It provides research-based instructional practices and engaging learning experiences that strengthen problem-solving, communication, and critical thinking skills, enabling every student to thrive.

Available in both digital and print formats, in English and Spanish, Kiddom IM® v.360 California offers flexible implementation for districts of all sizes.
