Small children have the beautiful gift of being completely present in each moment they are in.
We were struggling in our homeschool journey. I contemplated The Playful Pioneers multiple times, but was afraid it was too craft and cooking heavy for me to handle. However, my middle son did not like school. He said he wished he could do the preschool curriculum (also peaceful press) with his brother because it looked more fun. That’s when I realized I should give The Playful Pioneers a try, and I am so thankful I did! It’s brought so much joy and connection to our homeschool. My son is now thriving and enjoys learning. It’s adaptable to different age levels and all 3 kids are loving this year. This is also the first year my husband is jealous that he has to work and can’t join us. This has been just what we needed!
This has been such a joy to do as a family! I have 3 kiddos. My two oldest have enjoyed all aspects of this curriculum. Realizing that my girls thrive as they get to do art, be outside, read and learn all at the same time. I can’t recommend this enough! It’s been so nice to have something gentle to lean into as we embark on our homeschool journey this fall, officially.
We enjoyed PP Vol. 1 so much that I had to purchase PP Vol. 2. The layout of the teacher guide is easy to follow, and I appreciate the monthly lists for needed resources. It has been handy to be able to look ahead each month and get supplies or books ordered (or to reserve books from the library).
My children have enjoyed the hands-on projects and read-alouds. The copy work pages are nicely done. One of my favorite components is the artwork files. It has been a game changer for me to provide art study because the selections are already chosen and ready to print at the click of a button.
Everything about this curriculum has truly lived up to its name, The Peaceful Press, because it has brought peace to our homeschooling days and this Mama's heart.
