Preschool is a simple, easy-to-implement curriculum for children 2-4 years, which steers away from focusing on typical academics and elevates the cultivation of virtue, good habits, and knowledge of God above all else. The FREE Preschool Teacher's Guide includes a complete explanation of philosophy and strategy, 26-letter themed units with amazing children's books (new and classic), memory recitations for math, science, character, catechism, scripture, manner and hygiene, and more. Download the FREE Teacher's Guide HERE to explore. You'll also find a book list linked in that listing. In addition to the Teacher's Guide, we offer a Handicraft & Activity Guide that adds depth, schedules, and expansions to the simplified Teacher's Guide.

Gentle + Classical Primer is a beautiful and gentle introduction into the formal school years that places goodness, truth, and beauty above rigor and "grade level" while still preparing your child for their future education.
