Years of teaching experience and the level of education of the participants were not distinguishing factors in the degree of implications of naturalism as an educational philosophy throughout Jordanian kindergarten curriculum. Based on these findings, the researchers provide some relevant recommendations. It is important for childhood education teachers to examine their beliefs and value system since they influence their teaching styles and their classroom interactions. Furthermore, they need to identify their teaching orientation to become aware of its influence on their teaching and their students ’learning. We must recognize the fact that childhood education’s teachers have their own philosophical beliefs and value system which can influence their learning. It is also recommended that further research be conducted in the area of teachers’ educational philosophies and their impact on the teaching-learning process. This way, we can inform teachers of their own prejudices or lack of while teaching our generations. This also can guide them to choose the appropriate curriculum, aims and classroom activities.
