Science for Little Hearts and Hands
Many families find that teaching one Science for Little Hearts and Hands lesson per week or more is ideal. Each course will take one full school year to complete if it is completed at a pace of one lesson per week. If you plan to teach more than one lesson per week, we suggest also purchasing one of our other Science for Little Hearts and Hands courses as well.
