Quality Preschool Curriculum
Are you new to
homeschooling?
Have you found that
planning and
organizing quality lessons takes longer than
actually teaching them?
When I first started homeschooling our children, my
oldest son was almost two years old. I
started out reading to him and doing
a few hands-on activities and was completely surprised at how rapidly he
progressed. After a few months of working with him, I found myself
preparing daily lessons which included English, math, history, science, art,
fine or gross motor skills, geography and literature.
I used to spend countless hours researching different
topics and projects for us to work on each week. Organizing our
schoolwork took me more time than actually teaching it to my son!
After a few months, I decided it was time to look for a prepared curriculum
we could follow that would save me some time.
Have you searched for a quality
preschool curriculum for your child only to be disappointed in what you've found?
When I started looking for a preschool curriculum, I wasn’t able to find
anything that seemed like real meat and potatoes learning to me. Most
preschool curriculums I looked at consisted mainly of crafts and games.
Don’t get me wrong, there is definitely a place for these types of
activities in the life of a preschooler. But they are capable of so
much more than what we usually give them credit. I knew there had to be other moms out there who were
finding themselves disillusioned with the preschool curriculums that are
available, just as I was. So I decided to write
Learn and Grow: Hands-On Lessons for Active
Preschoolers for them.
Learn and Grow: Hands-On
Lessons for Active Preschoolers is unique in that it is packed
with hands-on learning for your preschooler, ages 2 - 4. It is easy
to follow, even for the non-experienced teacher. I have included
materials lists for each lesson as well as detailed step-by-step
instructions for each lesson and for any preparation that is necessary.
I'm sure you will find teaching these preschool lessons to be a wonderfully
enriching experience for both you and your child.
Using this curriculum is a great way to SAVE MONEY. The average cost of preschool in America is $733 a month. Using the Learn and Grow Curriculum, you can easily save $10,000 - $20,000!!!!!
Unique features:
- 130 daily lesson plans
- 26 weeks worth of lessons if done 5 days a week - 43 weeks worth if done 3 days a week - 65 weeks worth if done 2 days a week
- Over 700 individual, fully-planned activities
- Includes English, pre-math, history, science, geography, art, fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and literature
- Detailed lesson plans for each activity, including materials lists and step-by-step instructions for preparation as well as the steps necessary for teaching each lesson
- Developed by a Sunday School preschool teacher with over 10 years of experience (that's ME)
- Most materials are easily found around the home or are simple to purchase - making teacher preparation quick and painless
- Includes a full-color appendix with original illustrations
- Lessons are great for boys AND girls!!!!!
- Learn and Grow is being used in homeschools, preschools, orphanages, daycares, by missionaries, by expatriates, and by military personnel
- It has been sold in 40 U.S. states as well as 19 different countries

Dear Michelle,
I just wanted to drop a note to say THANK YOU!!! We have been using your preschool curriculum for a month now, and my boys (4 and 21 months) are LOVING, LOVING "school"!! I was previously using Before Five In A Row, with groans and screams. My 4 year old BEGS me to do school! What a blessing!! We are also using the Teach Me About God, and my 4 year old adores that too! The lessons are simple, active, and short for his young attention span. Also, it is so user friendly for me, the mom. I couldn't be happier!! It has revolutionized our homeschooling experience!! I'm a little sad looking forward to Kindergarten because no curriculum looks as well planned, and fun as yours :)
Thank you again for such wonderful resources!

Thanks, Jennifer

Dear Michelle,
Thank you so much, Michelle! I am leaving my corporate job to be home with my two boys ages 2 1/2 and 3 months. I can't wait!!!
I saw the sample lesson plan and almost started crying. It is perfect!
Thank you so much and God bless!

I have been a Family Childcare Provider for the last 6 years and I have excelled in every aspect of my business. However, the one thing that
I have struggled with was finding a curriculum that I felt was building good learning skills for the children I taught.
I flipped flopped back and forth with purchasing or designing my own curriculum and it was never a good fit. The purchased kits taught about
things I wasn?t interested in, and it?s hard to teach something that you don?t like yourself. And honestly, I didn?t have a lot of time to build
a curriculum myself and found myself much of the time unprepared.
Until, I stumbled across Learn and Grow, BINGO I think I?ve got it! When I heard Michelle mentioned in her introduction about her search and
not finding a curriculum that gave the ?Meat and potatoes? for learning, I knew I was on to something.
Currently school is out in GA so I will not start using the curriculum until August however, I have had the pleasure of looking over the
lessons and I can hardly wait. I have been looking so long for a curriculum that taught lessons based on the alphabet and I know the kids
are really going to enjoy the activities. This is truly a God send!
Thank you Michelle for being so kind and generous in sharing the knowledge that God has given to you and helping others give the gift of learning.

