You have a little one at home whose busy hands and racing feet are constantly in the middle of everything? No matter how much they make us laugh or cry, we should never underestimate their capacity for learning! Their brains and bodies are growing at an incredible rate, and they are capable of so much more than traditional programs give them credit for.

They amaze you because they truly are amazing. 

If you’ve been looking for ways to nurture your toddler, preschooler, or kindergartener’s intellectual, physical, and emotional growth, we are here to show you how to make the magic happen.

You and your child will be partners in learning. You’ll embrace the teachable moments in everyday life, and you’ll learn how to be a better teacher by following your child and relying on time-tested, highly effective lessons.

We believe that not only is it possible for parents to be effective educators — they already are.

Homeschoolers know their own children best. Yet a successful homeschool experience for parents of young children requires two elements: a solid foundation and a day-to-day practice built around high-quality curriculum and parent support. That’s why we built all our foundation and practice programs around the 3 Cs - Curriculum, Community, and Coaching.

Children also deserve a method of instruction that nurtures the whole child and delivers the absolute best that early childhood education can offer. The Montessori method is progressive and time-tested. It has always been and continues to be our North Star.

In Homeschool of the Redwoods: Primary, you’ll learn strategies for developing and maintaining a rhythm and routine, methods for “following the child,” and Montessori teaching techniques for every subject. You’ll get lessons, yes, but – more importantly – you’ll get the big picture. 

Like all our foundation and practice programs, Primary provides you with complete support through the 3 Cs — Curriculum, Community, and Coaching. That means you receive master lists of the essential lessons and activities, access to our private online community, and a series of live group coaching events.

And because education is a journey, you get lifetime access to the core materials including any updates and revisions we publish to those materials. That means you can come back any time and as often as you want to brush up on concepts.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll learn how to do for your toddler, preschooler, or kindergartener:

• Lesson plan and document progress

• Develop your child’s fine motor skills

• Teach your child to read and write

• Teach your child how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide

When you complete Homeschool of the Redwoods: Primary, you’ll understand how to fully implement the Montessori method on any budget (materials optional but not required!), and you’ll walk away with fun and engaging, sequenced lessons to give your child. You’ll know why they are important and which ones to focus on for your child’s skill level.

Knowing what to teach and how to teach is a great foundation for your homeschool, but many parents would like to save time with quality printable materials and lessons fully scripted and ready to go. Even if you use a nature-centric, relaxed approach to homeschooling, without a regular influx of inspiration, it can be hard to maintain your teaching rhythm. 

This is where our Constellation program truly shines. It’s a monthly, themed curriculum program for families with children ages 2 to 9. Because we emphasize a spiraling curriculum approach, each month touches on a wide array of subjects, including the sciences, reading and writing, math, practical life, and sensorial. 

How can we aspire to write a thematic unit for such a broad age range? Simple: this program is designed to grow with your child. All of our themed activities are rich, authentically Montessori, aligned with the foundation program, and come with guidance on how to give the lesson to children of different ages.

Each Thematic Activities packet includes:

• A recommended book list

• Art, poetry, and music selections

• A monthly pacing guide

• Themed projects and lessons

And because we created Constellation for budget conscious homeschoolers, we include as many print-at-home items as possible within the packet, including parts cards, lab sheets, and visual recipes. When a lesson does call for special materials, we emphasize common household objects.

You’ll also be invited to two live coaching events per month PLUS you get access to our private community where we chat about the activities and offer more resources, extra support, and a heap of motivation. 

You may never have thought of it this way, but the research confirms: you are already your child’s most influential educator. You’re teaching them all the time. The more you understand about how learning works, the more you can provide an intentional, enriching experience for your child.

After all, learning doesn’t start and stop according to a school clock. It’s organic and ongoing. Once a child grips a concept, they won’t let go.

We are here to help you know what to do — how to effectively guide, give lessons, introduce and review concepts. We want you to feel confident and qualified. We’re here to make all easier — especially for those of you who are new to homeschooling.

Because it’s not just your child who should be finding the joy in learning… we want it for you, too.
