Pod Squad

Preschool · 3–5 years

Preschool Squad

Letters, numbers, friendships, and big questions, learned by doing.

Time it takes

Two hours a day

Three home days with five 20-minute blocks, one project day with the pod, and one outing. Literacy and math live inside the projects.

What we promise

  • Play-based literacy and early math that doesn't feel like school
  • Project weeks: build, cook, grow, perform
  • Emotional skills: the feelings toolbox
  • Pod days with real group games and roles

Nourish & rest, included

Kids in the kitchen: cooking as literacy and math, and lunches that travel to pod day.

Most preschoolers drop the nap; quiet time replaces it

Every week you get

1

A project theme with a real product at the end (a cookbook, a bug museum, a puppet show)

2

Daily letter and number play inside the project

3

A Feelings Toolbox lesson

4

Pod project day with real roles

5

An outing with a research question

6

Books, songs, a supply list, and progress notes

A sample month, in your lane

How each lane tilts the Preschool Squad

Nourish at this stage

  • A recipe a week the kids can actually make
  • Lunchbox formula: protein, produce, carb, something fun
  • Sugar without drama
  • Growing something you eat
  • Table talk: the conversation questions

Educational guidance, not medical advice. Your pediatrician or a registered dietitian knows your child.

Rest at this stage

  • Most preschoolers drop the nap; quiet time replaces it
  • 10–13 hours of sleep; bedtime creeps earlier when the nap goes
  • Screens off an hour before bed
