This curriculum is great! The printed material is of super quality and my girls love their memory work board. We start each morning with the morning binder and they love doing their memory work! The art and music extension is amazing too.
I spent hours looking for a curriculum that felt right for preschool, I intend to homeschool at least through all elementary school and my oldest is 3, he is born 6 days after the preschool cutoff in our area so he wouldn’t be able to start until next year but I felt like he was ready to start! I do think some of the readings go above his head at just three but I try and simplify it for him and I will re-use this curriculum with my daughter who’s only one year younger than him so he will hear this again next year! My son loves the daily preschool binder he always asks to do it a second time and I’ve seen such improvement in a very short time with tracing letters and even circling things! We follow good routine and get out and play before starting school, then we go through the curriculum and I don’t stress about if he can sit through two longer readings, we just do one and I’ll bring out the other reading later when he can focus again. I’m loving it, he is getting a longer attention span and he’s still super young and we can do this all again next year. I’m very happy with this curriculum choice. I will say I haven’t dove into the art studies yet I do think that’s maybe for next year when he’s older.
Our daughter turns four in November, and this curriculum was the perfect resource to do preschool at home until she's ready to enroll in Pre-K 4 next fall! The mail kit came with everything—I didn't have to print a single paper—and the checklist and step-by-step instructions made setup easy and exciting! We're on Week 4 currently, and my daughter LOVES singing the songs and memorizing the Scriptures each week. She'll ask me in the mornings if we're going to do "worksheets" today, because the letter and color sheets are so much fun! She loves the crafts, and the menu-like philosophy is great for weeks we don't have the bandwidth to get to everything but still want to be intentional with our time. So thankful for this team and this amazing collection of content!
This curriculum is just absolutely beautiful and so fun to do with your little ones. I've loved sitting with mine to read all the books, and I've been surprised with how many of the memory statements my two and four year old have retained. A must buy!
This is by far our favourite preschool resource, simple, engaging and full of goodness.
