"Learning at Home is the most comprehensive yet simple to use program that I know for home schooling your younger children."

"Preschool should be the time in every child's life when a deep love for learning is developed. By God's design, a delightful Christian home is the best place on earth to do that. Now Ann Ward's curriculum helps children establish the proper attitudes toward study at home while they are laying the excellent foundation in basic skills."

Ann Ward has succeeded in creating a curriculum for preschool and kindergarten children that is easy to use, flexible, and very well developed. She makes teaching easy with her step by step lessons, and learning fun with the variety of activities included. Language arts are presented in very practical yet effective ways. I especially like the way she integrates reading poetry and real books with phonics and 'language experience' activities. Her curriculum is so complete it makes me wish I had small children to homeschool!
