The most popular school of thought on preschool is to keep it  primarily play based. Songs, arts and crafts, outside play, pretend play, the library, and field trips, with very little sit down work. Many families purchase no curriculum for preschool, and use dollar store books and free printable websites to practice dexterity and “do school” a little throughout the day.
