1st Things 1stWelcome to ABCJLM! We are so glad you have taken the time to stop by.
God has given each of us a huge responsibility to raise His little children. With God's help, my husband and I want to mold our children to be lights in this dark world. We believe it is our responsibility to instill Biblical principles and Christian values into their hearts. Thus, the creation of this curriculum.
Overall Curriculum:
• Both sets of curriculum are built around a 36-week time frame from the 4th week of August to the 1st week of May. However, you can begin the program whenever it is convenient for you. I set up the curriculum around this time period to match Bible themes and review weeks with the various holidays. To allow for more flexibility, no curriculum is written for the summer months.

• 3 Year Old Curriculum - This program was created for those children who have at least 2 years until starting Kindergarten.
• 4 Year Old Curriculum - I developed the 4 Year program for those children who will start Kindergarten the following school year.
• Both sets of curriculum are simple enough to modify for any age child - even toddlers. For those children who will be held back due to a late birthday, you may want to repeat a curriculum for reinforcement. When repeating, focus on the concepts that your child is still struggling with and supplement where needed. View this blog post for starting the curriculum mid-school year. When repeating the 4 Year Curriculum, your child may be ready to begin basic reading. Here are suggestions for supplement materials.
• Check out the Terms of Use for questions about this free website.
• Stay a couple of lessons ahead of your child. Each lesson contains a list of supplement items and ideas that coordinate with the themes of the lesson. These might be items that you wish to reserve at your library or purchase from Amazon or Christianbook.com. Review lessons a couple of weeks ahead of time to give yourself ample amount of time to gather the materials.
• FAQ - See answers to questions that I often receive.
• Have fun!
Tidbit of Info:
• Be sure to check out the helpful hints under Getting Started.
• The Supplemental Materials pages allow you to view the items suggested for this curriculum.
• All of the articles on this website are able to be printed or emailed by clicking on the little icons on the top right corner of the article.
• Please understand that no product is perfect. Nor is it the perfect item for every family. I have been honest on every review, but please do research yourself before making a decision. Also, in the books that I recommend, I have never found a book that I agree with 100% of the content. If I suggest the book, it means that over 90% of the information or story was very beneficial for our family.
• A highlight of my day is reading your emails - whether a question, idea, concern, or just saying that you enjoy the website. I so appreciate you taking the time. Please let me know when a link doesn't work or you have an idea. Emails like these are vital to this website, and I thank you for them. I will always respond, so if you don't hear from me, please resend your email since these have a way of getting lost in webspace! Email
