Children learn best with play and imagination. They also learn through many different methods, and at different paces. Activities they experience with their hands, and feel in their hearts can endure in their heads their entire lives!

These lesson ideas help children

• develop a love of learning from play and everyday life activities
• discover a love of reading and learning from all kinds of books
• begin to recognize letters of the English alphabet
• gain and/or strengthen the knowledge that someone loves them and will lead them through their interests to help them learn and grow!

These lesson ideas help parents save time in searching for activities, books, songs and hands-on activities.
The program is based on a 2-4 day school week, with play-based school lasting up to 2 hours each day. If you follow this schedule, this program will last one school year. Of course, you can change this up in the best way for your family or group. If you finish early, just repeat days that your kids enjoyed.

Choose what you prefer to do from the lesson's suggested items, including:

• Suggested books and songs
• Alphabet introduction and flip-book
• Games / Playing
• Hands-on crafts and activities that work for children of all ages

Enjoy spending time with your wonderful children without the stress of creating your own curriculum or lesson plans.
