NB: The preschool and kindergarten packs are designed to be a sequential series, building on previously learned skills and concepts. Each new pack assumes that the child has already acquired certain skills and knowledge from earlier packs, and therefore provides a natural progression for their development. To ensure a strong foundation, the packs are intended to be presented in a specific order, allowing children to gradually advance from basic skills to more complex ones.

These Preschool and Kindergarten Packs are also included in the Activity Planner - a comprehensive resource for teachers or caregivers to use with young children aged 3-6. You can learn more about the Preschool and Kindergarten Activity Planner at montessorinature.com
