Preschool Curriculum

Hubbard’s Cupboard - We used the two year old curriculum last year and loved it.  The three year old curriculum has 38 weekly lessons (letters of the alphabet plus holidays).

The curriculum listed above is just the basics.  All of our children will be learning lifelong skills such as: hunting, fishing, trapping, wood working, car maintenance, gardening, food preservation, cooking, cleaning, and caring for others.
