All the Best for Preschool | Our Preschool Plan | Preschool Homeschool Curriculum for 3 + 4 year old

What would be our dream preschool program? In today's video, I share all the resources and curricula that we have come to know and love over the past three years of doing this whole homeschool pre-k thing. 🥰 These are the books, resources, and curricula that we will turn to every time preschool rolls around again in our family.
Some of you asked for recommendations--and so here is the result. Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions!
~Hugs!

Hi! I’m Sarah. I’m so glad you’re here! Make yourself cozy, because I hope to be chatting a lot with you in this online "home."
I'm wife to a Brazilian soccer coach and mama to three precious, bilingual kiddos. We live internationally and speak multiple languages in our home. If you ask my family where we are from, you might hear a little hesitant pause as we debate how to condense a lifetime of story down into a two-second answer. (Do we say the USA? That would only be about a third true. Brazil? Same deal. Thailand? Asia? Do we share that our families include in-laws from Europe and South America?)
We are on a journey to nurture our family at home and abroad--wherever we live.
Here on my channel, you will find bilingual homeschool (and bilingual family) experiences, preschool ideas, book and resource reviews, and homeschool tips and community--all with a bit of travel and expat life thrown in.
Be sure to introduce yourself in the comments. I always love connecting with you!

will be waiting for the book selections! thank u so much!❤

[@emmasexton4578]

I absolutely love your channel! I will be starting to homeschool my daughter hopefully next year and your videos are so calm and happy’

[@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome]

Oh, I'm so glad! Excited for your new adventure of homeschooling! 🥰

[@SevenInAll]

Great video! I share much of the same philosophy for the importance of preschool--the importance of planting these seeds of important habits and big ideas, and I also plan for 2 years of preschool. I think we share many of the same favorite resources--that Berenstain Bears science book is so great!

[@budgetnutritionist]

Also would LOVE to hear more about the research on teaching preschoolers to read!! I've been feeling pressured not to teach my preschooler who is VERY eager to read!

[@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome]

Sorry you're feeling pressured not to let her read. I'll have to do some digging to find the research again (it was probably 2013 that I did it--crazy how long ago that feels!). But from what I remember off the top of my head, the heaviest objections to teaching reading to toddlers/preschoolers were 1) not wanting them to advance to content that might not be age-appropriate (for example, not having challenging reading at their maturity level), 2) not tiring them and causing them to have learning exhaustion, and 3) not relying on memorization. None of those are, in my opinion, absolute barriers to doing something. There are ways to avoid all three of those pitfalls. (And I'm also not super against memorization in many cases.) The benefits, of course, are the same as for any other age group. And you also have the additional benefit of natural curiosity. ;) I'll try to find the research and add this to my list of videos to make.

@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome Love this!! So interesting! Thank you for sharing!!

[@seasonsofwonder]

You have so many great ideas! 🙏☺️

[@budgetnutritionist]

I've bought so many of these resources at your recommendation and they've all been fabulous! Going forward, do you have affiliate links? I'd love to support your work!!

[@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome]

Oh, I'm so glad you're enjoying these resources too! And thanks for wanting to support my work! I have a few affiliate links for resources that I include in the description of my videos, but I don't have a ton of affiliate links for direct purchases from curricula companies.

Both of my boys were itching to do school by 2.5…. Especially my second son who knew exactly what “school” was, but my first son was right on board and loved every “school” activity we did. I should probably make a curriculum video again 🧐 it’s been a whole year 😅 This fall, I’ll have a 3 year old preschooler and a 5 (nearly 6) year old “official” kindergartener (although the grade level work he does is literally all over the place). These are very fun ages to teach. They both LOVE science… astronomy and anything bug related.

[@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome]

I'd love to watch an updated curriculum video! I miss watching your content and was thinking about you the other day. 🥰 That's awesome that your boys have both been so eager to begin school! And I'd love to hear what you're using for astronomy! My soon-to-be kindergartener is very interested in the solar system, and I haven't yet researched something for us to study together.

@@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome A while back I purchased several of the apologia books deeply discounted just to have as a reference. I don’t fully agree with their theology, so I didn’t think I’d use it, but my son found the book and LOVES it. He read through most of the Astronomy book on his own, and was asking me for materials to do the experiments. I went ahead and got the kit from natures workshop so it could all be together and now we are working through the the curriculum basically as written. I actually really like it for a lot of reasons. If he were a 5th or 6th grader, I don’t think I’d love it, but it’s perfect for him right now. He is also reading the bug sections of the zoology 1 book to little brother, and they both love it and learn from each other 😍 I’m almost totally uninvolved with that but the only activity we are doing from that curriculum right now is raising caterpillars for painted lady butterflies. I can see us repeating that activity next year. Other than that, my boys just spend a lot of time catching bugs with their friends after church. I tried NOEO science chemistry 1 for grades 1-3 and I don’t like a lot about it (the usability or questioning format) even though I technically don’t have any personal conflicts with the content they teach. We also have enjoyed the memoria press kindergarten enrichment science books which basically is a broad exposure to general science and nature study through picture books (that usually closely correspond to their literature picture book for the week) with very simple activities. Their picture book selection is top notch for both literature and science. This has given my son a broad exposure to a variety of topics but doesn’t really deep dive into anything, which I also think is generally appropriate for this age. My son just enjoys the books for topics that don’t fully resonate with him but he devours and rereads the books over and over for things that spark his interest. He just asks more and more questions and does his own deep dive. Apologia + memoria press really has been a good fit for our family.

Can you do a video of how to purchase purely preschool I’m so confused by her website

[@MyHomeYourHomeOurHome]

Hi! I understand that it can be confusing to navigate from the page that Google has tagged as the landing page for "Purely Preschool." Here is a direct link to the products: www.wheredyoulearnthat.com/shop/purely-preschool. If you click on a unit and then scroll down through the description of the product, there is an "add to cart" button. Then click the icon of the shopping cart on the top right-hand of the page. There, you can complete the purchase. Let me know if that is still confusing, and I can possibly make a video short about purchasing the curriculum. 😊
