Planning shouldn't be the hardest part of your week.
The only weekly lesson planner built around the real preschool day — play-based, flexible, and designed by ECE professionals who understand that toddlers don’t follow a K-12 schedule.
Sound familiar?
We talked to hundreds of ECE teachers. These are the things that came up again and again:
- Spending your Sunday night formatting a planning template instead of actually planning
- Tools that force you into subject boxes — Math, Reading, Science — when your toddlers learn through play
- Printing a beautiful plan only to scrap it by Tuesday because the kids had other ideas
- Copying and pasting between Google Docs, spreadsheets, and sticky notes every single week
- Paying $15–20/month for a K-12 tool that doesn't understand what circle time is
A planner that thinks like a preschool teacher
No subject boxes. No rigid templates. Just a simple weekly grid organized around the way your classroom actually works.
Built around the real preschool day
Seven default time blocks that match how early childhood classrooms actually flow — not how a K-12 curriculum committee thinks they should.
Track the whole child, not just the lesson
Tag every activity with the developmental domains it supports. See at a glance whether your week covers the full spectrum of early learning.
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
We stripped away the bloat and kept what ECE teachers actually asked for.
Weekly Grid View
See your entire week at a glance, organized by the time blocks that match your actual classroom day.
9 Developmental Domains
Tag every activity with the domains it supports — Cognitive, Language, Motor, Social-Emotional, and more.
Weekly Theme & Reflection
Set a weekly theme, track materials, and add reflection notes — all in one place.

Built with early childhood educators. Not for them.
We didn’t build this planner in a boardroom. We listened to hundreds of teachers — in classrooms, on forums, in late-night DMs — who told us what they actually need. Then we built exactly that.
Every feature exists because a real teacher asked for it. Every shortcut is there because someone told us what wastes their time. This is your planner.
