Best Preschool Homeschool Curriculum (Play to Learn) • Kids Activities Blog

Wondering if you should be doing preschool at home or sending your child to a traditional preschool?

Many parents are choosing the option of homeschooling preschool full-time or as enrichment and learning activities at home.

Surprisingly, many of the skills preschoolers learn are through play.  Creating a play-based preschool curriculum for your child can be fun and educational.

Improving preschool skills at home is great even if kids go to a traditional preschool!

How to Homeschool Preschool

So much of the “foundation” of your child’s interests and temperament is being nurtured and awakened. They are also developing skills that they can use in school for years to come.

This is going to be lots of fun because preschool really emphasizes the importance of play with all educational activities.

How do I begin to homeschool my child?

If you have been considering homeschool for your preschool age child, the easiest way to get started is to begin integrating simple play lessons into your daily home schedule. It is as simple as adding a 20 minute time for learning into your daily schedule or when you are actively doing something together, consider the learning opportunities and lesson extensions.

 How Do I Homeschool My Preschool Child?

One of the largest misconceptions (and one of the things that often scare parents away from trying homeschooling) is the myth that homeschool will look just like regular preschool…only with less kids! The truth for most families is that preschool homeschool is simply a more intentional way to add playful learning into your daily life. Teaching isn’t a lecture or a concrete lesson plan that has to be taught a certain way, it is a conversation, a curious spirit to learn more together or a collective learning experience.

How many hours a day should I homeschool my 4 year old?

A traditional preschool may spend 3-5 hours in the classroom each day, but at home the one-on-one learning happens much faster. My recommendation is to choose a consistent time block each day for targeting preschool lessons that fits into your family and schedule and then adapt it to your child. For us, I would start with a rough outline of about an hour a day to do a learning activity or a series of activities around a theme. With one of my boys that might turn into something that we talk and laugh about most of the day while another one would breeze through everything in 15 minutes and want to do something else. Both boys went on to be great students and earn scholarships to college! I think the main thing is to foster a love of learning when kids are 3 or 4 instead of forcing information.

Which curriculum is best for preschool?

The best curriculum for preschool is a play-based curriculum that emphasizes a preschooler’s innate curiosity. Thankfully there are many to choose from or you could intentionally explore your child’s interests while exploiting learning opportunities. Keep the Kindergarten readiness checklist handy so that you know what skills need to be covered during their preschool year(s).

Preschool Homeschool Curriculum

Developing a preschool curriculum for home don’t have to be scary.  Even though that sentence sounded scary. Think of your lessons as guided play with a goal of developing certain skills. What do you want your child to know when they start kindergarten? Those are the things you should start with.

If the whole process seems a little overwhelming, don’t worry! Because we have homeschooled preschool with our own kids and have experience as a former classroom teacher, we developed a preschool at home program that has everything you need, all in one place. Yes, we are that awesome.

What should preschoolers be learning?

Preschool Skills Checklist

What exactly does a preschooler learn in a traditional preschool program? What are the skills that a child entering Kindergarten needs to know to be at grade level? When we were setting up our Preschool at Home program, we did a lot of research alongside the teacher who created it.

In that research for the best curriculum for preschool, we established a Preschool Skills Checklist that might be helpful to you to identify what might be the most important thing your child should learn…today!

Use this Preschool Skills Checklist to make sure your child is Kindergarten-ready!

Some of our favorite preschool activities make great additions to your young learner preschool curriculum for home.

What is the best way for preschoolers to learn?

Each kid will have a unique learning style. While one child may have intense concentration for their age, another might have little interest in anything that doesn’t include running and jumping. Observe your child and when they are the happiest and most engaged and try to choose a preschool curriculum and schedule that fits joyfully into their lives.

Daily Schedule for Home Preschool

The first thing you should think about is how much time can you reasonably devote to the different activities you might want to include in a homeschool preschool day. For me, the thought of a homeschool schedule was scary and seemed counter-intuitive to the freedom that homeschooling would bring to my preschool children on a daily basis. BUT when I got into it, the daily routine a good thing. It put boundaries around the homeschool schedule and held me accountable to the things I wanted to accomplish.

