What You Need to Know about Purely Preschool | Should Preschool be CUTE? Or MEANINGFUL?

Today, I'm answering FAQs about Purely Preschool. I created this program because I saw a need for a preschool curriculum for moms like me--who wanted fun, themed preschool learning for their toddler, but didn't want crafts that were more "cutesy" than skill-building, and didn't have the ability or desire to purchase a bunch of materials to make preschool happen.

Oh, the food unit sounds wonderful! I really like how simple this sounds…not all the “Instagram worthy” set-ups that just aren’t realistic for some of us.

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you! Yes, for me, keeping things simple is key to making sure they actually happen. :P

[@MikkaRoqueJacobson]

I use Gentle & Classical on a regular basis, but your Purely Preschool has been sooooo valuable as an addition and on those weeks when we are on G+C pause or those weeks when a slow down is needed. So straight to the point, simple but meaty enough. So affordable as well! Thank you so much for this resource Rachel!

[@SevenInAll]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear this! That's exactly what I hoped it would be--fun & practical learning!

[@JoyfulNoiseLiving]

C is for Cookie was one of my oldest's favorites when she was 3 and 4!

[@SevenInAll]

It's a classic!

[@JoyfulNoiseLiving]

Love the simplicity of all this! I really wish this was available when I had preschoolers! :)

[@SevenInAll]

Just a handful of years too late, haha!

[@TheMumfordMob]

I just love this!! Preschool was just the most fun time to learn and enjoy the time together. I loved this flip through, and if we are blessed with more children, I will definitely return to this. I love how simple it it, and I think the Love Homework is super special. Building a positive relationship and school relationship with your child is imperative during preschool, and I think you hit all the spots to encourage this! Great job!

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you so much! Preschool is a precious season!

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

I love the simplicity of it!

[@SevenInAll]

I thrive with the simple and straightforward plan, and I figured that other families would as well!

[@JoyfulNoiseLiving]

I LOVE the memory work you have included. Another one of the most important things to include in preschool :)

[@SevenInAll]

Thanks, Ashley!

[@Busybeeexplorers]

We bought all about me and food, and we love them! I will have to remember to get bedtime next! It sounds like something we could use 😊

[@SevenInAll]

It was much needed in our own family when we used it!

[@aprilmagoo495]

These are perfect for my 'ready to do school' 3.5 yr old! Then we can start Alphabet Part1 this fall/winter. I went ahead and ordered food for our first PP unit :)

[@SevenInAll]

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that! Awesome! Hope you guys have fun with it! :)

[@madrespoderosas-powerfulmo2138]

So great to hear about this curriculum. Thank you so much for the discount code, by the way. I think I will be purchasing the Spanish version to help my boys more with their Spanish. They’re at a preschool level 😆 So practice makes perfect!

[@SevenInAll]

I definitely recommend letting them listen to Spanish picture books and songs--even those for preschoolers have so much rich vocabulary and grammar in them.

[@destinationdero]

Great insight on your preschool curriculum. Hope you have a fantastic week.

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you!

[@robzzzzzz1]

My kids just finished spring and now we’re doing the insects and we are having a grand time ! They love memorize the cards .. we use it as a unit study and add many more activities and videos to it so it’s lots of fun

[@SevenInAll]

My son always loved memorizing the cards, too!

[@countrywisheshomeschool]

I love how this is sweet and simple!

[@SevenInAll]

I'm firmly convinced that the schoolwork that actually gets DONE, is the schoolwork that's easy to do. :)

[@raisinguprogers]

WOW! I am so intrigued by this! It looks like so much fun!

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you!

[@lifewithginab]

A winter unit would be so great! I love that you included books we could find on KZbin as I don't have the best library here... we love the season units... since we do have all seasons they were so fun to complete with my son... can't wait to do it with my little girl ❤️

[@SevenInAll]

Aww, she's growing up so fast! Seems like she was tiny not so long ago but I know she'll be doing her own preschool activities before too long!

[@NotSoPerfectHomeschool]

Love me some purely preschool!!!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you!

[@marygracespoelman2649]

It was great to listen about how you organize Purely Preschool units and your reasonings behind it!

[@SevenInAll]

Organization is an important part of homeschool!

[@Gemini0110]

I have already purchased and printed several of the units. It will still be a couple years before we use it.

[@SevenInAll]

You're well prepared! I'm looking forward to when my little guy is ready...I will probably wait till after he turns three. :)

[@marlah.7511]

Yay for Winter unit!

[@SevenInAll]

Hopefully! I don't have the equipment I need for designing with me while we are traveling...but hopefully I will have enough time when we get back!

[@marlah.7511]

@@SevenInAll Oh goodness! Don’t even think about it while you’re traveling! Just relax and have fun with your family! 😄 I’ll look forward to purchasing it whenever it becomes available! Thanks for planning to create it. 👍🏻

[@elizabethlotus4214]

Love it!

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you!

[@thehudsonshub]

This looks like a wonderful curriculum, Rachel!

[@SevenInAll]

Thank you!

[@trainthemup]

Why not both?! It’s cute and meaningful! I love the themes. I have an abundance of curriculum but I might just have to snag these too. I’m not a Spanish speaker but I want to learn and to teach my daughter. If I were to purchase both English and Spanish options, would be pretty easy to combine them?? I need the English directions, but I’d love the English and Spanish content.

[@SevenInAll]

The English and Spanish options are largely identical, just with the instructions for an activity translated into Spanish. The aspects that are different are: the books, the songs...and some of the phonics/alphabet activities are different because the same letter activities don't always make sense with the theme in both languages. I have had a few families buy both versions because they want to include Spanish in their preschool routine. BUT--that has been for parents who spoke SOME Spanish but weren't fluent. If you don't speak or read some Spanish...I think it might be pretty hard to make that work for you. I have the free sample lesson in both English and Spanish on my website so you could always download to see what I mean. Here's the link to the English sample: www.wheredyoulearnthat.com/freebies/p/purely-preschool-sample-lesson Spanish sample: www.wheredyoulearnthat.com/freebies/p/puramente-preescolar-sample-lesson

[@carrieschmiesing8360]

Do you have a video like this and/or flip through for alphabet adventures?

[@SevenInAll]

Yes! That's right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWnMqqmcgJujjZY

[@brenkm955]

I purchased the Night and Food units for my little one, but she is almost 4. I’m hoping they’ll still work well for her. I was so excited about them that I didn’t even consider the fact that she may need more of a pre-k curriculum by the time we start! I’ll take a look at Alphabet Adventures. Do you think it would be easy enough to combine the 2?😃

[@SevenInAll]

I think you can definitely still give it a try if your little one is closer to 4--I give an age recommendation, but in reality, kids vary so much at any one age. My oldest son was very ready for Alphabet Adventures by the time he turned 4, but with my younger son...I may wait a little longer because he's a little less interested in "school" like his brother was at his age. A slightly older preschooler using Purely Preschool might show more mastery in the alphabet activities and learning statements vs. with a younger preschooler, I would be expecting more of just exposure and play, not so much mastery. You might try combining--Purely Preschool has the fun preschool themes, and then Alphabet Adventures is focused on the alphabet, more for kids who are ready to really master all those beginning phonics sounds and recognize all their letters.
