Horizons Preschool Complete Curriculum Set

Description

Nurture your precious preschooler’s mind, heart, and soul with the Horizons Preschool Complete Curriculum Set from Alpha Omega Publications, a comprehensive biblical foundation that transforms early learning into a joyful journey of discovery and faith. This thoughtfully designed program provides everything homeschooling families need to give their children an exceptional Christian education that prepares them academically, spiritually, and emotionally for kindergarten and beyond.

The power of early childhood spiritual formation cannot be overstated. Research consistently shows that a child’s spiritual foundation and worldview are primarily developed within their first six years of life. Christian educators recognize that children as young as three years old can learn essential character traits, manage their emotions through prayer and biblical principles, and develop empathy through exposure to Bible stories. This Horizons curriculum harnesses these crucial early years to plant seeds of faith that will grow throughout your child’s lifetime.

Built on proven spiral learning methodology, this curriculum introduces concepts at an age-appropriate level and revisits them with increasing complexity throughout the year. The spiral approach, originally developed by educational psychologist Jerome Bruner, ensures that children retain information better while building upon previous knowledge. Each topic is reinforced through multiple learning modalities, creating strong neural pathways that support both academic achievement and spiritual understanding. This method allows complex biblical truths to be introduced simply and expanded upon as your child’s comprehension grows.

Your complete curriculum set includes everything needed for a full year of engaging education: two colorful student workbooks containing 180 captivating lessons, comprehensive teacher’s guides with detailed instruction and flexible scheduling, and a resource packet filled with manipulatives and reproducible activities. Each component works together seamlessly to create a rich learning environment where academic excellence meets biblical truth.

The 180 carefully crafted lessons cover all essential preschool subjects from a distinctly Christian perspective. Social studies lessons explore God’s world and our place in His creation, while language arts activities develop communication skills through Bible stories and Christian literature. Mathematics concepts are taught using concrete examples from God’s creation, helping children see the order and beauty of His design. Science lessons spark curiosity about the natural world while pointing to the Creator behind every wonder. Phonics instruction builds reading readiness using scripture verses and Christian songs, creating positive associations with God’s Word from the very beginning.

What sets this curriculum apart is its seamless integration of faith and learning. Rather than simply adding a Bible lesson to secular content, every subject is infused with biblical principles and Christian values. Character development flows naturally through stories of biblical heroes, art projects that celebrate God’s creation, and music that lifts hearts in praise. Children learn about kindness through the parable of the Good Samaritan, explore patterns in mathematics through the beauty of creation, and develop fine motor skills while creating crafts that celebrate God’s love.

The hands-on activities throughout the curriculum engage multiple senses and learning styles, ensuring every child can connect with the material. Arts and crafts projects reinforce lesson themes while developing creativity and fine motor skills. Music activities include Christian songs that teach biblical truths while supporting language development and memory formation. Story times feature beloved Bible characters and Christian values, building listening skills and spiritual understanding. Outdoor excursions connect classroom learning with real-world experiences, encouraging children to see God’s hand in everyday life.

For homeschooling families, the comprehensive teacher’s guides provide confidence and structure without overwhelming preparation requirements. Weekly supply lists keep you organized, while step-by-step lesson guidance ensures successful teaching even for parents new to homeschooling. Daily objectives clearly outline learning goals, and suggested weekly schedules offer flexibility to adapt to your family’s unique rhythm. Reading lists provide additional resources to extend learning, while assessment tools help you track your child’s progress.

The reproducible resource materials in the curriculum add tremendous value for families. Brightly illustrated worksheets encourage children to color, glue, draw, fold, trace, paint, and cut their way to learning. These hands-on activities reinforce foundational concepts while developing the fine motor skills essential for future writing success. Because they’re reproducible, you can use them with multiple children or repeat favorite activities as needed.

Character development lies at the heart of this curriculum, with biblical virtues woven throughout every lesson. Children learn about honesty through the story of young George Washington, practice kindness through service projects, and develop self-control through structured routines and clear expectations. The curriculum presents role models who demonstrate Christian character, helping children understand what it means to live like Jesus in practical, age-appropriate ways.

Parents consistently praise the quality and effectiveness of the Horizons approach. Many report that their children exceed academic expectations while developing strong moral foundations and genuine love for learning. The spiral methodology ensures concepts are truly mastered, while the biblical integration creates natural opportunities for spiritual conversations and family devotions.

The Horizons Preschool Complete Curriculum Set represents more than an educational program; it’s an investment in your child’s eternal future. By choosing this comprehensive Christian curriculum, you’re providing your preschooler with academic excellence rooted in biblical truth, creating a foundation that will serve them throughout their educational journey and beyond.
