countries are the world.
In each country students will learn about:
- country facts
- unique food
- how the people in each country like to have fun
- celebrations and holidays
Each social studies lesson day includes a colorful slideshow style lesson and a fun activity to complete. Optional supplemental activities include; educational videos in each country designed for kids, cooking dishes from each country, and creating unique crafts from around the world.

Science
Around the World Kindergarten science is directly aligned to social studies. While students are learning about the people that live in each country they are visiting on their virtual field trip, they will also be introduced to the amazing animals that live in each country!
Each scheduled science day includes a full cover slideshow style lesson/animal storybook. Once the student learns about the animal, their habitat, diet, and other unique facts they will complete an animal profile. At the end of the school year your student will be able to look back at a full “Around the World Animal Book” that they made themselves!
42 animals are featured in your students kindergarten year, and each child is bound to find a favorite animal that fascinates them.
