At Home Preschool

St. Catherine’s Preschool is offering an At Home Preschool option for preschoolers this school year, September through May.  This option is for families who want to continue to teach their children at home, but may not have the resources or time to develop lessons.  Each set of lessons will be emailed weekly and be set up in a way that you will be able to choose from a variety of activities for your child.  There will be a general “script” that you can follow daily with ideas for the beginning, prayers, songs, stories, activities, bible study, crafts, finger plays, snack time, and a closing.  If there are days that you just want to do a few activities or songs instead of the whole script… that works too!  You can select 1-2 lessons each week or choose to do all of them.  You are the teacher!  We are providing you with an outline that is full of fun and interactive learning lessons for you and your child. 

At Home Preschool Lesson Plans

• Teachers will provide child-centered “At Home Preschool” lesson plans each week.  These lessons will be easy to follow, include materials to use that you already have at home, and be based on a common theme with various play-based activities.    
• Lessons will include readiness skills such as language, writing, and reading development, number concepts, fine and gross motor skills, a variety of bible stories & lessons, STEM activities, and creative growth opportunities.
• All lesson plans will have options and guidelines that can be completed at your own pace.  These lesson plans will have many options to choose from.  Ideally, these are written for parents to work with their children 1-3 days a week.  A link to videos of teachers reading books in the lesson plan will be provided or you may read the stories with your child if you have a copy at home.
• Each set of weekly lesson plans will have various levels of skill to be adjusted for individual learning.  Parents can determine what modifications should be made for their child with some recommendations.  Targeted ages will be 2-5 years-old.
• A link to a private St. Catherine’s Preschool YouTube channel will highlight various aspects of the lessons plans.  The teacher may read stories, do virtual science experiments, teach a mini lesson, or provide additional links for extended learning. Virtual field trip videos may be of a teacher sharing her chickens; we have backyard chickens!
• The At Home Preschool lessons will be emailed in advance, giving you a chance to gather any materials you may need.  Check your email for a new and exciting set of At Home Preschool lesson plans.   You will receive detailed plans each week September through May following our preschool calendar. 
• Families can opt-in or out at any time!

The cost is $75 per month for each family.  Or $30 per week if you would like to purchase certain themes.  Payments may be made monthly; or you may opt for one payment.  You will receive a new set of awesome interactive At Home Preschool lesson plans weekly.
These At Home Preschool lessons are for your family.  If you know others who may be interested, feel free to share this email with friends and neighbors.

Thank you for your continued support and positivity as we strive to do what is best for ALL of our students, teachers, church staff, and families during these challenging times.
