Blossom and Root Kindergarten (Level 0)

Blossom & Root Level 0 works through a consistent weekly rhythm that blends structured guidance with open-ended exploration. Each week, the parent or caregiver uses the parent guide to walk through themed lessons across core areas: nature study, art, music, science, early math, language arts, and personal history (“The Story of Me”). The caregiver reads aloud from suggested books, guides gentle narration and journaling, and facilitates simple hands-on projects using common household or outdoor materials. Language arts includes exposure to letter sounds, story retelling, and copywork, while math lessons center on play-based concepts like counting, patterns, and spatial reasoning. Science topics are introduced through imaginative themes like space or anatomy, with short, flexible experiments and notebooking prompts. Picture and composer studies are once per week and often paired with simple discussion or art activities. The curriculum is entirely PDF-based, so each week you print a few pages for your child’s notebook, glance at the weekly supply list, and choose which suggested activities best match your child’s interests and energy—making it easy to adapt to any homeschool routine.

Blossom & Root Level 0 is an ideal fit for children ages 5–7 who thrive in a gentle, creative, and nature-rich learning environment. It’s perfect for families who want to ease into homeschooling with a secular, play-based approach that emphasizes connection, curiosity, and whole-child development over academic rigor. It works especially well for kids who enjoy stories, art, outdoor exploration, and hands-on activities, and for parents who prefer a low-prep, flexible routine. It’s also a strong match for neurodivergent children, highly sensitive learners, and those who benefit from movement, creativity, and rhythm in their day.

Blossom & Root Level 0 may not be a good fit for families seeking a highly academic or traditional kindergarten curriculum focused on early reading, worksheets, and formal assessments. It’s not ideal for parents who want a rigid daily schedule or a completely independent learning program, as it relies heavily on caregiver involvement, read-alouds, and guided discussions. Families looking for a faith-based approach or expecting rapid progression in phonics and math may also find the gentle, child-led pace too slow. Additionally, if your child prefers digital learning or needs a highly structured environment with explicit instruction, this program may not align with their needs.

Your child should recognize most of their letters and be familiar with most of the sounds they make by the time you begin. You will gently review these concepts in the curriculum, but it helps if your child already has that foundation before beginning. If your child is still learning the letters and letter sounds, we recommend beginning with Early Years Vol. 2 first.

It does help if your child can match quantities to numerals and numerals to quantities up to 10, and if they're able to orally count up to 10 before beginning. They should also be familiar with some basic shapes (triangle, rectangle, circle, etc.)

Most of our lessons can be divided up into about one to two hours of focused time together, five days a week. Our lessons are short, most of them around ten to thirty minutes long. We want your child to have LOTS of time for free play and outside time and we believe they can have a rich learning experience without spending their entire day buried in worksheets.

You may want to add a complete, sequential math program the kindergarten curriculum. We recommend Wild Math as a great complement to Blossom and Root.
