WHICH RESOURCE SHOULD I USE?

We recommend starting with The Peaceful Preschool for your 2-5 year old child, followed by Nourishing Nature Kindergarten.Once your child can hold a pencil and trace with ease, you can choose one of our elementary guides.

We recommend doing Playful Pioneers, followed by the Kind Kingdom, followed by The Precious People. If you are in a co-op that is using a different history cycle, feel free to start anywhere.

WHAT GRADES ARE THE PLAYFUL PIONEERS, THE KIND KINGDOM, AND THE PRECIOUS PEOPLE GEARED TOWARDS?

The Playful Pioneers,Precious People and Kind Kingdom Volume 1andKind Kingdom Volume 2 are written for elementary students, approximately grades 1-6. Because math and phonics instruction are not included, you can tailor those subjects to your various students and use our elementary resources for several grades at once, creating family connections around learning. With an older elementary student, you might add an extra grammar or writing resource and let your child choose books from the independent reading list. Middle-grade students can be involved in the projects, cooking, art, and literature portions but will be given their own science and language arts program to work through. They can read from the monthly extended book list and write narrations, draw maps, and create timeline cards with younger siblings, or you can add an extra history resource.

IS THE PEACEFUL PRESS CURRICULUM RELIGIOUS?

Our main early years curriculum, Nourishing Nature Kindergarten and The Peaceful Preschool include optional Bible Verse cards (a free download) but do not contain religious instruction. The elementary resources, Playful Pioneers Volume 1 and 2, Kind Kingdom Volume 1 and 2 and Precious People do include direct Bible lessons. We typically use the King James Bible for copy work because it is not copyrighted and we want children to be exposed to ancient forms of speech for a wide understanding and vocabulary. We are Apostle’s Creed confessing believers who hope to support a life-giving homeschool experience regardless of religious affiliation or non-affiliation.
