I home school and my daughter is 6.  She loves the illustrations and the fun manner in which the stories are written.  I like the thoroughness of the theme and the way it provided a starting topic for a thorough discussion.  We have just reviewed it and read most of it together and are looking forward to completing all the activities.  VERY age appropriate.  Thank you            Patricia

I absolutly loved your little booklets and my children enjoyed me reading my copy to them during circle time then giving them one of their own to color and then make into thier own little booklets.  I will be becoming a member as soon as I can!!!    Amy Hayes

The planning is really complete and you really cant' go wrong with KinderPlan. The teacher's prepping time is reduced, as much as the headache trying to find the right activities.  Giovana Samara

I am homeschooling 2 preschoolers and have found this website a godsend!  Patricia Roche

It gave me extra ideas to incorporate into my September lesson plans. I like the idea of starting out with the friendship and family unit. This will help bond the classmates from the beginning. The letter F is the first letter I start with using Handwriting Without Tears program. So that was nice  Kristin Ricciardelli

I just followed a link to your  website and downloaded the free unit.  I teach a multi-grade class in a remote fly-in northern community and rely on the internet for resources.  I'm thrilled to discover your very thorough lesson plans. I will be implementing several of the ideas in class tomorrow. S. Hanson

Dear Elaine,

Let me introduce myself  before giving the feedback. I am a curriculum planner and teachers trainer for kindergarten section And Cambridge international school. So you can imagine yourself the amount of help I m getting from your site. The content and activities of friendship unit theme seems to be exactly what I was  looking for and interesting thing is that the theme can be used for both nursery and lower KG with little bit of modification. The jiggle worm story is a combination of fun and knowledge. And the activities will be enhancing their kinesthetic, visual and spatial skills. Telling them about friends at this primary stage was very necessary and  I was planning the most effective way to do that. Your theme helped a lot regarding in it.

Sorry I haven't responded before.  I just wanted to take the time to commend you for providing such an excellent resource for teachers--especially, Early Childhood/Kindergarten teachers who are interested in providing activities/classroom experiences which are developmentally appropriate and which look at the "big picture" in child development and developmentally approriate learning.  All areas of the curriculum are addressed in such detail and in such fun ways.  Their is no work really for me to do.  The lesson plans are already there and have saved me so much prep time.  The centers ideas are really wonderful.  What I am in the process of doing is taking each theme plan and linking my own provincial learning outcomes to all of the areas.  I'm hoping that when I begin school next September, I will have accumulated a wonderful file of theme plans that will correspond to my year plan and the outcomes on my report card.  Because I have so many children in my class that are language delayed in many different areas, I am able to accommodate their needs very well.  Adaptations are so simple.  Inclusiveness is not a problem.  I feel so fortunate to have come across your website and am sharing ideas with my other school colleagues.  I just noticed the blog that goes with your website and was very excited to find even more resources and ideas.

Thanks so much.

They are the most wonderful products available. I belong to many web sites, but for the kindergarten ones that are right on target for what I need this is the greatest. Having all these resources saves me so much time   Linda Hayes
