23 Science Units
23 different themed science units for your science center! With 4 tray activities per unit and sensory tub ideas your science center will no longer be an overlooked center.
12 STEM Challenges
These challenges were created for whole group learning (as opposed to the Science Centers which are done independently) to encourage an interest in science! Four challenges are included for each month of the year - the challenge may be an experiment, engineering project or an exploration. Included with the four challenges are prompts to relate the experiment to a real life scenario, as well as science vocabulary cards.
10 Nursery Rhyme Mini Units
10 Nursery Rhymes are included in the curriculum bundle. The Nursery Rhyme Mini-Units are great for Circle Time or a quick whole group activity when you are have a short block of time. With many different ways to interact with the nursery rhyme - you can ensure engagement!
8 Social Emotional Units
Teach important social-emotional skills with the 8 included units. Each unit has four lessons with book recommendations, discussion points and an extension activity. We do one lesson a week, which works really well.
9 Literacy Units
Dive deeper into your favorite read alouds with these 9 literacy units. Each unit has 4 lessons that each focus on a different read aloud. In the lesson, there are prompts, ideas and extension activities to dig deeper into authors, illustrators, craft, story elements and so much more!
4 Circle Time Game Packs
Want a skill-based, quick and fun game to mix up your circle time or whole group routine? Circle Time Games are perfect! Each game was created to be used with a whole group of children and is a quick, but effective skill-building activity. Four seasonal-themed packs are included.
Pre-K Circle Time Set
Also included in this curriculum bundle is the Pre-K Circle Time Set - because great learning goes on during circle time too! With all the printable calendar pieces, letters, numbers, months and more- you'll be ready to tackle circle time!
Note: Yes, we still use a calendar - here is why.

A MUST-HAVE for every preschool classroom - procedure cards. Teach all those important routines and procedures easily with visuals so that your classroom can be running smooth as quickly as possible!
Also! Don't forget - there is a FREE pacing guide to help you plan out your year using this curriculum. Find the Pre-K Pacing Guide here.
