About the Program:
The Baldwin School fosters a cooperative environment, nurturing children's natural intellectual curiosity while helping each student achieve high academic standards.
The junior kindergarten curriculum is based on the Cambridge Public Schools own Junior Kindergarten curriculum guide. This program forms a comprehensive curriculum system, one that includes experiences and activities that develop our student’s skills in language and literacy, social development, mathematics, science and inquiry, art, music and physical development. The development of oral language skills and vocabulary is an important component of any early childhood experience and the junior kindergarten curriculum places much emphasis on these communication skills. Our classroom themes are based mostly on children’s interests. We are also using the Building Blocks Math program in the Junior Kindergarten classroom.
