Free preschool curriculum you can use at home, and what you still plan

Published 2026-10-16 · Updated 2026-10-16

Yes. A free preschool curriculum you can use at home is available today in three shapes: a daily online course, a printable worksheet year, and single free printables you assemble yourself. A fourth free file is one sample week of a paid year, useful as a trial, not as the whole year. Every one of them still leaves printing, gathering, or the rest of the week on you.

Rank one, rank two, and rank three stayed closed: a captcha, a forum challenge page, and a pin board. The pages that did open are enough to compare real options. Rank four, a free-filter shop page, also stayed closed. What follows is only what those open pages say.

Three free paths, and the work they leave you

Free path	What you open	What you still do	Stronger when
Online daily course	Easy Peasy preschool lessons	Guide the child, print marked pages or buy a workbook, add a library book or a walk if you want them in the day	A screen lesson at no charge fits the morning
Printable worksheet year	Little House pre-K worksheets	Print the pages, read aloud, choose extra play from the lists	You want paper for reading and math and can pick the rest
Single printables	PreKinders free activities	Choose the skill, print one page, invent the week's order	You want one activity, not a year map
One sample week	A week file from a paid printable year	Print that week only, then decide if you want the rest	You want to try a sequenced week before you pay

Easy Peasy's preschool course is a free online Christian homeschool sequence. The page says preschool is mainly meant to prepare students as readers, and that it also does counting, shapes, colors, and crafts for small-motor practice. It recommends the course at age four. If a four-year-old is not yet following the work, the page says to wait six months and try again. You are allowed to move at your own pace, and the page says it is intended that you complete one lesson a day. A note on a late lesson says the course is now 180 days. A parent or older sibling is expected to guide the child. Lessons marked with an asterisk have something to print, found in a 100+ page packet or a 190-page printables workbook, which you can print or buy so the printer stays off. Lesson steps include adapted Bible verses and short animal alphabet stories. The first lesson says a laptop, Chromebook, or desktop is needed for part of the work, because some links send a phone to a paid app.

That path is stronger when the plan itself must cost nothing, scripture in the lesson is welcome, and you can sit beside a screen for one lesson. You still print the marked pages or buy the workbook, and you still add outdoor play, library books, and any science or music the day's lesson skips past.

Little House Kindergarten offers a completely free full-year (180-day) plan for kindergarten and pre-K, with 180 days of English Language Arts and Mathematics worksheets and a screen-free option. The page says to print the worksheets, and that you can access them for free or through a give-what-you-can PDF. Its FAQ puts about one hour a day on direct instruction, then play. A Cathy Duffy review reprinted on the page calls the program free and secular, laid out as five PDF books, with the daily guide centered on a math worksheet, a language-arts worksheet, and a read-aloud, while activity lists are for the parent to choose. The page also says finishing the program prepares a child for first grade. Keep that as their sentence. A free file is not a guarantee of a later classroom.

Little House is stronger when you want secular paper worksheets, a screen-free day, and you will choose books and play yourself. You still own the printer, the read-aloud, and any subject outside those two worksheets.

PreKinders offers hundreds of preschool teaching printables and a button to browse free preschool printables. The site says printables are for personal, non-commercial use only. The homepage is organized by learning areas such as literacy, math, science, art, music, and fine motor, not as a dated year. It is stronger when you want one free page for tomorrow and you are willing to decide the order yourself. It is a weaker match when you want someone else to have already chosen Monday through Friday.

Is Easy Peasy a full curriculum?

Parents ask this because "free" and "full" get mixed together. On the preschool page, Easy Peasy is a full-length daily course: one lesson a day across 180 days, with a parent beside the child. The same page says the course is mainly for becoming a reader, plus counting and a few basics. NAEYC's curriculum statement describes a written plan that gives attention across domains of physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive development, and across subject areas including language, literacy, mathematics, social studies, science, art, music, physical education, and health. Play is named as a central part of that plan.

So "full" depends on the question. If you mean a daily sequence long enough for a school year, the preschool page says yes, 180 days. If you mean every subject NAEYC lists already written into each lesson, the page's own opening is narrower, and you add the rest. Bible verses are part of the lessons, which some families want in a full day and some families do not. That is a content choice, not a quality score.

A four-year-old is the age the Easy Peasy page recommends. A younger child can still use a free printable or a shorter shared game. The CDC page on milestones at four years is a list of things many children do by that birthday, for a talk with a doctor if you are worried. It is not an entrance test for a free curriculum, and it is not a list of skills a home week must produce.

A sample is free, and the year may not be

Playing Preschool's homepage is not a free year. It is a homeschool preschool ebook you buy. The page says each year is broken into 19 units and packs 190 days of lessons, combining reading, math, science, and art, and that you may begin at any time. It also links a free preschool curriculum sample. The sample is the free part. The sequenced year is the paid part. That split is useful: try the sample if you want to see a play-based day, and treat the buy button as a different decision.

Our own free file works the same way, as a trial of one week rather than a giveaway of the year. The Week one sample is a week guide, a print-and-gather list, and activity pages for one week at the table: a letter, a count of an empty set, a circle and the color red, a sort, and a pretend meal with cups and spoons. An adult cuts or supervises scissors. You can do that week and stop. It is not the rest of the year.

If that week is the shape you wanted, Home Preschool Year: Preschool, ages 3 to 5 is the paid download of the full set: a Start Here guide, a Year Map of all 36 weeks, and 36 week files: a week guide with Day 1 to Day 5 steps, an easier option each day, a print-and-gather list, and 7 activity pages, plus 180 numbered lessons, undated. It is print-only, delivered as an instant download after checkout, one ZIP with separate US Letter and A4 PDFs, and nothing is shipped. For use by one family. Automation made these files, and automated tests checked them. A teacher did not write or review the set.

A family can stop after the free week and keep using the Easy Peasy course, the Little House worksheets, and single printables. The honest limit: free removes the price of the plan, not the work of sitting down, printing, or choosing tomorrow's page.

Where to go next: the decision table in home pre-k curriculum if you are comparing paid and free types, preschool lesson plans if you want the shape of one day, and activities for four-year-olds if you would rather start from a single game than from a year file.

An illustrative free morning

This morning is illustrative. It is one way to use a free page, not a result to expect.

Open one Easy Peasy lesson or one Little House worksheet, not both. Sit where you can see the screen or the paper. Do the letter or the count the page asks for, then close it. Read any picture book you already own about food or animals. Sort three spoons and three cups into two piles if you want a hands-on extra, or skip that and go outside. Write down only what you did, so tomorrow you know where you stopped. If the child walks away, stop. A free plan you abandon after ten minutes is still information: that format was too long for today.

The closed results were not read

Pinterest, a forum thread, and a school blog were the first results, and each capture stayed closed. Their contents are unassessed. The publishers that did open are Easy Peasy, Little House, PreKinders, and Playing Preschool. Start with one of those pages, do one week, and keep the path that matches your printer, your screen rules, and the subjects you are willing to add yourself.
