For some reason, finding a homeschool curriculum for preschoolers and babies seems to make some people stressed. I guess I become a borderline “un-schooler” when it comes to the young learners in my life. My personal theory is that if you can teach your preschooler to love learning and surround him or her with educational experiences, intelligence will follow.
Homeschool Curriculum for Preschool
God’s Little Explorers Preschool Curriculum
In previous years, Ruble (age 4) has used worksheets from my other homeschooling friends in the blogosphere and I had considered going back over those same pages, but when my friend, Stacie at Motherhood on a Dime, mentioned her new preschool curriculum, God’s Little Explorers Preschool Curriculum, I knew this was what I wanted.
A formal review will follow soon but for now, I want to give you a quick peek in to God’s Little Explorers Preschool Curriculum:
- 28 weeks worth of lessons
- Bible story for each lesson
-
Crafts, science projects, cooking projects, etc.
-
ABCs and 123s, colors, and shapes
-
Life skills including chores and service projects
- Recommended reading to match the theme
-
Other related busy activities for independent learning
Reading for Preschoolers
I will also be introducing Ruble to All About Reading Pre-Reading. This interactive study will give him a foundation for fluency.
Hands-On Learning Activities
In our closet of educational toys, I have an abundance of games and activities to keep Ruble active. Among those items include:
- Melissa & Doug 100-Piece Wood Blocks Set
- Gears! Gears! Gears!® Beginner’s Building Set
- 50 Counting Bears with 5 Cups
- Educational Insights Design and Drill Activity Center

- Melissa & Doug Abby & Emma Deluxe Magnetic Dress-Up Set
- Melissa & Doug Geometric Stacker

I know this is an older post but I thought you might be able to help me. I have a nonverbal autistic son and I am struggling to figure out how to homeschool him. We are going to try the PPCD program for a few hours a day to see if it is a good fit as he is only 3. What sorts of activities would you recommend in this age group? I notice you had 2 years and 4 years so did you just use the things for 2 years for consecutive years? I have some outtings planned for us as well as beefing up our pretend play since that is an area we struggle with. Academically he knows all of his ABC’s upper and lower case and numbers to 20, he does do puzzles and is interested in tracing etc. Did you ever do any other services with your child at this age or did you just strictly homeschool? I am a little overwhelmed with ideas and fine tuning what our days might look like. Your site is just amazing and has given me great ideas. Thank you!
