Thank you for taking the time to leave us such kind words and a postiive review about our Simply Loved Curriculum. We appreciate you!
This curriculum has been easy to use for our small church and the kids really love the character videos. They are learning a lot and it is easy to pass the lessons on from teacher to teacher in our church and keep things familiar to the kids.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review and feedback! We are thrilled to be able to come along side you to help your kiddos grow in their relationships with Jesus and each other.
I love this curriculum, but you put way too much for a short time frame. Plus the take home papers are not very well thought out. I think you need activity pages to do for kids like word search

Simply Loved makes Sunday mornings flexible and fun! We are able to quickly adapt to multi-age groups, fluctuations in attendance, and learning styles. Our volunteers find the lessons easy to use and super quick to prepare.

Knowing it’s helping your kids and volunteers grow closer to Jesus and build meaningful connections truly encourages our team. We’re honored to partner with you in such important work.

We are a quarter in and our church is enjoying this curriculum. It is easy for our teachers to prepare and teach, has fun activities, engaging Bible stories and age appropriate connections. I like the colorful posters, the kids love the stickers and we have been able to adapt it easily to our current program. I recommend it and our church will continue to use it!

Hi Hannah! Thank you for taking the time to provide such a positive review and details about what you like about our Simply Loved Curriculum! We are honored to be a part of your ministry and look foward to working with you in the future to help your kids and their teachers grow in their relationships with Jesus and each other.
PROS: - prepackaged physical materials. I only have a desktop inkjet, so this saves time and $ - Bible story posters and memory verse posters and stickers. Beautiful and good quality material. - Easy to read teacher friendly lessons. We previously used “Orange” and it was just too much. I literally had teachers refuse to follow lessons because it was too much to read. All are unanimous in liking this simple step by step picture layout better. - Few supplies needed. I already spent my budget on the curriculum, it’s nice that most materials needed are simple things and I can get most from the dollar store. - Downloadable content to email teachers ahead of time and make extra copies. CONS - the videos are a big swing and a miss. Kids don’t want to watch PowerPoints/picture slides. Literally the biggest turn off. This curriculum would be great if it had decent videos. But the kids can’t sit still to watch them because they’re so boring. They don’t even really tell the Bible story each week other than a 1 sentence summary. If you’re gonna do a slide show presentation, at least make it a flannel graph retelling of the story. Pictures of random things and an overly cheery narrator do no work. - sequence makes no sense. Why do we have a 4 week unit on Moses, then jump to Joseph, then jump to Jesus— then BACK to Old Testament? And why talk about Jesus’ birth in April!? This would be much more better if there was either a sense of chronology to it or if it at least followed the liturgical year. This is just random throwing spaghetti on the wall and hoping something sticks. The lessons are good, mind you- age appropriate and teacher friendly, but how can we expect kids to know the Bible if they don’t understand what happens where? - Digital Download Center doesn’t function properly. The download all button does NOT give you zip files. There are always errors when trying to download unless you go in and download each file individually. One at a time. This is extremely tedious and time consuming. I’m convinced they know but don’t fix it so you will for out money for their jump drive. - Digital access not given in emails but rather in a sticker inside the kit. What!? I ordered digital access so I could use it instantaneously. But No- we have to wait 2 weeks for the physical kit to come. It really defeats the purpose of digital access and planning ahead. Especially since the upper elementary add on you get the code in the email. Why is it so hard to give the base curriculum code in an email?! - Upper Elementary add on is a front/back page per lesson. I don’t think that enough value/worth it for the money.

Your feedback on the videos is invaluable; we understand that engaging content is key to keeping kids’ attention, and we’ll certainly look into improving that aspect. We appreciate your detailed feedback and will forward this to our editors for their consideration as they create future materials.
Our preschoolers and their leaders have enjoyed using this curriculum. It is easy to navigate and it is a plus to have materials that are both hands-on and digital. I am also grateful for the interactive support we have received! Susan Schuster has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and kind in supporting every step of our journey in purchasing and using your quality materials.
