“We’re only three days in on adding the magic that is @artfulteaching.joyfullearning's new curriculum to our homeschool lineup, and already it’s changed pretty much everything!
We followed Alana’s instructions to work together and come up with some shared goals for our homeschool year and ended up happy crying and hugging and teamwork-making just about the cutest doodle reminder list ever. Then we went to work on THIS: a life-sized body tracing masterpiece!

She makes it so easy and her approach is the perfect mix of academics and play. It just feels so...meaningful.” - Cara, @Hello.Moonpie

I believe children are incredibly brilliant and capable human beings, and helping parents and educators tap into their children's full potential - through an engaging, hands-on approach to learning - is my life's calling and purpose.
As a former public school teacher, I knew children deserved more, but I was locked into a rigid system, stuck in an old-fashioned model that was heavy on assessments, rigorous curriculum and efficiency.
After years of teaching, studying, reading and devouring the latest in educational research about how children learn best, earning my Masters of Education, I developed my own homeschool enrichment program, where I applied my years of research and practical experience, and implemented a play-based curriculum.
WONDER, the ARTS, NATURE and PLAY were the cornerstones of the program,
"Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning. is a super delightful, thoughtful, thorough, fun, flexible, colorful and creative curriculum with beautiful projects that my kids enjoyed completing. It is just the right amount of learning, play and art throughout. Absolute perfection! And Alana is responsive, organized, encouraging and delightful to work with!"
"ATJL has helped me in our every day homeschool as a fun and easy ways to learn that seems so effortless and my daughter hardly even realizes she’s learning."
"Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning. brought new life into our homeschool days with creative ideas. This curriculum has become my go-to for planning my months - it's so easy to access and follow. This program also helped me learn more about Reggio and how to implement it for our family."
"Alana lays everything out so beautifully! Her curriculum is easy to understand and implement into our days! We love her colorful and fun approach to education and life! Her personal touch with her online workshops is so helpful and inspiring. She cares and believes in what she provides for us and it's so evident! "

Curriculum is not created in a vacuum. Fundamentally, learning in the early years (children ages 3-8) is universal. Children around the world develop in much the same way, from the concrete to the abstract, and this program emphasizes a hands-on, experiential approach that is aligned with the most current research in the field. Until children start to learn distinct geographical and cultural aspects, learning in language arts, math and other subject areas follows a systematic and similar progression. Rest assured your child will get exactly what they need.
The curriculum is laid out with easy to access supply lists.
Most activities use items you already have at home, or are available at the Dollar Store.
For art supplies used throughout the year, there is a 1-click shopping list through Amazon. These supplies are estimated at under $100 for the year.

Advanced Training: Wonder-Learning. How to use your child’s interests and curiosities across the curriculum
This curriculum is based on universal values such as kindness, generosity, honesty and responsibility. While it is a secular curriculum, faith-based elements can be easily incorporated into the activities.
All children are capable. My approach is one of inclusivity, so no matter the age, learning style, developmental or cognitive ability, the curriculum is one that address the whole child, and is easily adapted.
The problem with traditional curricula is the heavy focus on paper-pencil/seat-work tasks. All learners are experiential, and learn by doing, experiencing and reflecting on experience. This curriculum is designed for all children to achieve success.
The curriculum has its roots in a Reggio-Inspired approach to early learning. One that sees children as highly capable, with an innate desire to learn. This approach is based on a Constructivist stance, that children actively make meaning of their world through experience, social interaction and reflection.
That said, rich literature and outdoor exploration {Charlotte Mason}, as well as invitations to learn {Montessori}, and following the child's lead {Unschooling} all play a big part in this curriculum as well.
