Curriculum
When it comes to curriculum, you literally have hundreds of options to choose from. This can be quite overwhelming, especially when you are starting out. So, my hope is that the below categories can help you navigate the myriad of choices and find what works well for you and your kiddos!
Remember, there is no perfect curriculum, so don’t let perfect get in the way of better.
