How Does It Work?
Sign up by the 20th of each month. Each month your child will receive a box based on a theme (colors, fall, transportation, community helpers, etc). Inside each box will be a 4 week lesson plan, activity book and the pieces for each math and literacy activity (nine (9) math and four (4) literacy activities), plus art and science supplies. Each activity gives a clear description of the activity, including objectives, assessment, individualization tips and extension ideas. Since we believe children learn through repetition and hands-on experiences, some of the math activities will be repeated throughout the month and the literacy activities will be done twice a week.
What Ages Is the Preschool2U Box for?
Each box is meant for children ages 3 to 5. Each activity can be done at your child’s level of understanding. Each activity also provides suggestions of how to individualize for your child, based on his or her learning level. For children who fully grasp concepts of the activities, extension ideas are given to help enhance your child’s learning.
What If The Activities Are Too Easy for My Child?
Our goal for each activity is to enhance your child’s learning at whatever level they are at. To help do this, we provide extension ideas for each activity (i.e., a sorting activity would use an addition and subtraction how-to idea). Extra enhancement activities can also be purchased on our website under our Shop tab.
