The KidSparkz! Preschool Curriculum is a series of 240 simply integrated daily sequences of activities, each based on a topic or theme. Each sequence contains suggestions for Creative Art; Discovery and Exploration; Music; Group Discussion; Games; Stories; and a specific Spark! activity designed to focus curiosity and interest. There are over 1800 different written activities in the basic curriculum, many of them linked to a coordinating activity printable to extend the learning.
Preschool teachers, home daycare owners, and parents of preschoolers have found that the daily program is:
-
EASY to understand, follow and use,
-
SUCCESSFUL -- the children really enjoy the activities and games, and while they are having fun, they are learning
-
INEXPENSIVE and simple to prepare the daily activities, since the program makes use of items normally found in a home or a school, and the list of extra supplies needed (included in the curriculum) is very short.
-
FLEXIBLE, because although each daily integrated sequence of activities is self contained, and CAN be completed within 3 hours, it can be creatively extended for days, as long as interest in the topic lasts
-
IDEAL for all levels of experience. For those just beginning, the activity ideas can be followed exactly to provide lots of fun and learning experiences for the children. For those with more experience, the ideas provide a springboard to spread the wings of creativity, and a reminder of songs, stories and activities they may have used successfully in the past.
-
AUTHENTIC, because it is based on proven and longstanding educational theory and practice (Vygotsky, Piaget), and complementing the latest findings in early education
(Project Approach, Theme-Based)
The children play; they have fun; they learn and love it; they develop a strong curiosity and sense of discovery and creativity that will lead them into Kindergarten, as well as into the rest of their lives.
"I think your programs are WONDERFUL. They are filled with fun and creative ideas. Your art ideas, recipes, etc all will be applied in our daycare.......I appreciate you sharing so much of yourself, many people would not share the knowledge that they have to help others. You saved me a lot of hours of research and headaches.... Thank you".
....Janice from Tampa Bay
"Thank you so much for this lovely activity set. I have only had it a few hours and I have already found it extremely helpful. I'm an Early Childhood Education major and I graduate in June. I have 3 classes now and I have so many uses for these projects; to get me through school and to use in my future Child Care Center".
........Brynn K.
"I have three children ages 14 and autistic twins which are 4 1/2. I couldn't be any happier to have this curriculum. All the ideas, creativity, arts, songs, etc.... have been wonderful. I don't have huge amounts of time to look for these things separately. Now, all I have to do is look through all the wonderful ideas and quickly can have structured learning time. Play-dough was great, fun, and easy! I just wanted to say that this has been far more valuable to me than what I paid. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful product for people who do want to teach their children at home."
....Dawn I.
"...I just looked through what you sent to me and I must say I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I am printing off the pages now (I had to print EVERYTHING because there was nothing I wanted to leave out) But it couldn't be more perfect and more appropriate! Thank you SO much and you can count on that I will be ordering more from you in the near future!!! Again thanks a lot and everything downloaded just fine!"
....Christie P.
......I am very pleased with the information. I have been considering starting some sort of preschool / daycare and this information is exactly what I was looking for! I am also a
certified elementary education teacher and so I know a good thing when I see
it :o)
........Robin
I would like to just let you know that I am so impressed with your work. I have been in the field of Early Childhood Education for 13 years and have been creating my own curriculum in order to create a place for the kids in my care to be kids, and your work has just added, like you say, a Spark! to the whole project....
.....Jennifer from Canada
Thank you so much for the WEALTH of information at an affordable price. I am very pleased with your files, they are more than I expected and would highly recommend them to others like me that are trying to homeschool their preschool kids to get them ready for school or maybe continue to homeschool. I was amazed at the information you provided. It lets me look at teaching my kid in a whole new way that I would have never dreamed of! I now can teach (in the eye of my child) while having FUN and spending time with him while we are both learning!!!
...a parent from VA
Wow that was fast! Everything downloaded beautifully. I have been looking over the materials and I am impressed. I hold a B.S. and a teaching certificate in early childhood development. I hope to have my own classroom at some point, but for now, I am staying home with my children. I can't wait to start using your materials with them. Later, I know they will be useful in my classroom. As you know, a teacher can never have too many ideas, and you have provided me with a wealth of information!
