CHILDHOOD IS TOO SHORT to sit at a desk with worksheets all day.
With Daily Wonder's open and go curriculum, you can give them more.
It's engaging. It’s hands-on. It’s art and play-based. And it covers learning standards.
If you’re a parent who believes in a gentle and playful approach to learning but also need a plan to teach your homeschooler to read, write and do math... You're in the RIGHT place.
The problem is traditional curriculum - workbooks, worksheets, and online learning - don't inspire you or your kids.
But following your kid's lead feels too unstructured, and you worry you'll miss important academics.
We believe children learn best through hands-on experiential learning, not sitting online for 5 hours a day. We understand what it feels like to worry that your kids will fall behind or that you aren't enough, which is why we have helped thousands of parents and teachers teach with competence, ease, and creativity so their kids fall in love with learning.
You will love homeschooling with our wonder-filled curriculum.
You CAN homeschool with confidence.
We are three moms: experienced Waldorf teachers and administrators who helped build and run a Waldorf school where our children attended. During the pandemic, we came to love homeschooling our own children. Inspired by our extensive in-class teaching experience, we created Daily Wonder homeschool curriculum so you can bring Waldorf education to your kitchen table with ease.
And the best part? It covers all subjects, meets required learning standards AND it’s affordable!
So, what do you get with Daily Wonder? A full year includes 10 units, each with 15 days of lesson plans plus 5 days of flexible guided independent project ideas. Whether you want to dive into the whole year or try one unit at a time, we offer flexible purchasing options to suit everyone’s needs.
Each Block/Unit Includes: The unit overview includes curriculum focus, connection to learning standards, social-emotional learning focus, connection to First Peoples’ Principles of Learning, reading and preparation guidance, materials lists, developmental connection, parent reflection questions, music & verses and 15 days of lesson plans and 5 flex days.

The benefit of Daily Wonder is the guidance, inspiration and not feeling so alone. It's time-saving with plans laid out for you. There are lots of different ways to learn creatively, mindfully and it's fun for both my child and myself.

NO - Daily Wonder can be accessed anywhere in the world!
Our Waldorf homeschool curriculum is guided by the developing child's needs and created by licensed teachers which makes it transferable to wherever you are. The learning standards and concepts attached to the activities in the lesson plans will give you the confidence that your child is covering curriculum in age appropriate ways.
The Daily Wonder wording for concepts is taken from western Canada's Ministry of Education curriculum since that is the location of Daily Wonder Headquarters. Curriculum is transferable to any location since children develop in the same way wherever they are.
Here is an example:
Daily Wonder Concept for Grade 2 Language Arts: Through listening and speaking, we connect with others and share our world. Texas, USA Concept for Grade 2 Language Arts: The student develops oral language through listening, speaking, and discussion Ireland, Concept for Primary grades Language Arts: Communicating as a listener, speaker, reader, writer forms the curriculum.
As mentioned, Daily Wonder has students all around the world, so when it comes to learning about your specific province/state in Grade 4, and country, in Grade 5, we provide step-by-step guidance as to what aspects of history and geography you'll bring to your child each week of the unit. You, the parent, or teacher, will then research and gather the information necessary to share with your child or learning pod students. And with Daily Wonder, each week is laid out so you can prepare with ease.
Regarding teaching about the continents, Grade 6 covers North America and Europe, and Grade 7 covers Africa and Asia. If you live on a continent not covered in the Daily Wonder curriculum, you can take ideas from any of the continental studies and adapt them to your needs.
Since Daily Wonder typically does all the planning for you, in these three units (local, provincial/state and country geography units), we've included a comprehensive breakdown of topics to cover along with website links to help you find suitable material. In the preceding units there are reminders about these upcoming history/geography units and what work needs to be done. It may take 1-2 weeks to prepare for a history/geography unit, and we suggest using the built-in flex week to finish much of this work.
