Someone choose a preschool curriculum for me. Secular, not too expensive, I don't know if there's anything else I care about, but making my own just.isn't.working. I don't have the time necessary to arrange it. And I'm desperate for some activities for these children before they drive me positively INSANE.

I have a COMPLETE curriculum on a CD. I have it for both toddler's and preschoolers and it is separated into months with each month pretty much laid out for you for EVERY area.
It also includes, bonus activities and clip art sheets such as letter flashcards etc....
Trust me, it is ALOT of stuff. The curriculum company has closed up shop and is no longer in business and the dates on everything is from 2008-9 but it is re-usable every year.
Each month (and age group) is offered in 3 different but COMPLETE series.
If you are at all interested and computer savvy....maybe you could figure out how I would e-mail you all the files on the CD's.......
(I have NO clue)
Everything needs to be printed off....but I kind of liked that option because I only had to print as many or as few as I needed.
Let me know...

Mother Goose Time! They only charge per the number of children you need for and my kids absolutely love it.Someone choose a preschool curriculum for me.

Plus, from what I hear our state has more then likely approved it for our "STARS" program which is great. It already has lesson plans, all supplies, everything for that month. I don't always follow the lesson book to the T, and take their idea and make it my own.
You can order a sample month or something like that. I really like their website also and the ladies are extremely nice in the office when you call.
So one vote for MGT-
SilverSabre25 06:52 AM 04-10-2013
MGT is expensive.... (yes I'm whining, lol). I'll consider it.
BC, that sounds interesting. I bet you could email it by attaching the entire folder? maybe? Or burn them to new discs and send them to me

It's still time consuming. But, Kidsoup and CCvillage have them online. They are inexpensive, but you still have to print things, or gather materials.
http://www.childcarelounge.com/curri...e-programs.php <--compares curriculum.
I used High Reach for one year. It's very expensive, but it was good. HOWEVER, it's not open ended. It's a cut and paste worksheet, and then the book it comes with tells you what you need to buy. I kept each unit, to revisit, but I can't say I thought it was that great, or fun. I don't feel like the kids were interested in the units.

It is REALLY large. (1.74 GB and contains 80 folders with 1378 files)
If I can't e-mail it, I will absolutely send it snail mail. But let's try e-mail first.

If you both get a Google drive set up you could share it that way. My son uploads pictures that are large and then "shares" them with me. It's a free service.PM me your e-mail and I will see if I can send the whole file.

At the time I did it I think it was 80 dollars for 6 kids (give or take on the dollars). I broke that down to be around 13 dollars per child for the month, which broke down to like .65 cents a day (per child) or $3.90 for everyone a day. If you look at it like that, I can't buy supplies that cheap, all my ink/paper to run stuff off, my time getting it together, books to buy (one included in each order), a CD was also included per month. Newletters for parents included/sight word book/little journals/etc. MGT is expensive.... (yes I'm whining, lol). I'll consider it.

So for me .65/$3.90 a day was worth it!

I did mgt and liked it, it came with a cd with music on it and other stuff. I liked that each month you got new books too. But shipping to canada is crazy expensive. And right now my group is all under 2 yrs old, right now they are all playing with the shoes in my shoe closet and putting on winter hats that belong to my kids. they are having a blast.

That still breaks down to about $1.00 a day per child or $3.00 a day for the group. Really look at it and see if you think its work that/if you can do that on your own (thats what changed my mind) and if needed maybe charge your parents a $20 curriculum fee or adjust your rates to include it. Just some ideas.I put it in for my 3 and it said est. $63 for one month.
I put mine in (6) and it was $73 so the more you order the cheaper it is it looks like.
My3cents 11:28 AM 04-12-2013
BCat I private messaged you.... I too am very interested in this and for all the same reasons as Silver. I am still doing it but just having more input, ideas etc....would be a great help. My kiddo's are little but crave more- and so do I.
I can private you my snail mail info and trust that you would keep that information to yourself. I would be willing to pay shipping cost etc.. I just can't afford the $63 a month for my small class either, maybe someday I will be able to do that. I also like to pick and choose myself what I want to do, so have been putting together my own- but I am exhausted.

How are you trying to share it? I think for Google Drive you need a gmail account, but you can share with any e-mail address. If you want to use mine just PM me and I'll give you the info to log in (it's my junk account so no privacy issues Hang tight peeps!

I want to know if anyone use Preschool Palace curriculum if so could you please share with me. I can not get in touch with the person that's over the site to purchase new material please share if you can. I am trying to build my own curriculum ideas. I like to have a variety. Thank you in advanced.
jokalima 11:05 AM 11-06-2013
You might want to try The Learning Box. Is not that expensive and it brings all you need. I was feeling the same way, not sure how to put together my own curriculum because of time issues. I had use Funshine before and Mother Goose was out of the ? because of it being to $$$ So I decided to search and search and found The Learning Box, I order the 3 day curriculum, then basically the other 3 days are for trips or free play. It's working out really good and I can see that the kids are learning from it. You can buy per month or couple of month at a time.

For those looking for preschool curriculum that's already pre planned I have several of preschool palace curriculum. I saved a lot of them from when it was free and have enough of both cycles to complete at least a year. The only difference between the free ones and the paid one is that some of the activities are different but there is still lots of ideas that are usuable. They have circle time activities, art, craft, and tons of other activities. They also have poems and songs as well as come with the templates for the crafts.
If anyone is interested please PM me with your email. Please give me until Friday. I have class tonight and will try to get some out tonight but by tomorrow for sure :-)
