Description
This curriculum was originally used for my parent-child class of 18-month to 4-year-old children. It has grown much since then but it is still appropriate for so many situations. If you are homeschooling a preschooler, running a day-care, running a parent-child group or just a weekend Sunday school class – these lesson plans are for all the “little ones” in your life.
Why do we call this a “Curriculum Experience” ? Because when you purchase Earthschooling curriculum you not only receive a full curriculum (without the need to purchase any additional materials) but you also receive:
