I just got a look at the new preschool curriculum from Sonbeams. There are several positives to this product. [Disclaimer: This is not a paid review, nor is the link an affiliate link.]
First, it was obviously written by someone with experience with preschoolers. The lessons are focused–you work on one concept for five days. The lessons are reinforced in a variety of ways using the five senses and different learning modalities.
Second, it was obviously written by someone who homeschools. The lessons are laid out in an easy-to-follow format. All the planning is done for you. You just need to check each week to see what supplies you will need. You can easily skip activities or a whole day if needed.
Third, if you have a learning disabled child or one who struggles with academic learning, this curriculum provides a gentle introduction to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other preschool concepts. The author incorporates sign language as part of each lesson, allowing a child with speech issues to communicate his understanding of the topic.
A Note: this curriculum is Christian. Whenever possible, the author ties the lesson to a Bible verse, story, or principle. Great if you are looking for something specifcally Christian that is not preachy.
