Curriculum Plenum. Yes! That's Us!
Curriculum Plenum is our proprietary curriculum that came out of our highly praised early childhood education program over many years.
Literally it means "Curriculum of Fullness" or "Course of Fullness". Plenum is a Latin word translating to total, full, whole, all or assembly.
With Curriculum Plenum (CP), Kiddie College pursues the completeness of education consisting of all the parts essential for growth, development and maturing in the early childhood.
Some schools adopt very particular models or principles often emphasizing independent learning, natural learning or creativity. These are few of the essentials a child needs to move on to the higher stage. However, it is not a good idea to build a regular, daily, year-round program centered on one or two of these principles.
CP incorporates all these principles and methodologies along with all the traditional approaches into a full package of pedagogues applicable to a child in a highly individualized and customized fashion.

Curriculum Plenum is like mama's home made meals
No parent would feed their children everyday with gourmet dishes delivered by fine restaurants. It will cause malnutrition and ruin the eating habit of a child. Raising and teaching small children takes basic, routine and regular home made meals prepared by loving parents with the fresh ingredients always with balanced nutrients. Good parenting works better with "good" P&J sandwiches than a aged wagyu steak.
Focusing narrowly in a few specialized methodologies will create the same problem as the gourmet dishes would. We believe that the curriculum for our students should be just like the home made meals: wholesome, basic, with fresh ingredients and always adjusting to the daily developmental need of an individual child. We see the dramatic change and outcome on children when we apply CP as they blossom intellectually, physically and socially. The best benefit would be that they love to learn. With CP, our goal is to help children maturing as they learn to focus, stay curious and inquisitive and enjoy the process of achievement. It will carry over to next stage of their education and last for their lifetime.

Balanced in nutrients and adaptable to individual taste
Just like a meal with balanced nutrients, the process of lesson design based on CP is aiming for the balanced education.
As the lesson plan is drawn up, teachers who observed the fine details of each child's development are able to make proper adjustment and fine tuning to the plan and its application pacing the steps of each individual child. Just like a mother puts a slightly different portions and selections on the plate of each child at a table, our teachers are trained and experienced in portioning according to the need of each student. CP provides the best tools for them.

Full Day of Learning
|
Most the specialized approaches only provide a couple of hours of learning activities and keep the children in childcare mode for the rest of the day. At KCF, with the full application of CP, we provide full day of learning moments. Individually, in small groups, in large groups, outside. We see a huge jump in the achievement in learning as our students are immersing into all day learning.
If you ever listen to the children who spend better part of day at home, they will scream "boring." (No tablets please). Imagine a child in the learning environment where they are immersed in learning all day, five days a week and 52 weeks a year. They move to the higher stage. Totally. |
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE SPEND IN COPYING?
As you might have noticed, our teachers really put the commercial grade copy machines to work. Printing lesson sheets, drawing templates, big color letters and shapes, we run the shop with these copy machines. |
