circumstances and diversity of learners, schools and
communities through the appropriate languages of

Kindergarten Curriculum

The domain-based skills intended to be developed in


kindergarten are aligned to the learning area, content-based
curriculum to be learned in Grade 1. Domains are strategically
integrated in the content of the blocks of time as contained in
the KCG/Teaching Guide. Activities tackle different but
interrelated domains for the smooth and successful transition of
every five-year-old Filipino child from Kindergarten on to Grades 1
to 12 Basic Education.

during their formative years from Kindergarten to Grade 3.
He said the GMRC shall inculcate among the students the
concepts of "human dignity, respect for oneself and giving
oneself to others in the spirit of community, for the effective
and holistic development of the decision-making skills of
the child.“
He added the teaching method shall be actual or
situational instead of just conceptual, so students can
directly relate to the lessons and practice them.
