The Gentle + Classical Preschool is a gentle and wholesome introduction to early learning that is fully adaptable to your homeschooling preferences for your youngest learners. Preschool serves as a launching pad for a gentle introduction into the Charlotte Mason and Classical education philosophies. It is filled with excellent, SHORT, memory work statements (recitations), and step-by-step guidance in curating the best educational experiences as you treasure this time with your 2 to 4-year-old preschooler.

Who's it for?

This program was created to be a great fit for preschoolers aged 2 to 4 years. Preschool is an "introduction" to "school time" and is as full or as simple as YOU decide for it to be.

How do I use it?

This program is not a scripted, hyper-detailed preschool program but rather an introduction to a homeschooling philosophy along with tools for making it happen. Flexibility is the name of the game here. You will find a weekly unit overview that you can choose books and activities to align with, following the suggested teacher's notes.

If you prefer detailed weekly schedules, specific activity/handicraft suggestions, and more detailed guidance, please view the Preschool Bundle.

First Edition vs Second Edtion

Excited to try the materials

I never thought I’d be able to teach... not my gift. However with the new way of the world I was in need of inspiration for new structure and routine. My two year old also started showing leaps of interest in learning letters. God perfectly placed this resource for me. Now reviewing the materials... which is filled with tools and tips beyond expectation or imagination.... I feel confident in taking on this new task and adventure.

Very helpful to facilitate lessons for my 3 1/2 year old

The Gentle + Classical Preschool Level 1 Teacher's Guide (Ages 2-4)

In love!

Absolutely love this curriculum! I can’t wait to start it with my 3yr old! It’s exactly the approach I want to take with preschool. It doesn’t seem overwhelming or intimidating. It seems doable and gentle!

Co-Op + Classroom Licensing

Are you planning to utilize any Gentle + Classical materials with a group of other famlies (co-op) or in your classroom or school?

We are so excited to hear that and feel honored to be considered!

We do want to share the information about our co-op/classroom licensing with you. This also applies to daycares OR ANY OTHER SETTING in which non-family members are gathered to utilize G+C materials in any capacity.

What qualifies as a "daycare, classroom, or co-op"?

We define a co-op, classroom, or daycare setting as: 10 or more children (or 3 or more families) coming together in a group with the intent of using Gentle + Classical materials for their lesson or gathering time.

Digital Licensing

For 10 or more children, co-op licensing costs $7 per student/per curriculum (Preschool, Primer, and/or Nature). The licensing includes access to our full digital curriculum so that the lead teacher can print and use the curriculum and supplementary materials in the classroom setting only. It doesn't include licensing to print materials for students to use at home with their families. Families who wish to use the curriculum in their own homes should purchase the curriculum for home use.

If you have fewer than 10 children using the materials together, you can simply use the curriculum you have already purchased within the classroom setting. It still violates copyright to make copies for other families to use at home or to share portions of the curriculum (including scheduled readings, etc.) with families other than your own. This is considered redistribution of materials.

We also offer licensing for our unit studies, such as On Mission, Morning Virtues, Christmas, Autumn, and Easter. The co-op licensing for each unit study is $3 per child/per digital issue for 10 more children.

Interested in printed materials for your group or classroom?

We are happy to provide you with a customized quote! We provide discounts of 10% or more for these types of orders.

How to Proceed:

To use co-op licensing, we will verify your information so we can correctly invoice you and provide the desired curriculum. Then, we'll create an invoice for you for the number of students using the curriculum. Once you've paid the invoice, we will send you access to the full digital curriculum so that your lead teacher can print and use the materials during your co-op meeting times.

For a print quote, we follow the same protocol.
