Preschool Lesson Plans

Preschool lesson plans blog began when I realized how much my 3 year old daughter Olihvia LOVES learning. The preschool age may seem to be an inconsequential part of a child’s development, full of only imagination and play, but in fact their little brains are like a sponge retaining vast amounts of information.

From birth through to about five years of age is a vast learning time. Children in this age group will easily soak up new languages, engage in new cultural activities and appreciate all that these new sights and sounds bring them. These important years are a good opportunity to introduce new concepts. Preschool lesson plans are a good way to make sure you’ve covered as many grounds as possible. If you give your child an opportunity to learn then he will learn -whether that be at home or in a preschool. It is very important to always give your child enriching opportunities.

I am a mother of a 3 year old, and a piano teacher. I find Olihvia is just soaking up every learning opportunity presented to her. I give her piano lessons catered at a preschool level. She is learning, a lot, and is enjoying playing the piano.

In the beginning, I was surprised at how much she is retaining – and how long she remembers the facts (as sometimes the piano gets left to the wayside especially in the summer.) I also teach other children her age and the same is true with them. They too retain the information I am giving them and playing songs. Their mothers are wowed out as well.

I find it’s important to have a preschool curriculum or lesson plan to go by, whether it’s at a daycare, a preschool group, or at home.

Preschool lesson plans are a good idea especially if you need a specific subject like preschool art lesson plans, or social studies lesson plans. Because, let’s face it, where do we possibly begin to plan our lessons? This is especially true if we don’t want to spend a ton of money?

Take preschool math or preschool science for example. Once they know their numbers and counting, how do you go on from there? Preschool lesson plans are a good way to cover all the bases on a particular subject.

Preschool themes are also a neat idea and kind of fun – especially if you find preschool bulletin boards to match the theme. Sometimes children can be interested in certain subjects for a long time. Take dinosaurs for example, or princesses. If you had a theme around those subjects you could incorporate their interests into their lesson plans.

There are many web sites where you can find a variety of preschool lesson plans and activities.. There are even preschool songs sites that teach you action songs.

With my active 3 year old, I find it handy to have a reference manual of preschool lesson planning readily available. That way, I don’t have to go through websites to find pages and ideas, and I can spend more time doing what I love – filling up my daughter’s insatiable appetite for learning.

Happy Preschool lesson planning!!!