Here are are a few great resources for developing your home mom schedule:

  • Check out this recommended home education schedule
  • Daily schedule for preschoolers at home
  • School things to do at home

Learning the ABC’s is a major milestone in the preschool curriculum!

ABCs in the Preschool Curriculum

One of the first steps to learning to read is recognizing the letters of the alphabet. Children should be able to identify letters, sounds, and to be able to match the capital and lower case letters to each other.

  • Start with toddler alphabet activities to help identify letters and sounds.
  • Exercise through the alphabet with these activity ideas.
  • Make an alphabet museum. Search through your house and fill the boxes with a different item each day.
  • Play a lid matching game. You can even fill the jars with alphabet letters.
  • Print a set of alphabet workbooks. These are perfect for kids who sit still.

At Home Preschool Curriculum – Letter of the Week Ideas

We love Letter of the Week activities! Every week pick a different letter to craft with and explore with your little learner. You can have your child hunt for the letter in sensory bins, or objects that have that letter’s sound, etc.

You can also do a weekly craft. These are cute and fun!

A is for Apple.  B is for Bear.  C is for Caterpillar.  D is for Duck.  E is for Elephant.  F is for Fox.  G is for Giraffe.  H is for Hippo.  I is for Iguana. J is for Jaguar.  K is for Kite. L is for Lamp.  M is for Monster.  N is for Nest.  O is for Octopus. P is for Parrot. Q is for Queen.  R is for Road.  S is for Snake.  T is for Tiger.  U is for Umbrella.  V is for Volcano.  W is for  Watermelon.  X is for Xylophone.  Y is for Yak.  Z is for Zebra.

Learning to write your name is fun & necessary preschool skill!

Writing Skills for Homeschool Preschool Curriculum

Most of what the writing curriculum emphasizes in preschool is the ability to hold a pencil, draw on paper with a pencil, marker or crayon and (possibly) write his/her own name. Instead of pushing letter practice, emphasize pre-writing skills that develop the fine motor skills that will allow your child to develop good handwriting in the future. At age 3 and 4, kids don’t have the fully developed musculature in their hands to sustain prolonged letter formation.

Homeschool Preschool Writing Skills at Home

At bare minimum, during preschool, your child should be able to recognize the lower case letters – but even better, your child should learn how to form the letters – at least the ones in their name.

Here are some ideas for preschool at home that is more play than lesson…

  • This is the perfect time to check out how to hold a pencil to start little kids off on the right path with fine motor skills.
  • Practice writing in a salt tray. Your kids can write or “paint” their letters. Lightly shake the tray to erase and try again. Add a light under your table for more fun.
  • Create a gel bag. Place worksheets underneath the bag and your kids can practice tracing. As they write they will see the letters.
  • Trace letters that were written with a highlighter. They can trace it once with a pencil and the second time with a marker.
  • Review sight words as your kids learn to write.  Every time they trace the word they can use a different color of crayon = rainbow letters.
  • Check out our list of best preschool workbooks — or order a few straight from our homeschool preschool store!

Teach My Preschooler Kit

Teach My Preschooler is designed to give preschoolers a head start, develop fine motor skills, encourage parent/child interaction and increase school readiness skills with preschool lesson plans.

It comes with 293 pieces and is a complete all-in-one learning system. Plus, there’s a step by step teaching guide for mom and dad!

Preschool Work Books

The good news is there are a bunch of readily available preschool workbooks that make it easy for teaching children in an organized way. We have picked our some of our favorite books that teach without screen time.

Preschool fine motor skills practice is an easy thing to do at home with these fun activities!

