What Makes It Different

What Makes It Different

  • Developmentally gentle and whole-child focused

    Early years resources prioritize strong motor, auditory, and visual skills, the building blocks for long-term academic success, while elementary resources nurture wisdom and virtue through beautiful stories and conversations.

  • Literature-rich learning

    Each week is thoughtfully curated around great books that spark curiosity and cultivate a lifelong love of reading and learning.

  • Hands-on, screen-free activities

    Practical skills, nature study, and crafts strengthen fine and gross motor skills while engaging the senses and imagination, and science experiments and mapwork nurtures awareness of the world around us. No screens required.

  • Simple, open-and-go structure

    Parent guides are laid out clearly and concisely, making it easy for brand-new homeschool families and seasoned parents to begin with confidence.

  • Designed for connection

    The guides invite you to slow down, learn alongside your child, and enjoy the homeschool years.

  • 5 stars: 2 (67%)

Not Ideal for Kindergarten

I was looking for a Unit Study centered around Thanksgiving. I've used Peaceful Press in the past and have always enjoyed their resources. However, I found the reading and activity choices clearly geared more towards an older child. I do believe this study was an excerpt from their Pioneers Volume 2 - so it makes sense that it would be geared towards an older audience. We were not able to use most of the curriculum for my kindergartner, and I ended up needing to go with another Thanksgiving style unit study. With that said, had my children been older, we definitely would've enjoyed what was provided. I will be hanging onto this and perhaps revisit it down the road.

Love it!

My second purchase from you. What I love is managing 1 month at a time. So much less stressful! Life happens when you are homeschooling. Planning a whole year can be overwhelming. I love that you are breaking this up in month long bite size pieces. Taking life a month at a time works so much better for us!
