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.

I highly recommend this guide for anyone wanting to spend quality time as a family making fun crafts, recipes, and reading the best Christmas books! Thank you Jennifer for putting a guide together that we come back to year after year and for creating some of the best Christmas memories we have. ❤️

Love this curriculum!

We're only a few weeks into this using The Precious People unit and we're all enjoying it! It is such a gentle, hands-on approach to learning and my kiddos (aged 10 to 4) are all loving it!

Christmas Volume

We really enjoyed the Christmas Volume. Unfortunately, we did not have time to complete the entire volume. We only completed the first two weeks, but we will try to do finish it next week. It would be great if there was included scripture. Also, some activities need a template. For example, the nativity scene Christmas cards could have a template so we could print and color. I also would love to have more scriptures for the little ones to trace and memorize.

Great Assortment of Christmas Activities

I really loved the assortment of activities this provides. I have a 6 and 2 year old and feel what this guide offers will engage both. I appreciate the ability to pick and choose from the grid as needed, and also love the book selections! I did notice there were some typos where what was listed in the grid did not match the daily description provided. However, this mismatch was minimal and did not detract from the overall value provided.

Love it!!!

Playful Pioneers Vol. 1 has been such a breath of fresh air after following ambleside's year 1 schedule last year. Everything is so cohesive and related instead of scattered all over the place. My daughter is learning a lot at a super enjoyable pace for both of us. Thank you Peaceful Press for your amazing curriculum!! We'll be using all your volumes from now on. Love your Christmas school too!!

Wonderful Christmas Resource

This Christmas Guide was perfect for what I was hoping to achieve with my 3.5 year old during the holidays! There was something to read, do, craft, learn on a daily basis and my son was thriving with new crafts and ideas. Most of the book recommendations were found online and we paired it with biblical stories and was so fun! We skipped around based on what material and grace I had that day and my son was asking for Christmas school daily! Some
of the crafts and activities did require more than the standard items so I had a hard time keeping up with all the options, but there definitely were some free and low budget craft ideas as well so works well for whichever season your in! overly, I highly recommend!

Lovely but a bit above the age range

It was very expensive to purchase/locate all of the books and supplies. And many of the activities don’t work for my 3 year old. However, everything is easy to follow, with great book suggestions and wonderful activity ideas.

So gentle and sweet for the holidays

I just finished reviewing the material for the Christmas guide. It’s amazing. I can’t wait to implement these activities in our home as well as many of them in the Mommy and Me class that I lead.

I was happy to find a Christmas curriculum geared towards younger children since my oldest is only in kindergarten. This curriculum looks so fun and is a perfect fit for their age range!
