Welcome!
If you’re homeschooling your preschooler and looking for learning activities, tips, resources, inspiration, and encouragement from a Christian perspective, then you’re in the right place!
With a heart and passion for both teaching and spiritual growth, I’ve dedicated Tothood 101 to be a place for Christian moms to find ideas and resources for teaching preschoolers at home, along with Biblical encouragement for balancing faith, family, and personal life in your role as a wife, mommy, homeschool mom, Sunday School Teacher, neighbor, friend, or wherever the Lord has called you to.
My goal is to give you the tools and confidence to make teaching your little one super fun and exciting and as stress-free as possible, so you can spend more time creating lifelong memories for both of you.
I am convinced that you are hands down, the best teacher for your child! God knew what he was doing when He made you their mom.
I want this to also be a place where you can find inspiration and practical ideas to strengthen your daily walk with the Lord, along with helpful tips, tools, and resources to support your faith while balancing family and personal life. Because I know your life has so many more aspects besides just Mommy.
Here’s a little graphic I put together illustrating that I get it! You are balancing many aspects of your life and at the same time trying to be there for others in your many roles as wife, Mommy, grandparent, friend, Sunday School Teacher, neighbor… (the list goes on). The thing is all these roles are all connected and it’s important to keep Jesus in the center of it all.
My Story (the Abrigded Version) -lol
I love Jesus, I love teaching, AND I love sharing ideas so as a result – Tothood 101 was created.
I’ve spent most of my life as a teacher. I started teaching preschool right after graduating from high school in 1985 (you can do the math on that one)
I did that for years until I was promoted to Mommy/homeschool mom.
During that time I also enjoyed teaching children in Sunday School, Children’s Church, VBS, Co-ops, Good News Clubs, Summer Camp, Missionettes, and Awanas.
After homeschooling preschool through high school, I returned to teaching preschool for a few more years until I received another promotion to Mimi.
My goal is to make homeschool preschool learning FUN by sharing ideas for preschool learning activities and resources to give you the tools and confidence you need for teaching your little ones at home.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Prov 3:5-6 (NKJV)
So, where to first?
