Heart of Dakota's Little Hands to Heaven preschool program features simple daily plans that will give you a special learning time with your preschooler!

Thirty-three units are based on stories from the Bible and are filled with ideas to get kids moving, exploring, and playing in a meaningful way. Each unit has a theme centered on Bible characters (e.g. "Young Joseph," "Jonah Tries to Run") with the activities coordinating with the daily Bible stories. A complete program, this course covers letter recognition, formation, and sounds; early math skills; art; dramatic plays; finger plays; music; and more. The quick and easy activities require little or no preparation and use only common household materials and a Bible (a list of recommended additional resources is below). Units are broken down into days. Every day's lesson has easy-to-follow instruction boxes with a key idea for each topic. Patterns, reproducible activities, and other components are also integrated throughout.

Lesson plans are written so you can use the program with multiple ages at the same time.

The following books are NOT included, but are recommended for the following age groups:

The Sonlight Pre-K program, Exploring God's World, is designed to bridge the gap between the Sonlight preschool program and the early chapter books and academics of Sonlight A - perfect for ages 4-5. This level gently expands learning time from primarily picture books into gentle teaching. Pre-K includes delightful imaginative literature while starting to develop your children's knowledge of the real world.

Pre-K includes many fiction titles that are nicely illustrated, but the number of words per page increases significantly and expands to include collections of short stories. Children also start to learn about history and how to express the concept of time.

The Pre-K Science books teach children about the months of the year, farm animals, the four seasons, simple machines, and more. The humanities are introduced through the study of famous art and a book of poetry illustrated by Eric Carle.

Developing the Early Learner Volumes I-IV is a series of four carefully sequenced workbooks that are designed to help your children build motor skills (useful for handwriting), visual skills (useful for letter recognition and reading), auditory skills (important for following directions and listening to great books), and comprehension (understanding those great books).

The Pre-K Instructor's Guide includes resources for teaching all Pre-K subjects, including: a full schedule; teaching helps; memory exercises, nursery rhymes, poems, songs, and activities; and more. Each week includes 5-6 additional hands-on activities that coordinate with the reading.

Estimated daily time for the Pre-K Exploring God's World Program: Student and Parent: 20 mins to 1.5 hrs. Ages 4-5. Covers 36 weeks of instruction.

The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of all is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. From Noah, to Moses, to the great King David---every story points to him. He is the missing piece to the puzzle---the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle.
