Blossom & Root Level 0 works through a consistent weekly rhythm that blends structured guidance with open-ended exploration. Each week, the parent or caregiver uses the parent guide to walk through themed lessons across core areas: nature study, art, music, science, early math, language arts, and personal history (“The Story of Me”). The caregiver reads aloud from suggested books, guides gentle narration and journaling, and facilitates simple hands-on projects using common household or outdoor materials. Language arts includes exposure to letter sounds, story retelling, and copywork, while math lessons center on play-based concepts like counting, patterns, and spatial reasoning. Science topics are introduced through imaginative themes like space or anatomy, with short, flexible experiments and notebooking prompts. Picture and composer studies are once per week and often paired with simple discussion or art activities. The curriculum is entirely PDF-based, so each week you print a few pages for your child’s notebook, glance at the weekly supply list, and choose which suggested activities best match your child’s interests and energy—making it easy to adapt to any homeschool routine.

• Parents who need a secular curriculum for their child
• Parents who want their child’s year to be filled with exposure to the arts, nature, science, and quality children’s literature
• Parents who need a curriculum that gently introduces early academic foundations in a developmentally appropriate way and moves at their child’s own unique pace
• Busy parents who need a program with minimal prep time each week (about half an hour)
• Parents on a budget that cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a boxed curriculum package
• Parents who want their child’s homeschooling experience to be beautiful, rich, and full of delight
• Parents with hands-on learners

• Parents who need a curriculum that includes Bible study or a religious perspective
• Parents who want a curriculum that their child can do completely independently (Our curriculum requires 1.5 - 2 hours a day, 4 to 5 days a week, of focused time together)
• Parents who prefer workbooks to hands-on activities
• Parents who want an online school experience for their child
• Parents who need an academic program for their child that mirrors what is being taught in brick-and-mortar schools
• Parents who need every supply, book, and material for their year included in their purchase (Our curriculum is designed to use a few basic art supplies, typical household items, and many books that can be found at a library or for purchase used)

A typical week in our curriculum will require around 30 to 45 minutes to prepare for. We suggest looking at the book and supply lists in the parent guide as soon as possible and collecting your materials before the school year begins. Books can be ordered online, found in used bookstores, or borrowed from the library.

Your child should recognize most of their letters and be familiar with most of the sounds they make by the time you begin. You will gently review these concepts in the curriculum, but it helps if your child already has that foundation before beginning. If your child is still learning the letters and letter sounds, we recommend beginning with Early Years Vol. 2 first.

It does help if your child can match quantities to numerals and numerals to quantities up to 10, and if they're able to orally count up to 10 before beginning. They should also be familiar with some basic shapes (triangle, rectangle, circle, etc.)

Most of our lessons can be divided up into about one to two hours of focused time together, five days a week. Our lessons are short, most of them around ten to thirty minutes long. We want your child to have LOTS of time for free play and outside time and we believe they can have a rich learning experience without spending their entire day buried in worksheets.
