This booklet is intended as a resource guide for administrators, teachers, and curriculum planners. Its program is based on characteristics and goals related to 5-year-old children. General program objectives are explained, as are goals for language arts, number experiences, social studies, science, music, art, health and safety, and physical education. An informal approach through individual, group, and community activities is encouraged. Suggestions for organizing the kindergarten relate to class size, schedule, and working with parents. A plan for maintaining pupil records, materials and equipment for curriculums is recommended. Also included is a bibliography on early childhood education. (DR)
