        Preschool Curriculum Programs

        Applications taken now through August 23 !!
        The question is should you do some sort of preschool activities with the children in your care............. and, if so where do you begin? Many providers create their own preschool curriculums either from their own resources at home (preschool curriculum theme books) or from materials they find online or a combination of both. One of my favorite resource books to use is the Mailbox Magazine and books. There are many places to find great preschool materials online. One of my favorites is of course my own Step By Step Preschool Theme Pages. Another favorite of mine is the Preschool Sublist of the Provider's Playground email list. The preschool theme sites listed here are all pages I visit frequently for ideas.

        Organizing a preschool program can be very time consuming so many child care providers opt to purchase a packaged preschool curriculum kit. Listed below you will find links to the most popular packaged kits.
        What I'm using this year!

        I get many inquiries as to what curriculum I am using each year. This year, after much research, I've decided to use KidCrafters Preschool Program. With KidCrafters you can join a Buying Group and get the program for as low as $21/month regardless of the number of children you plan on teaching. You choose any one of 3 cycles (different themes) and you will be shipped the entire year (Sept - May plus summer) all at once. You will receive a CD plus a nice book for each month. You simply print out the activities you are interested in. There is enough material to last more than one year! KidCrafters also has 4 seasonal literacy programs (winter, spring, summer and fall). For all of us book lovers out there, these are awesome.
