A HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM FOR 2 YEAR OLDS THAT STARTS TODAY
The themes follow the way toddlers grow, not the calendar, with no holidays and no dates.
Month 1 begins with your toddler's own little world, so the year starts whenever your little ones are ready.
HOW EACH WEEK WORKS
Every week follows the order of a toddler's day: Circle Time, letter and theme, math, Color of the Month, fine motor, craft, centers and one optional sensory bin for 2 year olds.
The Weekly Map gives you a simple 5-day plan, read-aloud book ideas, songs, a supply list and the four core activities for busy days.
