So far this is really good. I am a first time home schooler so this is my first curriculum and it really makes homeschooling fun for both of us. I plan to use this with all my kids. I love how it focuses on God and teaching them His word. So far my son has been keeping up with the memory verses it has him learn. I do recommend this.

If you are looking for a complete preschool curriculum for your child, look no further. This curriculum is exceptional! By the end of the curriculum your child will know all the alphabet and the sound each letter makes, will make blended sounds, be able to count to 12 but most can count to 20 or more, sound out three letter words, tell time to the hour, will have memorized several scripture verses, and have a love for learning! In addition, this curriculum takes you through each day of creation and includes a lot of hands on activities for little ones to stay engaged. I can't say enough about how great this curriculum is!

This is an amazing program. I LOVE everything about it. My only issue with this is that, in my opinion, it's not meant for pre-k (4 years and older). I was debating on putting my son in private school or home schooling him myself. I decided to home school. I read and searched for as much info as possible before buying anything. Since my son was going into pre-K (he is 4.5) if I placed him in public or private school, I decided that's what I would be looking for. I'm new to home schooling and am coming to realize this is not always the case. The Bible, Social Studies and crafts in this curriculum are, for the most part, the only things that are new to him. This is full of so many amazing fun activities. Now that I have looked through it, it is clearly meant for an average 3.5 and younger group. If you can get a hold of the Scope and Sequence to see what is covered, in comparison to what your little one knows, I would highly recommend it! I wish with all my heart I would have made the decision to home school earlier. This is so much fun and it lays an amazing christian foundation down. I have a younger son who's 16 months. With out a doubt I will be using this once he turns 2.5.
Also another mistake I made was I purchase this without the media kit/set. Even if your little one does know most of the curriculum material, don't pass on the DVDs and CDs in this set. They are so great. My son and I love the Character Builders Series especially. This series has great story lines that cover: obedience, self control, honesty, responsibility, sharing, kindness, confidence, love, goodness, faith, thankfulness, gentleness, politeness, joy, patience, and peace. I hope this helps anyone thinking of purchasing this program.

wow! this is really meant for a teacher teacher, but I use it for homeschooling my 3 year old. He LOVES it! He learns the bible verses quickly and is already advanced with some of the material. (knows all of his abc's, etc) This kit has a huge amount of extra's. I almost get overwhelmed! But, I've been trying to take it slow and not worry about using every little extra. I put them in plastic sleeves and give my son a dry erase marker to reuse the worksheets and to protect the visuals for the "classroom."

When you receive this and start reading the teacher manual, it can be overwhelming! BUT..........don't!! :) Just read through the book BEFORE you plan to start, get a few of the listed supplies, you can make this program your own:) This set gives you all the tools you need, just buy what craft supplies you can comfortably afford! This set is also made for schools, very complete. My son was 2.5 when I bought it last year, he does very well with it. Get the DVD set to go with it, it truly compliments this set! Just have fun and let your child be a kid, enjoy your time with your child(ren)! :)

I love the way everything is laid out and easy to follow. The makers of this curriculum really know the best ways to introduce learning and new things to the mind of a child. I just absolutly love this :)
