Walk Beside Me Preschool Schedule
I mentioned I had all the weeks planned for Nicole up until the letter “N.” Guess what? Now you do too! I’m providing you with a simple plan for the next (…counting on fingers) 14 weeks!

Here’s a few notes of explanation:
- I run our “preschool” based on a 3 day a week program, with 8 workboxes.
- I find my daughter works best if I sneak a snack (ooh, that’s fun to say) into one of the boxes too, but that’s probably because I don’t get around to doing school till almost lunchtime!
- If there are online activities or printables, I’ve included links to those. Any craft or idea that is not my own, I do not feel comfortable packaging with the curriculum! Please inform me if any of the links are broken!
- I typically begin the day with a “preschool page.” This comes from a standard preschool workbook that I tear out. You can pick them up virtually anywhere, including the dollar store!
- “Walk Beside Me” obviously refers to my curriculum. I generally schedule 9 worksheets from my curriculum in a week, though I create anywhere from 8-11 in a set. This gives me room to be a little flexible.
- The Uppercase Alphabet craft and Lowercase Alphabet craft comes from Totally Tots. I have been meaning to use my Cricut to cut all the letters out in one shebang, and prepare little craft kits to stick in her week folder. Hasn’t happened yet, but I know I need to or we’ll never do it.
- The Tracing/Cutting/Pasting activities I picked up at a great deal from Sam’s Club, but you can also order them from Amazon. These books are darling and Nicole loves them.
- BOB Books refers to the amazing early reader books that teachers praise. Again, another score from Sam’s Club (mine came with two sets for not much more than the price of one set), and Nicole is doing really well with them. We do one book a week, same book each day. When she is finished with the Beginning Set I think I will go back and repeat them at least once before moving on to the Advanced Beginning Set.
- A sensory bin is a bin of… stuff that your child can play in. In some weeks, I have listed a specific sensory bin idea or activity, others are pretty open-ended. For C is for Colors, you could put lots of colorful items in for your child to explore, perhaps with rainbow colored rice! Google sensory bin and you will come up with more than enough ideas!
- You do not have to have anything that I’ve purchased for my school to make your school work! My husband will be the first to tell you I’m addicted to school supplies! (My bank statement would verify this.) However, if you tellyour husband that you “need” this stuff to do the Walk Beside Me Preschool Curriculum–a completelyfree preschool, you might add–then I’ll back you 100%. Just send him my way! Also, if you purchase through my Walk Beside Me store, you help fund this stay at home mom project!
- I’m also not the Preschool Police, and will have no issue if you adapt to your own needs. However, if you share this without linking back to my site, or claim it as your own… then I’ll have issues. Wait, I have issues. But I will not be happy! Please don’t share the download link only, please refer back to this page.
Any questions? Any thoughts? Any ideas? Any input?
Any… anything?
Hi! I love the looks of your printable LDS preschool worksheets! I too have noticed the lack of LDS preschool curriculum available and was excited to find these! I tried downloading the schedule you have, but it downloads the C bundle instead… I’d love to see the schedule! Hope all is going well and I look forward to using these this year for my preschoolers.
Chels,
Thank you so much for letting me know. It’s readers like you that help me run this site because without people like you, all I’ve got is Diet Coke and an overworked brain!! I’ve updated the link, and double checked it, so we should be good now. Thank you!
No problem! I have to tell you I’m so excited to use these printables! We printed off A a couple days ago and put them in page protectors, I bought some expo markers and we passed them around and around the table each of my boys taking a turn with each printable. They loved it and flew through all of them… mostly because my almost 4 yr old twins love to do anything their almost 6 yr old brother does. Thank you for putting the time and effort into this project!
Thank you for ALL your hard work! My friends and I have really enjoyed reading your blog and printing out your AWESOME curriculum. I do have a question though, are you planning on doing anything past the letter N?
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying the curriculum. To answer your question: YES, definitely doing more! In fact, they are in the works. When I moved my blog over to confessionsofaslackermom.com from blogspot, I currently had *finished* up through N. I’m working on O-Z now. I will continue to post them once a week, it’s just easier for me to do a bunch at a time rather than remember to create a packet each week. I hope this answers your question!
I love your site and can’t wait to print some off and do them with my daughter! Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this with me!
Welcome! Thanks for your kind words. I’m SO happy to share them with you!
I don’t even know how I stopped up here, but I assumed this put up was once great. I don’t realize who you might be however certainly you are going to a well-known blogger in case you aren’t already. Cheers!
I LOVE You! Ok so I just love that you are so stinking talented, creative and generous. Finding you on Pinterest today was a huge blessing. I have been searching for some preschool for my 3 year old and to find yours that incoperates our faith is a wonderful suprise. Thank you for all that you create and share! I am sure to be back often.
Is Pinterest not amazing?! I’m so happy that it helped you find ME! And thank you for your sweet comment, you made my day!

Thanks for doing this! I need some structure in my 3.5 and 2.5 year olds lives! Do you have more of the Articles of Faith picture reads?
I learned how to read using the Bob books, and I love them. They are short enough that kids aren’t overwhelmed, and they can actually brag that they read a whole book! Also, if you have a very pre-reader, like my two year old, the Bob books have come out with letter books to kick everything off!
I love this site, I so glad someone pinned it. I will definitely be using a lot of stuff from here.

Hello! You have no idea how happy I was to be directed to your website. I have been searching for months for some LDS based curriculum. My almost 4 year old knows his letters and sounds, but doesn’t know how to write them yet. I want to teach him how to read and have no idea where to start. Does this curriculum start teaching how to read?? Thank you soooo much!
