    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.

Spring Guide for my 4 year old

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.
