Let’s be real—teaching two- and three-year-olds is not for the faint of heart. You’re juggling tiny humans with big emotions and a whole lot of wiggle energy. And on top of that? You’re planning lessons that need to be developmentally appropriate, meaningful and manageable.
That’s exactly why I created the Two and Three Year Old Curriculum—and now, it’s better than ever.
So… what’s new?
We’ve taken your feedback, sprinkled in some magic, and made updates that are going to make your life so much easier.
Here’s what’s inside the upgraded curriculum:
✅ Weekly Overview Pages
These give you a quick peek at the week ahead. No more second-guessing your plan or scrambling on Monday morning. Just add your favorite read-alouds and boom—you’re ready.
✅ Daily Lesson Plans (with Objectives + Standards!)
Each day is broken down with easy-to-follow lessons, clear objectives (so you know exactly what children are learning), and aligned standards that keep you on track.
You’ll see:
- Intentional whole group lessons that build classroom connection and reinforce key skills—even if mornings feel a little chaotic.
- Guide small group instruction with focused, differentiated lessons that support every child—without the need to create five separate plans.
- Stay organized and fully prepped with a simple materials list that keeps your lessons running smoothly—even if you didn’t plan ahead the night before.
- Feel confident knowing every lesson is aligned and purposeful with standards listed right on the plan—even if an admin walks in mid-lesson.
✅ Center Ideas Made for Littles
These aren’t your average centers. These are two- and three-year-old friendly:
- Encourage creativity and confidence with open-ended art experiences that celebrate exploration—not perfection—even if messes happen along the way.
- Engage little learners with sensory tubs that invite deeper play and exploration—without the spills and limitations of shallow trays.
- Spark meaningful, imaginative play with dramatic play themes grounded in everyday experiences—so children build life skills while having fun, even if pretend play usually feels chaotic.
- Strengthen fine motor skills and introduce early math concepts through hands-on bins that make learning feel like play—even for your busiest little learners.
✅ Editable Lesson Plans
Prefer to move things around or add your own flair? The editable Google Slides version makes it a breeze to tweak your week—without starting from scratch. AND move around activities to suit you. Only teach 3 days a week? Pick and choose and move around the lesson activities inside Google Slides!
✅ All the Extras You’ll Love
- Weekly Materials Lists – hello, organized supply runs!
- Pacing Guide – to make the whole year feel more connected.
- Early Learning Standards (Just for 2s & 3s) – thoughtfully created from a mash-up of national and state standards.
- Standards Matrix – because knowing what you’re covering at a glance is the dream.

You get:
