The 1 Year Curriculum, 3rd Edition gives adults the confidence and tools to teach a toddler through simple, intentional, play-based learning. With upgraded clarity, minimal prep, and flexible activities for home or preschool, this Curriculum helps adults feel equipped while giving a child a strong foundation in early academics, Bible learning, and development.

Academic Learning
Academically, the 1 Year Curriculum introduces learning through hands-on, play-based activities that match a toddler's development. The Curriculum explores:

  • Colors, shapes, and animals
  • Foundational vocabulary and traditional poems
  • Quality, classical books that build language and imagination

Bible Learning

Gently introduce biblical truth at a toddler’s level with:

  • Popular Bible stories taught through a simple ABC theme
  • Songs and fingerplays that support each story
  • Character traits and Scriptures to pray over the child
  • Interactive Bible Stories that keep learning active and engaging

Developmental Learning

Development is woven into every lesson with:

  • Early self-care training
  • Process-focused, age-appropriate crafts
  • Basic sign language to support communication
  • Weekly fine-motor, gross-motor, and sensory activities

"ABCJesusLovesMe is a truly comprehensive curriculum. It should satisfy those who want to provide a structured learning for their little ones. It should also be useful to those who want to pick and choose ideas without using the complete curriculum. The Christian base of the curriculum makes it an excellent option for Christian preschools as well as families who want to build a faith-based foundation...."   ...Cathy Duffy of CathyDuffyReviews.com
