Oak Meadow Preschool?

We have the OM Kindergarten year. I'd have to say that it's the exception these days, for a child to make it to 5 years old, and still need to be introduced to the alphabet, and 1-10.

For the younger years, they (Oak Meadow people) are not particularly challenging with academic work. But they do that on purpose. If you look even further ahead, their work is just where it "should" be. But early on, they prefer the focus to Not be on hard-core "school" work. There's plenty of time for that later, and they'll get to it.

I don't even bother with the letter and number introduction part of the OM package. My child is quite beyond that, so I won't bore her with it. But, it is still a great package, imo. There is so much more than that. I really like their suggestions and activities and stories.

But fwiw, I'm one who does not feel restricted to the chosen curriculum. I've never intened to use to curriculm for early reading and math anyway. We're getting on just fine with our own methods there.

I think the OM package is a great place to get ideas for some age-appropriate, enriching, fulfilling activities.

Thanks for the help! I think I will skip the curriculum since there is very little I think I would really want to use from it. Thanks for the link Lillian (my DD's name btw ), I think that will actually end up being more of a help (as long as I can organize myself enough to write down the things I'd like to do on some sort of "schedule"--and I mean schedule very loosely--so I actually do them LOL!).
