Get Ready for Kindergarten Using Materials You Already Have!
Yesterday, I tried to encourage Henry to sit down and help me finish the ABC worksheet I had printed out.
He acted like I was going to glue him to the chair!
It wasn't fun for him, but I want him to be ready for Kindergarten.
Have you ever felt this way? Like no matter what you do, your kids don't want to learn?
There is another way! Teach your kids (ages 2-5) through play using items you already have!
What if your child could learn Kindergarten Readiness Skills by playing with things you already have at home with less than 5 minutes of prep time?
It's exhausting scouring Pinterest for hours to find that perfect activity. Then emptying your wallet at the craft store on materials you have never seen before, only to have your child take one look and walk away. Worksheets only keep your child's attention for short periods of time.
As an Early Childhood Educator, I want your child to have fun learning in the most stress-free way possible.... printer-free and with minimal prep.
Your kids will have the time of their lives learning through:
* Cooking
* Music
* Art
* Movement Activities
* Science Experiments
* Letter Activities
* Sensory Play
... and so much More!
When you play with your child, they learning new skills while strengthening your relationship and creating lifelong memories!

Hi! I'm Jeana Kinne, author of the Prek-YOUR Way series!
My goal is for all children to have access to quality learning opportunities that support academic, social and emotional development through PLAY!
As a veteran preschool teacher and director, with over 19 years of experience in the Early Childhood Education field, I know how crazy life can get when we are developing curriculum, paying attention to our children and taking care of their health and safety. I learned how using everyday items and a playful attitude can make a fun, engaging and productive preschool day, taking out the stress of teaching!
After receiving my Bachelors Degree is in Child Development and Masters Degree is in Early Childhood Education, I fell in love with creating new activities based off of the children's interests. Once completed, I wanted to share them with you! I hope these simple activities will show you how kids learn with everything and inspire you to create even more!
After spending 9 years as a Preschool Teacher and Director, 5 years as a Preschool Consultant, another 5 years working with infants and toddlers with special needs, my mission is to take the stress out of teaching and put the FUN back into it!
OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS
Breath of Fresh Air!
"My 2 1/2 year old is into anything and everything and has a hard time staying focused. The curriculum is perfect for my busy toddler because most activities last no more than 15-20 minutes.
All the materials are items we have on hand, so there's no need to make a special shopping trip.
The activities keep my son engaged, have helped him learn, and best of all, he thinks we're just having play time!
I would definitely recommend the curriculum to any parent wanting to strengthen their kids knowledge and have great time while doing so."
- Nancy (Mother of a 2 1/2 year old)

A Simple and Engaging Way to Learn Kindergarten Skills!
"My daughter and I had so much fun completing all the lessons! While painting, building, drawing, and jumping, she learned about colors shapes, numbers, and letters.
The Pre-K YOUR Way curriculum is a great way to prepare your child for kindergarten! The lessons are easy to follow and can be completed in 15 to 20 minutes.
My daughter learned so much while playing and having fun. She loved discovering new colors with paint, building her very own tent, and learning the letters in her name with jello.
The alphabet review activities at the end of the module were a great way to practice all of the letters. I highly recommend JDEducational to anyone who is looking for a way to prepare their child for kindergarten."
