Pre-Preschool Curriculum (Ages 3-4)

Not an “official grade”, I know, but 3 and 4 year olds are so curious about the world around them, and so eager to start doing what they see their older siblings are doing, so I let my 3 and 4 year olds feel just as much a part of school as the other children. And am just as intentional about finding curriculum suited to their age group. But, I’m also very intentional about not pushing them. I let them set their own pace and decide what they want to work on in school at a given time.

At this age, I’m more focused on giving them opportunities to explore their world, with the hopes of instilling in them a love for learning. So, no pressure, no stress, just lots of opportunities.

Read and Share Bible Videos

Read and Share Bible Videos. The Read and Share Bible Videos are the very best Bible videos I have found for kids! As far as children’s Bible videos go, these stay very close to the actual story, and they are very calm and peaceful (no added hype that we see in a lot of other animated Bible movies). With all of my children, the Read and Share Bible Videos were their very first screen time exposure. And I was amazed to see my 1 and 2 year olds actually tracking with the story and understanding the Bible stories. I think these animated Bible stories were a very formative part of my children’s development and faith.

The Bible App for Kids

The Bible App for Kids. A fun, simple little app that allows young kids to interact with simple Bible stories.

The Bible App for Kids Storybook Bible

The Bible App for Kids Storybook Bible. Our family was so excited when we discovered that our favorite Bible app had been turned into a published book. We’ve tried a lot of different children’s Bibles over the years, but this one was definitely our favorite!

Preschool School Zone Workbook

Preschool School Zone Workbook. This is my favorite workbook for preschool-age children. I usually start my kids out with this book when they are 3 years old, but I let them work through it entirely at their own pace (not even necessarily in order, I just let them look through the book and pick out whichever page they feel like working at the time). I also don’t pressure them to finish the book in a single year, most of my kids take 2 years to go through this book, and I’m totally fine with that!

Reading Eggs & Mathseeds Online Program

Reading Eggs & Mathseeds Online Program. I absolutely love this online learning program! As a homeschool mom with four kids, being able to log my kids on to this independent learning program has felt (to me) a lot like adding a second teacher to our classroom; an assistant teacher, of sorts.  When I need to work one-one-one with my older students, I can get the younger ones set up with this online learning program, and I know that they will be occupied and learning at the same time – and my time is freed up to give the attention I need to the older students.

For Pre-Preschool, we also just do a lot of “early learning” type activities. Nothing too structured – mostly just creating teachable moments in their everyday play time.
