You might be wondering…
Who am I? My name’s Meghan and I’m an actual, real-life parent. I have two kids who I absolutely love even when they spill an entire glass of milk on their shirts right after we got dressed for the day. 😵💫
I’m also a certified teacher, parent educator, and business owner. I’m on a mission to inject more play into early childhood and, at the same time, make parenthood less stressful.
Early childhood is such a tiny window of time and it’s so magical I get to be a part of spreading more play and joy into your day! 💖
Have a question? Send me a note (admin@kidsplaytricks.com) and I promise to write back 🙂

No Fluff Tot School
Blending play and learning into a one-of-a-kind preschool curriculum!
Using the power of discovery, wonder, and curiosity your child will experience the magic of learning through play.
🚫 No Fluff Tot School is NOT:
- Filled with adult-directed activities
- Product-based (where everyone’s work looks the same)
- Flooded with worksheets, printables, and cookie-cutter crafts
- Structured around outdated themes and concepts (like calendar time or letter of the week 👎🏽)
- Strict lesson plans that you must follow in sequential order
✅ No Fluff Tot School IS:
- Centered on child-led play
- Process-based (the focus is on the process, rather than the end result)
- Built upon age-appropriate, play-based games and activities
- Structured around current research supporting the strong connections between play and learning
- Flexible to fit into your life and follow your child’s interests (because you don’t HAVE to learn about turkeys just because it’s November)

I designed this program through the lens of a teacher and a parent.
I’ve filtered out all the fluff that traditional preschool programs have to save you time (and your sanity) without sacrificing learning.
Easy-to-Navigate
36-week preschool curriculum
Developmentally on track
Intentionally designed for ages 2-3 based on real learning standards
Flexible routine
Each day follows a basic daily rhythm that’s fun AND totally doable
Connect with your child
Truly enjoy the early years through activities you’ll love too
No Fluff Tot School is a hands-on at-home toddler curriculum that seamlessly blends play-based learning and traditional academics…it’s truly unlike any other preschool program. This curriculum, designed for ages 2-3, has no PDFs with tiny fonts, workbooks, or hours of prepping printables.
Questions? We’ve got answers!
Will I need to buy a lot of supplies?
The materials you’ll need are all simple open-ended art supplies, toys, or items from around the house. The supplies are used throughout the program so you won’t find anything you’ll use just one time. And, since all of the supplies are open-ended, anything you purchase can be used for years beyond the program.
How much prep will I have to do?
The day's activities should take you less than five minutes to prep — there are no printables to print, laminate, or cut out.
My kids are in daycare, can I still use the program?
The curriculum is organized by week, but you can mix and match the order and work as fast or slow as you’d like. You could easily stretch the program out through the summer, use it just on weekends, follow it five days a week, or just two. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all boxed curriculum!
