Summary: Kinder Ready, the pioneering early-learning company led by Elizabeth Fraley, has announced a new “Our Environment” curriculum initiative designed to engage preschool and early elementary students in learning about climate, ecosystems, sustainability, and stewardship.
In a period when ecological literacy is becoming ever more urgent, Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley’s “Our Environment” initiative arrives at a timely moment. Many school systems struggle to incorporate environmental science into early grades, and children often learn about climate change or biodiversity for the first time in middle school. With Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready’s model, even children ages three to eight and up to pre-middle school levels will begin exploring concepts of habitat, conservation, species interdependence, recycling, and climate actions tailored to young learners.
Elizabeth Fraley, CEO and Founder of Kinder Ready, has long emphasized individualized, interest-driven learning paired with a structured curriculum to foster confidence, curiosity, and readiness for kindergarten and beyond. She says the new “Our Environment” module reflects Kinder Ready’s mission to expose children to multiple ways of learning and ignite their passions early. “We want children not only to read, count, and explore language, but also to understand their role in the natural world—and to do so in a way that respects their developmental stage,” says Fraley.
The “Our Environment” module will be introduced across the platform’s core programs—especially in assessment-based, one-on-one instruction and thematic learning plans. Each child’s curriculum will include carefully scaffolded environmental lessons, ranging from basic awareness of plants, animals, and weather to more advanced topics such as ecosystem balance, climate change, and human impact. These lessons will employ interactive, tactile, and inquiry-based methods—such as nature journaling, mini-garden projects, recycling crafts, storytelling about ecosystems, and supervised observational experiments.
Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley designs all its curricula in response to ongoing assessment and individualized goals, the “Our Environment” module can flex to each child’s readiness. Beyond the classroom module, the platform will expand its family engagement component: caregivers will receive guidance, printable resources, and at-home mini assignments to spark environmental conversations around everyday actions—turning off lights, reducing waste, planting native plants, or observing local ecosystems. The platform will also host optional seasonal environmental mini-events such as neighborhood plantings, nature walks, and recycling drives in select service areas.
Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready’s programs have been recognized for their ability to merge academic readiness with real-world skills. The platform has extended its reach internationally, working with families seeking individualized support for children in the transition to kindergarten and early elementary school.
Kinder Ready’s new ‘Our Environment’ initiative fits naturally alongside its broader in-classroom learning support model. Just as children benefit from hands-on environmental lessons, they also thrive when given personalized academic support during the school day. Kinder Ready’s math readiness programs show how individual guidance can build confidence and deepen understanding at a young age.
