Welcome to Our Kindergarten School Box!
See what SchoolhouseTeachers.com members are saying:
“Course outlines, lesson plans, and easy-to-follow directions for printable resources/worksheets make it a snap to use! I am absolutely LOVING the planner that was included in my membership!” ~ Charlene W.
“I have been using SchoolhouseTeachers.com for several years now in my homeschool curriculum. There are so many classes to choose from, plus all kinds of extras. Although I am secular and many of these classes have religious components, I have found that it is not incompatible with our goals.” ~ Lisa R.
