Playful Pathways

Early Childhood Curriculum for ALL Learners!

Neurodivergent-friendly , play-based learning for 3-5 year olds.

Welcome to Playful Pathways, the early childhood curriculum line from Accessible Pathways!

Our Story

Accessible Pathways was founded on the belief that every learner deserves curriculum that meets them where they are and celebrates how they learn. While our K-8th grade programs serve school-aged children with comprehensive, neurodivergent-friendly curriculum, we recognized a need for the same thoughtful, inclusive approach in early childhood education.

That’s why we created Playful Pathways.

Our Philosophy

At Playful Pathways, we believe preschool should be:

Playful: Learning happens best through exploration, imagination, and hands-on discovery.

Accessible: Every child—including neurodivergent learners—deserves curriculum designed with their needs in mind.

Comprehensive: Quality early childhood education includes intentional learning goals woven seamlessly into joyful play.

Flexible: Teachers and parents know their children best. Our curriculum provides structure while leaving room for individual adaptation.

What Makes Us Different

Every Playful Pathways unit includes:

  • Built-in neurodivergent adaptations for children with autism, ADHD, sensory sensitivities, and other learning differences
  • Play-based learning that keeps preschoolers engaged and excited
  • Detailed lesson plans that are easy to follow but flexible enough to customize
  • Hands-on activities that develop fine motor, gross motor, cognitive, and social-emotional skills
  • Printable resources ready to use with minimal prep time

  • Homeschool families teaching preschool at home
