Cathy Duffy heartily recommends this curriculum as “...a happy medium which provides some structure yet is not heavy with time-wasters...one of the few resources that I feel truly meets the home school situation and appropriately addresses the needs of young children.”

 All you need is what you have at home and a library card and you are set for a happy time at home with your pre-schooler
