Whether you have older kids schooling at home or in a building, or even if your oldest is preschool-aged, it’s never a bad thing to have a bit of structure to your time during the day. No preschooler should be sitting down for six straight hours, but if you have a curious and active 3 or 4 year old, finding ideas for fun and educational things to do at home can be helpful. Here are 7 free at home preschool curriculum options for you to check out for the coming school year. You can pick and choose between them, or pick one and just do the things that seem like they would be helpful!

I love this curriculum because it incorporates art, music, and nature, and there are also ideas and options for babies and toddlers.