Age-Appropriate Fine Motor Skill Development for Preschoolers

Many of the skills kids will need in Kindergarten require fine motor control. If your child struggles to hold a pencil, practice with some of these activities to help your child develop their grasp and hand-eye coordination. These are simple play ideas that can easily be included in any preschool at home schedule…

  • Fine motor skills will help your kids develop the finger “grasp” coordination that they will need as they begin writing.
  • Develop hand and eye coordination with your kids as they cut shapes along lines.  This activity will keep my three-year-olds engaged for a good hour!
  • It’s hard for some kids to grasp the concept that there is a wrong way to hold a pencil or crayon. But learning the “right way” early will save them handwriting woes later.

Math is play! Preschool math activities at home are fun & games…

Math Skills for Preschool Curriculum Homeschool

The math learning in a preschool curriculum is about setting up a solid foundation for numbers and math principles. Kids should learn basic sequencing and patterns and how to match two things that are alike. They should be able to sort items and count to 10. Preschoolers will learn to order numbers 1-10 and realize what pile has less or more. They explore how numbers related to items and can add and subtract items in play.

Preschool Math Skills Through Play at Home

During preschool kids should learn to recognize a written number and understand number correspondence, ex: that 3 = the amount of three items.  They should learn how to tell which piles are bigger/smaller, be able to put the piles in order from smallest amount to the biggest, and learn to count.

  • Practice counting to 20 and recognize groups of items up to 10 (i.e. a pile of 5 items). Your child should also practice telling the difference between amounts (ex: more v. less).
  • Expose your kids to color theory and time at the same time with a colorful DIY clock. Explain how clocks move in the same direction every minute/hour.
  • Make large geometric shapes as you count and trace from number to number with chalk. Discover math patterns.
  • Whenever you come up to a red light, count backward from ten to zero. This will help your child with subtraction later.
  • Create a paper tube counting game with this genius DIY preschool math idea.
  • Break out the bag of jelly beans. Your kids will look forward to counting time with a tasty treat in jelly bean math.
  • Practice number correspondence and counting with monster math. Add the eye balls on the creature with googly eyes.
  • Demonstrate counting with your fingers with a fun Math hand. Try to think of all the combinations to get to ten.
  • Make a math station with lots of little items for your kids to count.

Have you noticed that the general theme of an effective preschool at home program is hands-on play? It really is!

Intentionally leading your child through simple activities to make sure they have mastered each skill is both easier than it sounds…and fun.

Don’t overthink a preschool math curriculum! It really is fun and games.

Shapes are magical in a homeschool preschool curriculum

Play to Learn Preschool at Home Curriculum Ideas – Learning Shapes, Colors, & Vocabulary

The homeschool preschool curriculum for learning shapes, colors and preschool appropriate curriculum is just this…

Play, play and play some more!  This will help kids learn in a creative way and become a well-rounded student. A sense of curiosity in learning is the most effective preschool student strategy…even if you are preschooling at home.

A well-rounded student of play!

And while you are playing, talk to your child about what they see. Your kids are learning their shapes, the colors, their body parts, the animals in the world (and the sounds they make) all through play.

  • Get a set of stones out. Paint them, adding shapes. In play, sort the colored rocks by size, their shapes, etc.
  • Play street, print up road shape cards. Your child can drive cars along the shapes.
  • Build with shapes. You can use a pack of straws and pipe cleaners if you don’t have anything else.
  • Explore shapes with a flip book – make a visual kaleidoscope.
  • Use dried out playdough or salt dough to create shapes and craft with them to make a mosaic.
  • Print colorful patterns onto transparency pages and layer them with your child to explore shapes and colors.

What are the play activities for preschoolers?

Nearly every single play activity in a preschool age child can be part of a learning experience! Many preschool activities are themed to prompt additional learning but preschool concepts can be taught a million different ways. For instance, if you are working on what the number 5 looks like and means, you might look for 5 things in a book, make piles of 5 items in the playroom or bake cookies in groups of 5. The play ideas are endless!

How do you teach preschoolers to play?

Preschoolers are born with play abilities! Adults need to be conscious of placing too much structure and pressure for play to look a certain way. Preschoolers learn by exploring and playing in their own way and that doesn’t always look like play to those around them. Think about these preschool activities as play prompts. They are a way to start the play with your preschooler without a certain destination in mind!

