HOW CAN I BEST INTEGRATE THIS PROGRAM FOR MY CO-OP?
Kitoodle Creators is well-suited for co-op enrichment programs. The projects require problem-solving and prompt creative brainstorming and are fun to work on in groups. There are many opportunities for collaborative effort and group discussions.
The teacher of the group would purchase a Teacher Semester Set, which includes the curriculum for each project PLUS materials for each of the projects for demonstration. The students would purchase a Student Set. If you are in a co-op, reach out to us for a co-op discount for your group!
I HAVE ONLY ONE CHILD THAT I AM HOMESCHOOLING. WHAT SHOULD I PURCHASE?
If you are just getting started, we recommend enrolling your child in the online classes first so you and your student get acquainted with the Kitoodle program. If you want to start of teaching yourself, you will need to purchase the Teacher Semester Set. This set includes all the curriculum you will need to teach your child the lessons and supplies for one child to complete each activity.
WHAT IS THE AGE GROUP FOR THIS PROGRAM?
The ideal age group is elementary school. However, we test our curriculum and products on children as young as age 3 and as old as 14. This program works well for mixed age groups since it is project-oriented.
I HAVE A FAMILY WITH MULTIPLE AGES. HOW CAN I BEST IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM FOR MY CHILDREN?
To get started, you will need to purchase one Teacher Set, which comes with the complete curriculum and all necessary supplies for the first child. You will also need one Student Set for each additional child. We offer a sibling discount for orders of two or more Student Sets!
It is not recommended for children to share a kit because the kits are designed for each child to create one, unique finished project (i.e., there is only one bear skin per kit, so only one child will be able to keep the bear).
These projects are ideal for group settings. Some activities may require a higher level of dexterity. For these steps, you can either have your older children work together so you can dedicate more time to your younger child, or you can have the oldest sibling do some steps first and then assist the younger child. The curriculum is designed to be flexible!
I AM A FIRST TIME HOMESCHOOLER. WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE?
Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Education!
We know there are a lot of resources out there and it can become overwhelming to decide on a curriculum. Kitoodle Creators Homeschool Semester Sets are designed to complement your core curriculum, whether you choose and open-and-go boxed set, or a more eclectic "a little of this, a little of that" approach.
Each Semester Set is an enrichment tool that provides robust learning in many areas, including biology, chemistry, art, history, engineering, technology, and more!
If you have already selected a core curriculum and are looking to supplement your STEAM component with fun, hands-on learning, Kitoodle Creators has you covered. And if you settle on a more eclectic approach, choosing different curriculums for each subject, our Semester Sets can be part of your Science education, especially for early elementary! (See your state requirements for more details).
We recommend starting off with our online classes so you can get acquainted with the Kitoodle program, especially if you are not comfortable teaching science.
No matter what approach you choose, Kitoodle Creators is flexible enough to complement all learning styles. And the students love it too! That's the beauty of homeschooling!
