Gentle and Classical Preschool: Level 1
Hello friend! It has been a hot second.
The latter end of fall was a whirlwind in so many ways for our family. Videos and blogging needed to go on the back-burner, but now (after some kind encouragement from followers and subscribers – thank you!) I have things planned for this space in the new year!
First up – new preschool! Recently, my 3 year old has really showed more of an interest in structured ‘school’ time and I needed something that was open and go, while still fitting our philosophy. Enter in A Gentle and Classical Preschool Level 1!
There is so much I love about this curriculum which is explained more in depth in the video, but to sum it up:
1. Open and go once you prep all the materials (store by unit in page protectors in a binder) and Erin offers the Teachers Manuals for FREE!
2. Classical AND Charlotte Mason inspired. It uses memory work to springboard a living book education = LOVE.
3. It engages the whole child, making attainments doable for both the learner and a busy Mama!(Just a note – Level 1 is being rewritten to launch in June. I decided to purchase anyways and implement because I liked what I saw. It is discounted currently because of this and if you want the rewrite you will have to buy again. Follow A Gentle and Classical Press on instagram for discounts!)
Watch the video below to see how I plan on implementing it and other resources I am using. I’ve also {aff} linked all the resources we have and love as well. Just click an image to find them on Amazon.

Charlotte Mason Form I Schedule
I’ve been asked a lot about my true, Charlotte Mason morning schedule while using A Gentle Feast for my Form IB and IA students. Many people assume that to do a true Charlotte Mason Form I Schedule you must have to teach all day because of the vast amount of subjects covered. Oh contraire! That’s…
Clay Modelling Handicraft
A manual of Clay-Modelling review If anyone knows me, they 100% understand I do not have an artistic bone in my body. Yes, I can dream and think of ideas, but when it comes to implementing…well, that’s why I married a handyman and artist. 😂 But should I let that limit me when educating my…
Notebooks for the Charlotte Mason Homeschool
*this post will be updated periodically as I add more video reviews on specific notebooks* Other than living books, the number one resource in a Charlotte Mason homeschool is notebooks. Notebooks to catalogue what you’ve read, to remember inspiring quotes, to write your dictations and copywork, to make lists of animals and plants you see,…
FREE Homeschool Math Curriculum for K-8th Grade!
Last year I posted a video of how my family planned to use Rays Arithmetic and we happily did for a few months. It really is a great curriculum because of cost and content. Like I say in the video, if it is working for your family, keep using it; I really believe it serves…
2nd Grade Homeschool Curriculum Basket
Charlotte Mason and Classical Education My goal this year was to simplify, organize, and provide a feast of subjects for my 2nd grader. When I discovered, somewhat by accident, the classical model of memory work, I knew this would be my backbone to our year. We decided on Claritas Publishing for our memory work because of their…
