Playing Preschool Year 1 is designed for children ages 2.5 – 5 years old. The program is incredibly open-ended and full of opportunities to adjust the level of activities to meet the needs of the specific child. My children were 2.5 and 4 year old when I wrote this program and they both learned so much.
I was very deliberate in designing a program that can be used with multiple ages of children. You’ll even find my “extension” notes throughout the program with my ideas for how to extend an activity to meet different developmental needs.
The beauty of an open-ended program is its ability to meet the child where the child is at.
It’s a homeschool preschool curriculum built on simple, engaging, and active play-based learning. Each unit in Year 1 is two weeks long so it’s a 330+ page program with 190 days of activities. And that’s what this is: educational activities, full of learning but without the pressure, length, or expense of traditional school.
Plus, there’s a clear sequence and progression of skills in this program so as children grow and develop, so do the activities. You’ll notice quickly that the activities in Unit 19 are a lot more challenging than in Unit 1.
Here’s a look at the skills your child will work with each week:
- Sorting
- Predicting
- Alphabet Knowledge
- Recall and Retell
- Shapes
- Measurement
- Number Sense
But that’s not all! This program is full of science activities, fine motor skill, gross motor activities, art and sensory based activities.
This program is so much more than just straight academic learning. It’s about building background knowledge of key skills and information that will help your child in their “school years.” The 19 topics introduce your child to so many important and new concepts, ones they may not have considered yet.

I hear you and that’s great!
The goal with Playing Preschool is to move kids away from memorized learning. We want them to understand letters as a building block and tool for reading, to see letters in the world around them, and to form a base for when they are ready to read. We want our kids to really know their letters. Not just have some symbols memorized.
Here, we are going deeper and moving away from surface level learning. Many of the alphabet activities in Playing Preschool are ones I used as a first grade teacher – because even seven year olds who are fluent readers still need these kinds of alphabet lessons.
What we are working on in Playing Preschool is moving beyond basic low level skills like listing, repeating, and stating facts. It’s fairly easy to memorize the order of numbers or letters in the alphabet (it’s actually similar to identifying animals – you are learning the name of an object and the sound it makes: “That’s a cow. It says ‘moo.’” “That’s an Aa. It says /aaa/.”)… which is why, we want to go so much deeper with these skills.
What about numbers? Same thing. Kids need to learn more than the order of some words (that’s all counting is). In Playing Preschool, we work on understanding value, comparing numbers, and using numbers to measure and discuss data. We order, label, discuss, and dissect numbers. This is so much more than counting.
Remember: repetition and practice are a good thing. It’s important. Consider LeBron James: he still goes to practice every day and takes simple shots. Why? Because he knows that repetition and practice are important.
A week is 5 days of learning activities. Here’s what each day looks like:
- Start the day: calendar, song/poem, and an introduction to the topic
- A read aloud hand picked to fit the theme
- “Things to Talk About”: a conversation to have with your child about the book/theme
- A learning activity – an activity usually done by parent AND child to develop a targeted skill and fits with the unit theme
- An easy activity – a quick & easy themed activity that the child can typically do independently
First of all, I created an amazing 20+ page document to show you the ins and outs of this program. In the Start-Up Guide, I’ll share with you my tips and tricks for teaching Playing Preschool, because I know what it’s like trying to learn a new curriculum. I want to give you all my teaching knowledge to help you (and your child) be successful.
Each week has a unit overview so you’ll get a snapshot of how the week will look.
Each day has a detailed lesson plan so you’ll have clear directions for how to teach your child.

Does workplace financial wellness just mean an employer paying off debts?
While offering to help pay off an employee’s debt may be one of the benefits offered by an employer, workplace financial wellness also includes coaching and financial training for employees.
How is workplace financial wellness linked to healthcare spending?
Employees that are financially stressed are more likely to fall ill and require medical attention. If an employer provides health insurance, this cost will be paid by the company. An organization may find it to be cost-effective to increase workplace financial wellness in order to reduce healthcare spending.
What are some challenges when implementing a workplace financial wellness program?
One of the most commonly reported challenges for increasing workplace financial wellness is in how to reach the appropriate employees. Given how delicate the issue of personal finances can be, it is no wonder that forty percent of employers surveyed find this to be an anticipated or actual challenge in implementation.
Can workplace financial wellness include an employee tuition assistance program?
Student loan repayment benefits, an employer educational assistance program, or an employee tuition assistance program may be a part of a workplace financial wellness program, and are powerful tools for helping employees achieve financial wellness.
Why would anyone want their employer to know about their debts?
When people are in debt, the experience can be overwhelming. Debt consolidation or counseling services sometimes require people to take out new loans, and it can be hard to sort through it all. An employer actually has an interest in helping their employees become financially well.

V.A. Sukhomlinsky
Preschool age is decisive in the formation of the foundation of physical and mental health. Until the age of 7, a person goes through a huge path of development, which is unique throughout his subsequent life. It is during this period that the intensive development of organs and the formation of the functional systems of the body take place, the main personality traits are laid, the character, attitude towards oneself and others is formed.
It is very important at this stage to form a base of knowledge and practical skills of a healthy lifestyle in children, a conscious need for systematic physical education and sports. The prevalence in the structure of the revealed pathology of diseases of the nervous system, organs of vision and pathology of the musculoskeletal system (especially in the age group of 6-7 years) in most cases indicates the inevitable involvement of preschool children in the age of information technology (long-term viewing of television programs and access to computer games ). And the upcoming years of schooling, inevitably entailing increased demands on the still unformed central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, as well as increased loads on the visual analyzer, emphasize the relevance of all recreational activities carried out during this period.

9 00, 00 00 05 005 A range of measures aimed at maintaining the health of the child at all stages of his education and development is being mastered in our kindergarten. There are various forms and types of activities aimed at preserving and strengthening the health of our pupils. Their complex has now received the general name “health-saving technologies”.
