Pre-K and Kindergarten Set

HOMESCHOOL EDITION · for families learning at home

Two guides, two years: Pre-K and Kindergarten

Follow your child from four to six, without a gap
Two years of enormous growth, and most of it happens where no worksheet can catch it. This set gives you both guides at once: the Pre-K guide for your four-year-old, and the Kindergarten guide that picks up exactly where the first one leaves off. Same five areas, same rhythm, one year older. You buy once and you are set until first grade.

A child-led observation tool
Both guides are written for you, not for your child. For every area you get an observation guide with key indicators, playful ideas to try when they fit your day, and space to write down what you noticed. This is child-led learning with a compass: you follow what your child is ready for, and you always know which ground you are covering.

It covers what your state expects
The five areas cover every domain used in state standards for these ages: social-emotional development, language and literacy, math, physical development, and understanding the world and creative arts. Both guides are built around child development rather than one state's curriculum, so they work wherever you live and however you teach.

And they leave you with a record
Each guide closes with a portfolio: the Kindergarten Readiness Portfolio after the Pre-K year, and the First Grade Readiness Portfolio after the Kindergarten year. One clear overview of the milestones your child reached and where they are still growing. In states that ask for a portfolio or evidence of progress, the completed record can serve as part of what you keep on file. Everywhere else, it is quiet proof, for you, that a full year of real learning happened. Your child gets an Explorer Diploma at the end of each year, with a small ceremony to close it.

Written by a teacher with twelve years in the classroom, and grounded in widely recognized developmental milestones and child development research.
