The Gentle + Classical Preschool

Does any of this resonate with you?

Do you want a preschool experience that's natural, intuitive, child-honoring, and gentle?
Do you want guided structure that doesn't give you an overwhelming task list each day, leading you to constantly feel "behind" or like you're failing?
Are you looking for a curriculum that integrates easily into your already busy day with minimal daily prep?
Is a strong foundation in Christ important to your family?

The Gentle + Classical Preschool was created by a busy mama of 4 (teens down to toddlers) who wanted what was good, beautiful, and significant without spending hours on Pinterest, creating meaningless "make and toss crafts," all while honoring her kids right where they were and writing beautiful, Godly TRUTH on their hearts from an early age.

2) Save MONEY! The digital bundle, if purchased individually, would cost almost $100. The normal price of $34.99 is a great value, and the Physical Delivery bundle price is a 36% savings!

3) Save SANITY! You have so much to do already. With the bundle, you'll receive a supply list, book list, and pre-planned weeks. You'll simply need to follow the checklists to stock up, pull out a few items each week, and follow the detailed schedule. It's that easy!

4) Save STRESS! A program that completely honors your child's unique developmental stages and their unique personhood while encouraging YOU each week brings the PEACE to home education that you've been craving. This is a Jesus-first, heart-first, family-first, childhood-honoring program. While the Teacher's Guide will give you the basic foundation, the Bundle makes implementation clearer and easier.

I'm a wife of 20+ years to my elementary school sweetheart. Together, we parent 4 children, ages adult to elementary.

We've been homeschooling for well over a decade, and though it's challenging, it's the best thing we do. My heart's desire, above all things, is to leave a legacy of Jesus-crazy with my babies... that they would pursue Him above all else and reap the rewards of the abundant life we have available in Christ. We blend Charlotte Mason philosophies with the Classical tradition with random seasons of unschooling and unit studies thrown in. We truly believe that “education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.”

I'm so happy you've found our home at The Gentle + Classical Press. It's our hearts' desire that you be abundantly blessed by the free and affordable resources that we provide you with. Enjoy and welcome!
