Hopper Creek Curriculum
Our complete Montessori-inspired curriculum for ages 3–5, written by the teachers at Hopper Creek Montessori in Napa. For families learning at home and for preschool classrooms.
Every week starts with a lesson plan, then three worksheets: a letter sound, a math skill, and a shapes, patterns or cutting page.
36 themed weeks in four seasonal terms, from Apples and Pumpkins to Ponds and Frogs, with review weeks built in.
Taught sound-first in a Montessori order that helps children start reading simple words early.
Counting, ten-frames, more and fewer, first adding and taking away, measuring and counting by tens.
Practical life, sensorial, language, math, science and culture, art, movement and outdoor ideas.
A Monday-to-Friday plan and a family connection idea for every week.
Skills checklists for letters and numbers, plus a “Ready for Kindergarten” certificate to finish the year.
Short, joyful lessons that take 30 to 60 minutes a day, using things you already have: bowls, spoons, leaves, buttons and a lot of curiosity. No teaching experience needed.
Ready-made circle time plans, shelf work ideas and worksheets for a whole year. Copy the pages for every child in your own classroom.
For years, families have asked us the same question at pickup: “What can we do at home?” We looked for workbooks to recommend, but most of what we found didn’t match how children actually learn in our classroom.
So we made our own. Every page comes from real classroom experience. We teach sounds before letter names, hands-on activities come before paper, and the pages are calm and simple for small hands.
At Hopper Creek, families are always welcome to stay in our classroom as long as they like. These books are our way of extending that welcome to your kitchen table.
A shorter workbook for extra practice, written by the same teachers.
Counting to 20, first adding and shapes, with hands-on activities to go with every page. Ages 3–5.
Right after checkout you’ll get a download link on screen and by email. The PDF opens on any computer, tablet or phone.
Yes. Print the worksheets as many times as you like for the children in your own home or classroom. Please don’t share or resell the file.
Standard US letter paper (8.5 × 11 inches), in color or black and white.
A paperback edition is coming to Amazon for families who would rather not print.
