Craving structure during your child's early years? 

Does the age of six seem like a long time to wait until formal lessons? 

I've been there! Five years ago,  I had an eager child who just wanted to learn, but I felt uncomfortable holding her back simply to fulfill a Charlotte Mason ideal. On the other hand, I wanted to preserve her childhood for as long as I could. 

I was torn.

That was two preschoolers ago, and over time, I learned some important ideas:

A life of ideas doesn't have to wait until your child is 6.

I created Idea Nest as an alternative to traditional preschool curriculum, that gives you a way to present beautiful ideas to your young child. 

Idea Nest

The Idea Nest is a year-long early years guide determined to offer ideas to your child. Each month focuses on a habit, a Bible story, and a big idea, from nature or literature. You'll find book suggestions each month, as well as a hymn, memory verse, play ideas, and science explorations. 

Give structure to your days by using some aspects as part of your morning time. Read a book, look at the art selection, read a poem, read the Bible story, and listen to the hymn. The rest of your day can include play, exploration, and learning about nature. 

Inside, you'll find- 

• 90+ pages of inspiration
• Habit training ideas
• Suggestions for building life skills
• Carefully curated book lists
• Bible stories and memory verses that are related to the habit
• An idea from nature or literature to explore
• A hymn each month
• Play suggestions that take little preparation
• Crafts and handicrafts that will make creative toys or lovely decorations
• A monthly art selection
• Folk songs, nursery rhymes, and classical music pieces to listen to
