The Preschool Homeschool

As a homeschooling family, we occasionally try out affordable curriculums and see how we like them. We used Brighter Visions with our son and tried it with our daughter. Our son was 2.5 when we started with him and our daughter was 3.5. Even after trying Brighter Visions with two different age groups my opinion remains the same.

With Brighter Visions you get a workbook, craft, stickers, storybook, and manipulative or song. While it’s fun for the kids to get these little boxes in the mail each month, it’s not a curriculum that keeps their attention long. My son and daughter both enjoyed the crafts and stickers the most. My daughter can do the workbook in one day and my son was never interested.

I stayed with Brighter Visions for about 4 months with my son, until I realized I could come up with the same things on my own or find similar projects online for free. I only got 2 boxes with my daughter. However, if you struggle each month to come up with a learning theme or ideas, then Brighter Visions may work for you. The cost is certainly affordable. The hardback books that come in the box are worth the price. At around $20, the price can’t be beat. However, if you’re looking for something truly enriching for your curriculum, you may want to try something else. You can decide for yourself by ordering a free sample curriculum from BrighterVisions.com. They do honor the guarantee that you own nothing if you don’t like the product.
