A time of discovery and wonder...
They run; they chatter; they often get into things that we wish they wouldn't. They are naturally inquisitive, love interacting with you, and have an intense desire to learn. We call them "little learners."
This program for 3- and 4-year-olds, is a comprehensive collection of children's classic stories, rhymes, fairy tales, picture books, games, sing-alongs, and more. It's all hand selected to fuel your children's imagination and satisfy their hunger to learn.
Heartwarming Read-Alouds and Bible stories
Reading out loud to your children is the single most important thing you can do to build pre-reading skills and prepare them academically. These timeless classics with rich illustrations provide springboards to learning. Includes 15 picture books featuring 167 stories (fiction and true) and 34 fairy and nursery tales.
Plus...games, songs and art supplies
With over 77 nursery rhymes and sing-alongs on CD, you get to have fun and help your children develop listening skills. Watch their little brains develop as your children form geometric patterns with Mighty Mind. A fun matching games builds memory and pattern recognition (the most helpful math instruction for ages 3-4 years). Quality art supplies help your children develop motor skills and express their creativity.

This is a terrific program! I did a lot of research before choosing Sonlight, and I am so glad that I decided on this. My daughter is 2 1/2, so we are easing into the program. Although we will wait a few more months on some of the material, there are several stories that have already become her favorites. When I think about all the money I was spending on other books (and no parent's guide), I realize that this program is an incredible value.

This curriculum is fantastic. We have had these books for nearly a year now and constantly revisit them. The teddy bear game and mighty mind were huge hits. Bought this for my 3 year old, but my 1 year old loves it all too. My 3 year old is advanced, I bought her some items from the next levels up since this lacked math and formal science, but the reading at this level was much more enjoyable. The literature is top notch.

Very good LIGHT preschool program. I used it for my now 4 year old when she was 2 and 3 and she enjoyed it okay. Some of the books were maybe a bit beyond her. I decided to wait to use it for my next daughter until she was the appropriate age
(3/4) and she "gets" it and loves it! It is definitely NOT what I would call school, but a great start to our family library!

My 2 and 4 year old really enjoy the P 3/4! We read through the entire thing in about 3 months! They loved the stories!! One thing I "rave" about is the construction paper! I don't know why, but it's sturdier and the color is vivid compared to other construction paper we've used! It's the little things that stand out too, huh?

My 4 year old nephew loves these books, especially loves the Tall Nursery Book and the Teddy Bear matching game. He beats me nearly every time. This core has lots of great books and Mighty Mind is great for increasing spatial abilities. I look forward to re-using it with my niece [3] this coming year.

My three year old son LOVES about half of the items in this package. The others he doesn't pay much attention to. However, even for the products that he has been interested in, it has certainly been worth the money! And who knows, maybe he'll be more interested in the rest when he's four years old...

My daughter is 2 1/2, and loves to read. She tells us she wants to read her "schoolbooks" all the time. I am so thankful that Sonlight was recommended to me. She has advanced so much! She is telling me the stories we have read in her own words. She is able to read small words, and she can tell me the sounds of most letters. She knows her letters, numbers, colors, and shapes. We are having a ball with this curriculum! When she turns three, we will be starting the 4/5 curriculum with her. Thank you so much for putting these works together for us!

My child is 3 and a half and I ordered a selection of the above materials. She loves the teddy mix & match and even beats me at it... She loves the collection of picture book classics. They are new to me as well as I did not grow up with these. I just want to mention that I think the "Our animals on Maple Hill farm" should not be classified under this age group. There are parts I had to leave out, such as birds being gruesomely killed and dogs that were put down...I won't read it again until she is at least several years older. I love the Noah's ark picture book though some of the pictures are upsetting (in the beginning) and she was quite upset about the animals standing around the ark that want to go in, but can't, and know they will drown...this part is not scriptural, either. But I really loved the last picture with the ark as the "tree on a hill", same as the cross was a tree on a hill that brought salvation to those who believe. I would say she likes the Mighty mind, though she needs some encouragement and I have to sit with her. She actually mastered all the cards which are supposed to be up to 8 years old, I would say it's definitely for younger ages and not up to 8 as it says on the box. She loves the flip/flap body book and is very interested by the content. I thought the pictures in the 101 favourite stories from the Bible are boring and old fashioned. We haven't read from it yet as it did not grab her attention. But I hope we will read from it when she is a bit older and the pictures become less important. Generally I was really happy with the order, it arrived quickly and I found the materials of high quality. We will definitely use Sonlight again in the future.

I bought this as a filler to the year while waiting for my 3yo daughter to reach formal preschool age. She is ready to learn, only her age holds her back.
She cannot get enough of this pack! If she had her way we would've finished reading everything in a month!
We've only received this pack in early April, and we're now halfway through the third trimester list!
I'm wondering whether to repeat this for the sake of my younger 1yo (can't sit still yet), or order P4/5 to start homeschooling properly and skip going to preschool next year.

I purchased this core to try and get my dyslexic oldest child interested in learning after the public school squashed that love and turned her into a little machine that will do worksheets and avoid books. First off, the day our curriculum arrived she was still at school so her sisters got to see the books first. She tried to act disinterested, but she then saw one book that caught her eye and she curled up with it to look at the pictures. Then she snuck it outside when I told her to put the book down and go ride her bike. Now, a year later, this child is 7 years old and is starting to read the stories to her little sisters (ages 6, 4, and 2 1/2) and she thanks me every day for buying this core package for our family. My family was blessed in more ways than one can imagine because of this program, and I hope that we continue to be blessed as we continue through future cores. Thanks SOnlight for creating such a wonderful program, it really has changed our family for the better and given my oldest daughter that spark for learning again.
