Introducing
Play into Kindergarten Readiness
A step-by-step, thoughtful, and wholesome curriculum for 3-5 year olds.
The preschool years matter. A lot.
Did you know that 90% of a child's brain growth happens before age 6?
It's no wonder early experiences have a lasting impact on a child's learning, behavior, and health. No pressure, right!?
As a teacher and homeschooling mama, let me be the first to tell you: It doesn't have to be hard.
You can teach your child through play!
In just 20-minutes of play a day, you can cover all core skills. The activities in Play into Kindergarten Readiness are:
Here's what to expect with Play into Kindergarten Readiness:

- Month 5: The Weather
- Month 6: The Moon
- Month 7: Transportation
Cover all core skills through a teacher-created curriculum.
Your 20-minute activities cover all fundamental skills, including literacy, math, fine and gross motor skills, social and emotional wellness, and more.
And beautify your space with watercolor printables.
Each theme also includes beautiful vocabulary cards and other printables to extend the learning and create a cozy, welcoming learning space.
Here's what's included:
A strong foundation through 20-minutes of play a day.

The daily activities are nice and simple and have almost no preparation needed. Working through these activities one at a time will ensure your child has experience with all of the fundamental preschool skills required to soar into future learning (whether at home or in the classroom).
Your 20-minutes of play starts today!
Here's what other parents and caregivers have to say:
Just wanted to say I bought the program over the family day weekend (how perfect lol) and I love it. I know I can count on your programs to be amazing. I run a licensed family daycare and feel like I’m able to add an extra level of quality and engagement to what I offer to families, thanks to your inspiration.
Anyways, your programs and blog posts are so great and I just love what you’re putting into the world. You are sooooooo meant to do this!
We are a homestead family and I’m grateful for such great quality resources for enriching my children's lives. Thank you so much!
I just wanted to send a note to say THANK YOU for putting this program together!
I am completely in love! I love the daily organization, and I even moreso love how it lays out the skills being worked on each day. That part honestly sold me because it felt like everything I had been searching for on Pinterest was already laid out each week. The activities are so simple and yet I wouldn't have thought to do so many of them. The pictures are beautiful, everything is laid out incredibly well, and I've been so excited checking out the themes each month, ordering our library books and gathering the few supplies for a new month of learning.
I could go on and on, but honestly, just wanted to say thank you for making this actually seem doable for us and bringing a lot of peace into the idea of homeschool in our home despite the circus that it is right now!
One thing I love is that the activities give options for expansion and leave room for creativity. I also feel guided because you've included so much of the rationale in the short explanations of the activities. I feel very equipped as a parent and I'm learning so much!
This is how children need to be learning—with hands-on, playful activities! <3
The ideas within this book are perfect for parents and early childhood educators looking to teach their kids in real, meaningful ways.
As a FYI It's been a few months since I ordered Play into Kindergarten Readiness and my son has improved drastically! His confidence is back, when we take walks he automatically looks for shapes and numbers, setting the table is his favorite and his scissor skills are unbelievable lol.
I am so thankful for your courses, the idea that I have a plan for him every day is just comforting.
I am just so thrilled that he is motivated again to learn, even though he doesn't know he is learning, it's brilliant!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child is ready for Play into Kindergarten Readiness?
Generally, children are ready to begin Play into Kindergarten Readiness when they are two or three years old. A few signs to look for to know whether your child is ready: your child can focus and concentrate on an interesting activity for 5 minutes, your child is able to answer simple questions (e.g. "What colour do you like best?" or "Would you like to wear your striped t-shirt or your polka dot t-shirt today?"), and your child enjoys playing!
What is phonological awareness?
You will learn all about phonological skills in Play into Kindergarten Readiness! Phonological skills actually have nothing to do with the letters in the alphabet, but they are essential for building a strong foundation for reading. Phonological awareness focuses on auditory skills, hearing the relationship between words—the rhymes, the sounds, the syllables, etc.
Did you know that a child’s ability to rhyme in Kindergarten is a direct predictor of his or her reading success in grade one? It’s true! Rhyming is the first of seven phonological skills that your little one will master with Play into Kindergarten Readiness.
