We all have busy lives, yet we want the most productive preschool activities for our children with as little fuss as possible.

As an experienced homeschooling mom and teacher of five children (aged from teen to tiny 'tot') my aim is to show you convenient, easy, no mess, no fuss, user-friendly preschool activities so that you can use your time effectively.

As a curriculum author, publisher and teaching advisor, I often hear the struggles that other women face and my purpose is to put the ideas and activities that you need at your fingertips!



Join the preschool-activities-at-home egroup, where we can share our experiences of teaching and raising preschoolers. It's a place to come and chat, ask questions, offer tips and advice and enjoy the ups and downs of life with little ones.

Activities for Healthy Preschool Children’s Brain Development

In my reading and personal research on early childhood development, I have discovered a wealth of activities that are easy-to-do and beneficial to your preschool children’s development as well as information and resources that will build your confidence and make you a more knowledgeable parent or teacher.

Most preschool activity sites only offer you free printable preschool worksheets and children’s art and crafts which focus on developing and stimulating just one aspect of a child’s brain, namely, fine motor skills.

On this site and particularly in my free ezine, The Whole Child I offer you many more types of preschool activities to ensure the healthy all-round brain development of children and school readiness skills:

• Activities to stimulate gross motor skills (the large muscle groups) and co-ordination.

Preschool songs, nursery rhymes and music appreciation to develop auditory perception.

• Activities to develop visual perception which are important for reading.

• Activities to develop numeracy and mathematical concepts.

• Linguistic activities to develop language skills

• Children’s bible lessons and faith building activities


Encouragement

I also know, from experience, that being alone with children all day can be demanding at times – we all need stimulating ideas and encouragement, whether we are mom-teachers or professional teachers and so I hope that by sharing my joys and struggles in the Homeschool Help pages, that I will lift you above the level of dirty finger marks and spilt milk and give you the motivation and inspiration you need to teach and train your children well.
