Nursery level 1 (Birth – 1 year old)

We believe that one of the best things a parent can instill in very young children is a love for learning. We suggest that a gentle approach to education be taken during these very early years, because most young children do not have adequate fine motor control to do much work in a workbook-style curriculum. Instead, we recommend a hands-on method.

Although we use very few testing materials in the early years, we do recommend either a test or a checklist before starting instruction in reading. Children lacking in gross motor or fine motor skills will likely face frustration in reading instruction.

A complete easy-to-follow lesson plan comes with this package.

All the items in this package are non-consumable, so the entire package can be used for additional children in the family.

Nursery 1 includes:

How Can I Help? God’s Calling For Kids

A colorful, character-focused read aloud which teaches foundational biblical truths. The book is based on the belief that children are also called to love and serve, and they can do this by developing their talents, honoring their parents, growing in their knowledge of God, and acting appropriately in society. Parents are also called to help children grow into these callings, and therefore, the text and illustrations show children and parents living these out in daily settings. Theme verse uses ESV Bible. Text is in short sentences.
