Kinderkirk is a non-profit early childhood program operated as a ministry of Carpinteria Community Church and founded in 1978. The program includes multiple classrooms, an outdoor classroom, a large vegetable and flower garden, and a Resource Center.
The program emphasizes child-initiated, teacher-supported play to support physical, social, emotional, cognitive and creative development. Activities are provided both indoors and outdoors and include open-ended materials, guided teacher interactions, rug-time routines, and field trips such as local walks and library visits.
Much of the daily schedule takes place outdoors in dedicated front and back yards with varied ground cover, sand and dirt areas, climbing equipment, swings and bikes. The site describes gardening activities, butterfly observation, animal care, day hikes around town, and supervised beach exploration with water-safety-certified staff.
Described for two- and three-year-old children, the program provides routines that include rug time for songs and stories, choice time with manipulatives and creative art, outdoor play in the outdoor classroom, and afternoon rest and play for full-day children.
Described for four- and five-year-old children, the program emphasizes more complex manipulative work, group listening and speaking skills, small-group concept work, creative projects, quiet reading areas and planned field trips such as visits to the local library.