What is an example of learning through play?

Play is a hands-on learning experience. Think of how we all just KNOW about the concept of gravity because we have dropped a toy, thrown a ball or jumped up in the air. Preschoolers may not know that it is called gravity or what that means to the universe, but they have experienced gravity, predict gravity and played with gravity.

You see this when kids start counting too. They might start counting their cars, stuffed animals or number of items in the shopping cart.

Reading is a big part of a preschool curriculum at home!

I absolutely love that quote! It is sooooo true:

Children are made readers on the laps of their parents. -Emilie Buchwald

Here are some strategies for incorporating the love of reading into your preschool at home curriculum…

  • Read Aloud to your kids daily. Work up to 20 minutes a day.
  • Teach your kiddo to hold books the “right way” and point to the words so they learn to follow or track words from left to right.
  • Time and order concepts by reviewing the story: What happened first, next, last?
  • Have your child comprehend a story be able to re-tell it to another person.
  • Beginning sounds. Find the letter that makes the sound at the beginning of a word.
  • Encourage your kids to speak in full sentences, clearly, differentiating between fiction and reality as you are reading.

What Kids Need to Know Before Entering Kindergarten

There is a list of preschool skills that kids need to have mastered to make the most of those early days of Kindergarten. The cool thing is most everything on this list is easily (and organically) added into a homeschool preschool curriculum. It is what we based our own Preschool at Home Curriculum that is packaged into weekly themes that covers all these things:

  • Your child should practice describing and expressing their feelings – ex:  “I am sad” or “I am sorry”.
  • While active play is needed, preschoolers should also have a daily quiet time of independent play for up to 20 minutes at a time.
  • Encourage your kids to be able to tell directions. Ex: left v. right.
  • Encourage independence. Your kids should be learning to put their own clothes on, including jackets and shoes.
  • Even at home, your kids need to practice cleaning up their space when they are finished with an activity.
  • Practice waiting and taking turns, and following basic rules (board games are a great way to practice if not in a group).
  • Follow multi-step instructions (ex: Wash your hands, get your lunch box and sit down to eat). Take turns playing “Simon says” with each other.
  • Help your child recognize basic cause and effect relationships (drop this it breaks).
  • For safety: Your kids need to know their phone number and be able to say their street address.

Our kids love using ABCMouse.com, too because the learning just looks like FUN! They have a full online preschool and you can try the first month totally free.

When homeschooling preschool, it’s important to not overwhelm your young learner with too much information all at once. For a PreK student, it’s ideal to homeschool for an hour and a half to no more than two hours. Whether you find it best to homeschool in the morning or afternoon, or perhaps even breaking up your homeschool day into 15-20 minute increments, the choice is yours. Find what works best for your child and make any necessary changes along the way.

What Subjects Are Taught in Preschool?

Below is a list of subjects that are typically taught when homeschooling PreK. To find out if you are required to teach any specific subjects, it’s important that you check your state’s homeschooling requirements.

  • Math
  • Language arts (phonics, reading, writing)
  • Science
  • Social studies
  • Art (drawing, coloring, arts & crafts)
  • Physical education (PE)

In addition to this list, homeschoolers can also add any other subjects they feel their children will benefit from such as health, music, and foreign languages, just to name a few.

Preschool Learning Objectives

At this age you’ll want to set not just academic but cognitive and developmental goals as well. Ensuring your child learns all the necessary concepts and gains all the necessary skills will set them up for success in kindergarten and in life!

Your PreK homeschooling goals can look something like this:

  • Visually identify all the letters of the alphabet, their order and their sounds
  • Distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of differences in people
  • Identify different colors and basic shapes
  • Using listening skills to match words that rhyme
  • Shows creativity and imagination
  • Count in order and recognize numbers
  • Know the order of the days of the week and different times of day (morning, afternoon, etc.)

Reading Book List for Preschool

Reading to your preschooler should be a daily routine. Although most students this age are not yet reading, they are gaining valuable skills in literacy and communication as you read to them. These skills will help them begin to recognize sounds, learn new words, and grasp basic concepts of reading comprehension.

