Christian Preschool Curriculum for the Homeschool
Children who stay at home with loving one-on-one attention do better in the long run.
You taught your child to walk and talk. Keep on teaching them at home with carefully selected preschool curriculum.
It is not about trying to imitate school. It is about teaching them to love and serve God. Many young parents try to emulate "real school" and lose sight of what's important in the long run (the eternal one!)
The following resources are proven and inexpensive but superior resources for homeschooling. They are excellent because they encourage learning and keep the family environment.
We think the Creation Story for Children is a delightful way to introduce creation to young children. It is one to read over and over to them. It is a worthy book. This is an excellent way to add Bible and science to your Christian Preschool Curriculum.
The Creation Story for Children
By Helen Haigle, Illustrated by David Haigle and Cheri Bladholm This is a beautifully illustrated book that tells young children about creation. The authors tell the story using scripture on the top paragraph of the page. A second paragraph points out unique things about that part of creation. Sometimes there are questions for some discussion. The second part of the book talks about God's amazing creatures. That is fun for any young child. Then in the third part of the book, the authors focus on the uniqueness of each child from the first person (me) perspective. For example, God formed me. Scriptures are used from Genesis 1 and 2 and from Psalm 139 (KJV). |

By Kenneth Taylor, Illustrated by Kathryn E. Shoemaker
This is the 1983 copyright edition with illustrations by Kathryn E. Shoemaker.
We used this with our children. I love the illustrations in this edition. Big Thoughts for Little People goes through the alphabet with a beautiful picture and Bible verse for each letter. The writing (poem) goes with each picture and verse. There is additional explanation/discussion/questions in Kenneth Taylor's style for each one. Children love to find the hidden ladybugs in each picture. It is a hardcover book. |
