Origins Curriculum

Origins Curriculum is a nature-focused, play-based early childhood curriculum that weaves themed units around seasons, ecology, and social-emotional learning. Created by educators inspired by forest schools and Reggio Emilia, it emphasizes outdoor exploration, open-ended materials, and child-led projects. Parents like that lessons feel like invitations rather than rigid scripts, and that activities center kindness and environmental stewardship. It’s best for preschool and early elementary ages and works for both home and small co-ops. Subscription and print costs are higher than a basic workbook set, but for families committed to nature-based learning, the depth and beauty of the materials often justify the price.
