Preschool Curriculum for a Full Year: 36 Play-Based Themed Weeks

Preschool curriculum pages that map out a full, play-based learning year at home for children aged 3 to 5. You get 157 undated pages with 36 themed weeks, each built around a letter, a number, a shape and a color, plus activity ideas, weekly lesson plans and tracing and counting practice. It comes as a PDF in US Letter and A4, ready to download instantly, and nothing is shipped.

No pile of books to buy and no long evenings spent planning. Each week is waiting for you, so mornings feel calmer and your child gets steady, joyful practice.

How this preschool curriculum makes planning easy

Each themed week is already thought through. The theme page gives you questions to chat about, six new words and six activities spanning circle time, literacy, math, art, motor skills and science, along with three library book suggestions and one outing. Spend a few minutes filling in the Monday to Friday plan, then print the letter tracing sheet and the number sheet for hands-on work.

From week 1 to week 26 your child travels through the alphabet, A to Z, and the numbers 1 to 20. Weeks 27 to 36 circle back to letters and numbers so the learning sticks. Every nine weeks a progress check, together with a skills checklist, shows how far your little one has come, and a certificate at the very end makes the finish feel special.
