Have you ever thought about opening your own preschool. You will do well.
Congratulations on your bouncing baby boy.
Hi, Janelle! No, I haven’t thought about opening my own preschool… I kind of already have one, but I just have one or two students at a time. 🙂 I like my free schedule, and I always have a toddler and/or baby, so I don’t know how I would manage an in home preschool. Maybe some day when my kids are bigger I can host a Mother’s Day Out or something… but for now I like to use every spare moment to blog!
how old are you kids? how do you find time to blog? do you use a virtual assistant?
Hi Normel,
My kids are 3 months, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. I actually wrote a post about how I find time to blog: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/how-i-find-time-to-blog/
My sister is my VA, but she only works 5 hours a week for me.

Anna,
Do you have any activities that work for a Valentines Day Party for a Preschool Classroom?
No, I’m sorry, Meridith, but you might find things on my Valentine’s Day PInterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/themeasuredmom/valentine-s-day/
I’m impressed by your site. It’s so comprehensive! I am homeschooling my second child (3-year-old) since we don’t have money to send him to a preschool right now. I’m a high school teacher by profession, so this is a new world to me. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Mary! I’m so glad you found my site – I hope you find many things here you can use! I’ve enjoyed “homeschooling” my kids for preschool. They’re such eager little learners!
Anna,
Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope you have a great Mother’s Day, you really have a full house. You are very blessed with gifts and talents from God,also remember each of your children are a gift from God.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of the great educational materials you make.
Thanks again,
martha
Thank you, Martha, we had a beautifu day!
Do you have a recommendation for how long each pack should take to teach? And how much time to spend each day on the activities? I home school preschool my three boys all under age 4 and I have trouble getting them to sit still and listen or do an activity for longer than 15 minutes at a stretch. Everything I do is hands – on and most of it involves manipulatives but it always seems they would rather play 🙁
Great question, Sarah! First I should say that each pack contains WAY more activities than any one teacher or parent would have time to do. The bundles are typically 200-300 pages of activities so that you can choose the ones that are best for your learner. You can easily do some one year and then others the following year. So instead of saying how long the bundle takes, I can say how much time I recommend you spend. If you’re homeschooling for preschool, it varies by the child’s age and development. Since your boys are under 4, 15 minutes is actually just about right. I know that can feel frustrating, but it’s quite normal. You could try two sessions per day so that you get a total of 30 minutes. And sometimes you may find that one or more of your boys is game for more activities. I suggest overplanning for each day with 3-4 activities, and bump the ones you don’t get to to the following day.
You can also read books recommended in the pack for part of the day and then do activities for another part. I would say that 3-4 weeks on a theme is a good amount of time to spend, but you can certainly go longer if your boys are still interested.
I hope this helps!
You should have received an email with links, Wanda. If you didn’t receive it, please send me an email and we’ll get it straightened out! It’s anna(at)themeasuredmom(dot)com.
I just discovered your blog. I am a SAHM and we are homeschooling my 2 and 3 year olds. I just wanted to say that I really love what you are doing here and I am so happy to find your site!
Yay – I’m so glad you found me, Kimberly! I hope you find many helpful resources here.
Dear Anna,
I have recently found your website whilst preparing activities for my KG classroom. I am so impressed by the amount of resources you have and the quality. Excellent fun for small hands!
Also, hats off to you with your growing family, I have 5 children 10, 7, 5 and 2 month twins! and it is a struggle to sit down for 5 minutes sometimes! Thanks so much for all of your efforts
Hi Debbie! Wow – 2 month old twins! I hope they are sleeping at least a little for you. I can imagine you feel like you’re a in a fog a lot of the time! Thankfully your oldest children are big enough to help out. I’m sure they love having two sweet babies! You’re definitely a busy mom and teacher – I hope you find some resources here to save you some time and energy!
hi Anna, my name is Millie all the way from Nigeria. your resources have indeed been a lifesaver…i run a creche / preschool called Bumblebeez Early Care and downloading and printing your cards have really helped me…thank you….especially the free printables, you’re doing such a great job. thank you for being an inspiration. God bless you.
Thank you for introducing yourself, Millie, and I’m so glad you’re finding resources here to help your students!
Hello, Anna
I’ll try not to copy everyone else’s posts but my students have benefited tremendously from the support you’re able to provide teachers through materials and suggested activities. Until now I’ve only used the free materials but I’d like to purchase more.
I have poked around the sight and can’t seem to find anything like a bundle. Are there any? I love the emergent readers from all categories and would like most/all of them but I think I would also like to buy all of the themes and make a yearly plan for my students using the materials.
Do you have any suggestion for using the site’s materials? Or, would I be individually purchasing each file?
Thank you for your time!

You’re very welcome, Reham!
I am coming out of retirement to teach a small 3/4 year old class in a brand new room. I am used to PreK… so down scaling ideas. Not sure about the science area. Hoping to find new ideas for this new venture. (2 days a week- 3 hours.)
I do have quite a few ideas in my theme packs, Robert! 🙂
HI, I am trying to purchase the community helpers theme but the link does not work. Help 🙂
Never mind I figured it out!
Great! 🙂
Hello I enjoy your blog so much I am on my second year of homeschooling my daughter is heading into 1st grade is there any learning activity bins for free time?
HI Brittany! I don’t have anything like that here, but if you search for “morning bins” or “morning tubs” on Pinterest, I think you’ll find some ideas that would work!
