I’m just starting out teaching my 3 year old preschool because we can’t afford to send him to one right now and I’m just wondering how many lessons or activities I should plan per day/week? I was thinking of doing it about 3 -4 days a week. Thanks for all the great info.

Hi Sarah! 3-4 days a week is plenty. There are two different ways to go about it: 1) Have some time set aside in your day for “school” where you focus on motor skills, ABCs, crafts, etc. An hour or two is plenty. 2) Seamlessly blend your learning into everyday life instead of having schooltime vs. the rest of life. Snuggle on the couch and read books. Teach through play. Let your child work alongside you in the home. Use every moment as a time to share little bits of knowledge. You can still sneak in a worksheet here & there – little kids love them!
I took route #1 with my kiddos because it was all I knew, and because it was fun to play school. I really REALLY wish I had know about choice #2. I think that route instills a love of learning in a child instead of teaching them that schoolwork is something to get done so you can move on to something fun. The old saying goes something like Begin It How You Want to End It.
The best advice I can give you is to pray for God to show you what is right for your family, and that is what I will be praying for you too.
Let me know if I can help in any way!!
