little acorn learning

[mamamelia]

anyone used this? i just had a look at the free PDF that is on thier website it looks good. just wanted some more opinions from anyone who has tried this.

it's about 75% of what i was looking for when i posted my other thread titiled "cirriculum for 4yo and 2yo"... i wanted something nature based, play based, not too far out (we don't want to study elves and fairies all day, my eldest is just not built for that type of fantasy) and have a lovely rythym/meaning overall that can be tied to the seasons.

so...

opinions please!! thank you!

I started subbing to LA when my baby was born in August. It has been such a wonderful thing for our family. I will pm you a link to my blog so you can see what we have been doing...

My LO is two and this is my 2cd month using little acorns. I really like it of course a lot of it I can't use with him yet but I found its great for inspiring me to use their ideas and then adjust them for his age and skills. (and I can just use them next year when he'll be able to do more of it)

I think it's fantastic. I also mix it with Lessons of Joy which is similar.
There is a big discussion of LA and SOJ here which may have the info you are looking for...

This is our second year using Little Acorn Learning, and we really love it. I have a just turned 5 and 3 year boys, and they seem to really stay engaged in it. Eileen does a great job of catering to many age groups, and helping the parents an easy to follow schedule.