Dear Michelle,
Thank you so much for your books "Learn and Grow" and "Teach me about God". It's been 2 1/2 weeks into our homeschooling adventure, and my son and I both enjoy our homeschool activities.
You serve as an inspiration for me to continue homeschooling my son. Thank you for giving me a window into the world of homeschooling and how boys are so different from girls. I would've been really discouraged otherwise. I had put him into a local playgroup of 15 kids and the teacher would label him a "problem" for not being able to sit still. Armed with your homeschooling curriculum, I can provide him with fun activities tailored for his attention span and be able to enjoy his learning process every step of the way.
May the Lord bless you and your family abundantly!

Dear Michelle,
Learn and Grow is Wonderful! I have homeschooled for 19 years. I've graduated our first 5 homeschooled children and have 3 boys ages 5, 3, and 1 to go. I never used a preschool curriculum (for long) because I couldn't find one that was flexible enough, yet academic enough, and doable without tons of preparation along with teaching other grades. Oh, I've tried them all! But the first few lessons would be as long as it would last. Learn and Grow is so different! My 3 year old LOVES it! And my 5 year old doesn't miss a lesson, even though he is doing his own first grade curriculum. He says, "Mom, I didn't get to do that when I was three!" to every activity!
The lessons are laid out so well. I love the way each activity has the "materials needed" listed, and they are seldom things I need to purchase that aren't normal items in our homeschool closet already.
Each activity is clearly labeled for its academic content. There is not much if any preparation. They are very fun and enjoyable to a three year old. They don't take much time, are to the point, but very thorough. And there is so much variety! We go to bed with the suggested reading books that I am able to place on hold on-line through our local library. All I do is place the hold and pick them up! Learn and Grow is just the most exciting part of our school day. My boys always ask for more. I have never seen a curriculum so complete, yet easy to use, and enjoyable all at the same time! Even my husband adds to what we are learning in every-day activity!
You have done a great job with Learn and Grow! I cannot say enough to give it justice. Every aspect with the way it is set up and the content is wonderful! Thank you for your time and work and for sharing it with us so we can have a successful and enjoyable homeschool preschool! My boys LOVE it!!!
I wish I had Learn and Grow for my older children when they were three or four.

Dear Michelle,
I've enjoyed the Learn and Grow Curriculum. The variety of activities is great! My sons (there are two using the curriculum, a 3 year old and 2 1/2 year old)
seem to like the alphabetical order of the lessons. I'm especially thrilled with the physical, coordination building activities and the science things: these seem
to be activities that kids do not acquire simply reading a book and skills worth developing while they are so very young. Many of the craft projects have been enjoyed
by our older boys also (5 + 6 year olds).
Thanks again for the hard work! Your curriculum has been a real time saver and I have enjoyed using it with my preschool boys.

Dear Michelle,
Learn and Grow is a fantastic program. My little boy especially likes decorating the Big
Letter Cutouts at the beginning of each week. My favorite part is that you
have incorporated easy activities into the day to "just get all the sillies
out".

If you are looking for some educational activities to do with your preschool-aged child, then "Learn and Grow: Hands-On Lessons for
Active Preschoolers" is for you. Whether you're looking to supplement your child's preschool experience, or you are considering
homeschooling your preschooler, you will benefit from these detailed lesson plans that will teach your child the entire alphabet through a
variety of fun activities.
For our first activity, my boys and I learned about the letter "A" by cutting an apple in half and using the apple to paint a picture. We then went to
our local library to look for some suggested books about apples. Ever since my boys keep asking to "paint with apples", and they can't wait to go
back to the library...

Dear Michelle,
I just wanted to let you know that I started teaching my daughter. We both
love your activities. I am a Secondary School Teacher and very thankful
for your incredible amount of great ideas for younger children.
I do have trouble finding the suggested library books as I live in
Austria, but I am substituting them with German and French books I have
access to.
Thank you again for providing such an inspiring curriculum.

Dear Michelle,
I just had to tell you how impressed I was with the book you wrote!
What talent the Lord has given you! I hope it is extremely successful and
I feel it will be!
I had a whole area of the school where I taught and was Principal
called the STAR room (see, touch and respond). We did all kinds of
learning with hands on (even a garden and cooking our vegetables.)
Keep up the good work!!!

Dear Michelle,
I just want to thank you for the wonderful collection of ideas in your Preschool Curriculum. Sarah (2) and I have arrived at the letter D and so far, she has liked almost every activity. It is such a good feeling to know that I have lots and lots of activities ready when I come home from work.
Whenever I say the words: Sarah, ich habe ein Spiel für Dich vorbereitet (I have prepared a game for you), she runs to her little table and waits for me to do the activities with her. We even took a trip to a farm like you suggested (for letter C) and had a GREAT time there. It all ties in so nicely!
Thank you again for all your trouble to send the files to me.
