FAQ
Which Age Level Should I Choose?
The age levels only affect which picture book will be included in your monthly box. Everything else in the box includes ideas at all three levels so you can customize for your child’s ability. We know that preschool children develop at different paces in different skill areas, so we want to give you ideas for making each activity appropriate for your child.
How do I know I won’t receive a book I already own?
About a week before each box ships, we’ll send you an e-mail with a preview of the books we’ve selected for this month. You can switch age levels if the book your next box includes is one you already have. (Note: You’ll receive the preview e-mail for each box after your first month. See below for the books selections for your first box.)
How do you decide the suggested age level for each book?
While we’ve labeled the picture book options by age level, all three picture books for each month are appropriate for all ages. We provide an age level suggestion to help you decide which book is best for your child. Here are the criteria we keep in mind when suggesting an age level:
Age 3
Gentle ideas and topics that relate to a young child, with easily-recognized illustrations. Your first box includes Angus and the Ducks by Marjorie Flack.
Age 4
Stories that include a little more conflict or emotional component. Can include some illustrations that require perspective shifts. Your first box includes Katy No-Pocket by Emmy Payne.
Age 5
Stories that can include more emotional growth components, and can involve an introduction to ideas and topics that are unfamiliar. Your first box includes Building Our House by Jonathan Bean.
Chapter Book
These optional add-on books are longer books that we suggest reading aloud with your child over multiple sessions, such as a bedtime story. Occasionally, this book may be a collection of poems or an anthology of stories. Your first box includes Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
How can I subscribe for two children the same age?
Because we select one book for each age level each month, a subscription can only include one of each age level option. For two children the same age, we suggest selecting another age level so you’ll receive two unique books to enjoy each month.

Absolutely love the Preschool Box! It’s easy to guide me through. My children look forward to the next book! Our family favorite is the picture study and the Listen First activity.

This is definitely a good value for the price of the kit! My kids are always excited to see what the crafts are and listen to the stories. My favorite part is how you can access everything from the monthly books on the website.

We’ve used OPL monthly subscription kits for many, many months now. Each kit is delightful and my children look forward to it each month! One could certainly diy each of these activities to have a well-rounded preschool ‘curriculum’, but you pay for the convenience of this composition being done for you; and they always select beautiful stories, art prints, and crafts (among other things), that you and your children will be beyond satisfied with! Working through each kit also gives me, as the parent, the gentle but necessary reminder that we don’t need to provide our little ones with a rigorous and overwhelming education – they only need simple, yet beautiful and fun activities led by the person who loves them most!
I also recommend the upgrade option of a monthly chapter book included in your kits. These are excellent reads that my kids love to listen to!

Our Preschool Life is a huge blessing to my family. The activities, suggestions, and motivations to me as mom, are precisely what my family needs. My older and younger children enjoy as much as my preschooler. Thank you Simply Charolette Mason!

Every month we look forward with delight to the tastefully wrapped content of Our Preschool Life Kits. The care that goes into packaging the kit says a lot about the company’s dedication to supporting parents in the education of their young ones. Opening the box feels a little like Christmas every month. My grandson has enjoyed the book selections, so much so that we read them repeatedly. Another favorite of his are the stickers for his Nature notebook. We also look forward to the new picture for picture study, which are each exquisite and a joy to study. The magazine is rich in ideas to keep parents and children occupied. We love how all the crafts are compiled with step by step instructions so parents who aren’t as crafty can easily set their little ones up for arts and crafts. We’ve enjoyed the poems, music, tales and Bible stories retold in living book style. Subscribing to Our Preschool Life was the best decision for our homeschool journey. Thank you SCM for the time and effort invested in this ministry!

I began my first homeschool year last year with my oldest of 4 girls. This was our only subscription box and still is- now arriving for her 5 year old sister. I LOVE this box. The books and paintings are a delight and so beautiful! We have the paintings displayed everyday. Ana (now 1st grade) received the most beautiful book of poems in her last box! My daughters are a fan. This Mamma is a fan 🙂 We’re now following Simply Charlotte Masons curriculum for Anas 1st grade year!
