Guide to Locating Items in Your Experience Preschool Kit

A walk through what’s included and where to locate each material, so you can feel confident and prepared as you bring your lessons to life.

Updated yesterday

Each box is based on a monthly theme and will be set up the same way. If this is your first month, you will receive a Getting Started Kit (this may arrive separately). In each month box, you'll find your Lesson Pack, which contains your Weekly lesson materials, your Circle Time materials, and your Teacher Tools. You will also find individually wrapped supply bags for each lesson containing materials such as art supplies, puzzles, and manipulatives.

Individually wrapped supply bags for each lesson

💡Helpful Tip: Be sure to match your Lesson Supplies Bag with the Daily Materials in your Weekly Lesson Pack. Each week includes five lessons, clearly labeled so you can find them easily.

Not every lesson comes with a Supplies Bag. If it looks like something is missing, check your lesson plan — some lessons don’t require individual “piece work” for each student, and any other needed printed materials or tools are included in the Weekly Lesson Pack.

‼️Lesson Supplies Bag sizes may differ based on the materials required for the lesson.

Materials for each activity

How do I know if something is included for each child?

In your Teacher Guides, you’ll find a list of materials for every activity. Here’s how to read it:

  • Supplies at the top – These are tools or materials to be shared by the whole group, no matter the kit size you purchase.

  • For each child – These materials are included in the daily supply bag for every child in your subscription to use during an activity.

  • Your Supplies – These are not included in your box. You’ll find a full month’s list in the Gathering List. A printed copy comes in the Teacher Tools Pack, and a digital copy is available in Member Resources

  • Items marked with an asterisk (*) – These are included in your box but packaged separately from the weekly lesson packs or daily supply bags.