Below are a few books that are ideal for homeschooling preschool.

  • The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt
  • Richard Scarry’s What do People do All Day? by Richard Scarry
  • Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault
  • Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney
  • We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen

The Time4Learning preschool curriculum includes tons of stories with colorful graphics that are read aloud to students to help them gain valuable literacy skills.

Preschool Homeschooling Tips & Ideas

Homeschooling preschool is an exciting time to not only bond with your child, but also watch them grow as they learn new skills. Below are some tips that will help you make the most of this time and ensure that your child stays motivated and has a fun year.

Read together every day. Reading with your child benefits them in so many ways. Not only is it a great opportunity to spend time together, but it also helps them learn important literacy skills in communication, comprehension, vocabulary, and so much more. Aim for 15-20 minutes every day.

Don’t forget the importance of play. Schedule breaks for play time. Whether you head out to the park, backyard, or even at home with their toys, playing gives children the opportunity to be creative, use their imagination, improve fine and gross motor skills, gain problem solving skills, and more.

Let your child help around the house. At this young age, children are very eager to act like grown ups and help around the house. Showing them how to do things like folding a small blanket, tidying up their room, and even taking care of pets will make them feel valued and appreciated, not to mention help them gain significant life skills.

Use technology to help them learn. Technology is all around us, and even from an early age kids seem to have a knack for using computers, tablets, and phones. Being computer literate will help children tremendously now and in the future. Give your child a head start by using an online program like Time4Learning. Doing so will help them become familiar with a keyboard, mouse, and other components as well as different programs and software.

Go on field trips. Enhance what your child is learning online and bring lessons to life by going on field trips on a regular basis. No matter where you live, there are educational opportunities just about anywhere. You can learn about nature by going for a walk at your local park, explore science and art at museums, come eye-to-eye with animals at the zoo, and so much more.

Use toys to teach. Chances are, you have toys all over your house. Use them as manipulatives for math or to build reading skills. Dolls and stuffed animals can be used to teach social skills, puzzles are great for building fine motor skills, and board games can help with good sportsmanship and taking turns.

How Time4Learning Can Help You Homeschool Your Preschooler

Join us – open the wonderful world of learning for children!

Early learning for toddlers

The main activity for children is play. In the game they learn the world, develop, acquire the necessary skills and abilities. Education of children of 3 years old takes place mainly in the form of a game, since the child can only learn what he is interested in . But even in this case, it is difficult for the child to concentrate on tasks for more than 10-15 minutes. The success of learning largely depends on the relationship of the child to the teacher. Only in conditions of emotional comfort of the baby, with trust and sympathy for the teacher, it is possible to achieve positive results in learning.


Math for toddlers: how to introduce your child to the basics of mathematics

Teaching a baby with mathematics begins from early childhood – first of all, the baby comprehends the simplest concepts – “big – small”, “one – many”, gets acquainted with geometric shapes.

Learning poetry with a child: methodology, rules, techniques

Teaching a child to read poetry is not a difficult technique, but it must be mastered and used correctly. In this article, we will consider the rules and sequence of learning poetry with children 3-4 years old. We will also bring to the attention of parents methods of memorizing the text that can be used in speech development classes with a preschool child.

How to teach your child perseverance

Perseverance is very important in a child’s life, because for the education of the baby it is necessary that he can sit quietly for a while. And it is much easier for parents if the child can do something for a long time.

Early learning: pros and cons

When should children be taught before it is too late? The opinions of both parents and specialists differ. Some believe that it is not worth depriving a child of childhood and rushing into learning. Others are sure that the sooner the training begins, the easier it will be for the child to master new knowledge.

Entertaining astronomy for kids

Having barely learned to move their legs more or less, many children are no longer interested in what is under their feet, but in what is above their heads: the sky, the stars, the Moon … Of course, at school they will have both the “world around” and “astronomy”. But kids should be introduced to the main phenomena from the life of the galaxy long before school.
