THE PARENT GUIDE
The Playful Pioneers Parent Guide is your daily guide for giving your 5-12-year-old students a literature-based education. The guide will lead you through daily readings in The Little House on the Prairie series (families using the resource for a second time have a Little Britches reading plan) along with picture books designed to introduce your child to American history from Native Americans to the Age of Industry.

You will read about famous people and events of the time period including Leif Erickson, Squanto, Benjamin Franklin, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Thomas Edison, Tecumseh, and more.

As your child explores the time period, they will learn to identify geographical concepts and countries of origin for many of the U.S. settlers. The parent guide includes map work, nature study, poetry, hymns, narration, copy work prompts, science experiments, art, practical life skills, and much more.

      Loving it!

      We are on week four of Playful Pioneers Vol. 1. I love that I can tailor it to fit the needs of my kindergartener and my 3rd grader. It is wonderful being able to spend most of our school day learning and growing together as a family.

      Peaceful curriculum

      So, I had my year planned, and then I attended the Homeschool Revival Conference. I listened to the session from The Peaceful Press. I felt God's gentle nudging that I needed to change things. My word this year is "peace". I want a relaxed, peaceful homeschool. This was the perfect option, and I'm thrilled to start it this week. I can't actually comment on how it's gone since I haven't used it, but it is beautiful! I'm looking forward to a year of memories with my son, focused on the Lord, each other, and quality.

      This curriculum has changed me and my children’s life. It has opened my eyes to what is possible with my children, and removed the doubt that I had before!
      From the hymns, to incorporating the bible, to all the books and parts of history. It is just wonderful!!!
      I have tried other curriculums and they are nothing like this. It has made our day so simple and smooth.
      Thank you Peaceful Press!!
