This curriculum is amazing, very visually appealing and open and go. No preparation needed, and if anything extra is required for a lesson (think glue, paint etc), it’s mentioned in the outline of the lesson.
I love how it emphasizes the beauty in life, and appreciation of art throughout history, in language arts for example. A lot of people worry about it being faith based, but I didn’t find any doctrines taught, and it just teaches appreciation to God for the beauty around us, teaches manners through beautiful literature, and the art selections chosen.
It’s thorough yet gentle, easy to tweak if you have a child with developmental issues, and we love the built in assessments!

Good curriculum for the basics
I really like this curriculum for the math and language basics. It feels rigorous, but not time-wasting, my kids learn quickly with it and it doesn’t move fast enough to frustrate them. I found a few gaps between lessons and assessment in the re-vamp of the math curriculum at level K, but you don’t realistically need the assessments to gauge where your child is at with this curriculum. It is fairly evident through the lessons. I’m not crazy about the old-timey pastoral themed stuff, but it is neither a hindrance or perk for my kids. I just let them choose their own personal reading books rather than the Dick and Jane style readers. That said, the stories and books provided with the curriculum are very early reader accessible, which is difficult to find when searching independently. I love the grab-and-go ease of the curriculum for math and language. Science requires a lot more prep, especially if you’re using the PDF version. The science units are okay, but I would prefer something a little more comprehensive that teaches scientific process and thinking and develops a more systematic knowledge base, similar to the format of the language and math programs. We glaze over the faith stuff and occasionally skip pieces that feel fluff (ie. Noah’s ark in marine biology), but it doesn’t interfere.
