Someone choose a preschool curriculum for me. Secular, not too expensive, I don't know if there's anything else I care about, but making my own just.isn't.working. I don't have the time necessary to arrange it. And I'm desperate for some activities for these children before they drive me positively INSANE.

Hee hee! Look, I have a signature! -
I have a COMPLETE curriculum on a CD. I have it for both toddler's and preschoolers and it is separated into months with each month pretty much laid out for you for EVERY area.
It also includes, bonus activities and clip art sheets such as letter flashcards etc....
Trust me, it is ALOT of stuff. The curriculum company has closed up shop and is no longer in business and the dates on everything is from 2008-9 but it is re-usable every year.
Each month (and age group) is offered in 3 different but COMPLETE series.
If you are at all interested and computer savvy....maybe you could figure out how I would e-mail you all the files on the CD's.......
(I have NO clue)
Everything needs to be printed off....but I kind of liked that option because I only had to print as many or as few as I needed.
Let me know...

Mother Goose Time! They only charge per the number of children you need for and my kids absolutely love it.
Plus, from what I hear our state has more then likely approved it for our "STARS" program which is great. It already has lesson plans, all supplies, everything for that month. I don't always follow the lesson book to the T, and take their idea and make it my own.
You can order a sample month or something like that. I really like their website also and the ladies are extremely nice in the office when you call.
So one vote for MGT-

MGT is expensive.... (yes I'm whining,
). I'll consider it.
BC, that sounds interesting. I bet you could email it by attaching the entire folder? maybe? Or burn them to new discs and send them to me

It's still time consuming. But, Kidsoup and CCvillage have them online. They are inexpensive, but you still have to print things, or gather materials.

I used High Reach for one year. It's very expensive, but it was good. HOWEVER, it's not open ended. It's a cut and paste worksheet, and then the book it comes with tells you what you need to buy. I kept each unit, to revisit, but I can't say I thought it was that great, or fun. I don't feel like the kids were interested in the units.Comment

PM me your e-mail and I will see if I can send the whole file.
It is REALLY large. (1.74 GB and contains 80 folders with 1378 files)
If I can't e-mail it, I will absolutely send it snail mail. But let's try e-mail first.Comment

At the time I did it I think it was 80 dollars for 6 kids (give or take on the dollars). I broke that down to be around 13 dollars per child for the month, which broke down to like .65 cents a day (per child) or $3.90 for everyone a day. If you look at it like that, I can't buy supplies that cheap, all my ink/paper to run stuff off, my time getting it together, books to buy (one included in each order), a CD was also included per month. Newletters for parents included/sight word book/little journals/etc.
So for me .65/$3.90 a day was worth it!

I did mgt and liked it, it came with a cd with music on it and other stuff. I liked that each month you got new books too. But shipping to canada is crazy expensive. And right now my group is all under 2 yrs old, right now they are all playing with the shoes in my shoe closet and putting on winter hats that belong to my kids. they are having a blast.Comment

That still breaks down to about $1.00 a day per child or $3.00 a day for the group. Really look at it and see if you think its work that/if you can do that on your own (thats what changed my mind) and if needed maybe charge your parents a $20 curriculum fee or adjust your rates to include it. Just some ideas.
I put mine in (6) and it was $73 so the more you order the cheaper it is it looks like.Each day is a fresh start

Dropbox is another free file sharing program. Easy too!Comment

Blackcat - if you figure it out, is that something you could share with others, too? I'm not needing anything yet (as I don't have any kids) but maybe for in the future?
