Depending on the preschool age of your child, Wee Folk Art or Before Five in a Row. Wee Folk Art is much less expensive, more hands on craft oriented, works with letters in a phonics sort of arrangement (meaning it doesn't do an ABC in order letter of the week, but a letter of a week that lines up with the Explode the Code learning progression). Before Five in a Row is very discussion-based and you'll need to add in hands-on activities if you want a more active program. I like both of them but I'll probably primarily use Wee Folk Art for my son's last pre-K year (this year).

I just found the homegrown preschooler it is not a curriculum per say but a book full of sensory, science, math, emergent literacy,art, large and small moterms skill ideas. It has me very excited about sensorylay art and science play with my 3 and 5 year olds. I have AAR pre reading and I love that also. You don't need the whole thing though just the teachers Manual and student cards. You can probably find the manual used and I think if you call AAR they will sell you only the cards. A rhyming alphabet book either theirs or another (I have the bordbook one by Dr suess). A good math would be preschool math at home by Kate snow or the old level a of RightStart. The homegrown preschooler has a complete curriculum that would probably be great but expensive. It is a called a year of playing skillfully. I didnt get the curriculum because I really like to plan some on my own and already had AAR and level a of RightStart first edition. I really like the homegrown preschooler book...it has a lot of information in it beyond just academic it includes ideas for juggling life and school and receives for dinner as well as sensory bins.

I also was going to suggest checking out Sonlight (literature-based--we've used their books for years, so many good ones) and Timberdoodle (hands-on--they always have fun stuff). For a multi-sensory reading readiness approach, AAR Pre-reading teaches five main skills (print awareness, phonological awareness, letter knowledge, listening comprehension, and motivation to read). Have fun--such a great age!

We are using Memoria Press's preschool for ages 2-3.  Each week has a board book along with lots of activities covering a wide range of skills.  While the activities are pretty simple, I like the idea of ready-to-go ideas.

Sounds like what we are doing. I like timberdoodle for most things, but they are light on books. I found a lot of great books by looking around various lists (Mater amabilus, ambleside, mensa for kids, sonlight, etc). Timberdoodle also has a lot of crafty things, but I also got some general art supplies to just let her play with.
