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. If you will be using this curriculum for multiple families, as a co-op or at a school please use the SCHOOL PURCHASE PAGE to make your purchase.
All of your curriculum materials including mp3s and video tutorials are available through a teacher portal immediately after you make your purchase. You can read more about how this works here.
