About Us

My Father’s World is dedicated to inspiring academic excellence in an easy and life transforming way. Our goal is to raise up a generation of children who see the world through God’s eyes and live according to that knowledge.

Our Christian Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten curriculum combines easy-to-teach daily lessons and hands-on activities with the Bible thoughtfully and thoroughly integrated throughout the learning experience. Perfect for preschools and daycares, our curriculum adopts a multifaceted learning approach benefiting teacher and student alike.

Easy-to-Teach Daily Lessons: Our Teacher's Manual schedules each day’s readings, activities, and discussions, incorporating all package contents into an easy-to-use structured guide. Minimizing daily planning allows you to focus more on loving and engaging the children in your classroom.

Hands-on-Activities: Ask anyone what they remember learning as a child and they will undoubtedly tell you about a science experiment they conducted or a presentation they made. No one ever talks about their favorite textbook. Most students learn better by doing. All of our packages include hands-on activities to improve motor skills, help retention, and create a fun learning experience that will inspire a child’s love for learning while creating a fun and exciting environment in the classroom. Our easy-to-use-guides include many additional crafts, games, and activities to reinforce key concepts. Simple hands-on projects organized in a chronological learning sequence that children love.

Charlotte Mason Influence: We bring the proven teaching methods of Charlotte Mason to life by incorporating key elements of her educational philosophy into our curriculum. A British educator who dedicated her life to improving education quality in England in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Charlotte Mason believed that children should be educated on real ideas through their natural environment. According to Charlotte Mason, "Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, a Life."

• At all levels, our curriculum is designed to quickly and efficiently teach a wide range of information from all the core subjects.
• To avoid an "arrogant" habit of mind, we focus on character development and the needs of other people.
• Probably the best known of Charlotte Mason's methods is her focus on living books. Each of our curriculum packages has been assembled with living books chosen for their biblical worldview, ability to inspire, and encouragement of godly character. Plus, each program includes an optional extensive library list of prescreened literature books.
• If you've heard of Charlotte Mason, you've probably also heard of her dislike for "twaddle," which we define as the unnecessary repetition of information to keep the child pointlessly occupied with "busy work." We focus on developing a child's skill of narration – the art of being able to retell what you've just read or heard – from the beginning of their educational experience. Children who learn how to narrate are more confident speakers, who more efficiently organize their thoughts, and recall details better.

Classical Education: Where the traditional Greco-Roman classical approach has a man-centric view of the universe, we utilize a Hebraic approach. We teach about the God of the universe and His relationship with mankind whereas traditional classical education teaches about the gods that man creates and worships. During the early stages of learning, children discover the building blocks for all other learning in future years. Teaching focuses on learning about God and His world, how to read and write, and an overview of history from Creation to the present.

Bible Integration: As children learn about the amazing world they live in, they also learn to love and believe in the One who created it. Activities and Bible stories help develop practical life skills, focusing on character development. Our comprehensive Bible-based curriculum is not a single subject; instead, you will find our Bible curriculum thoroughly integrated throughout each year of our program, helping children learn a biblical worldview from preschool onward.

• In Preschool children discover God’s love with All Aboard the Animal Train. They will learn biblical values, character development, and readiness skills with finger plays, creative play, hands-on activities, read-aloud books, educational toys, and animal cookie cutters.
• In Pre-K children discover God’s ways with Voyage of Discovery. They will learn about God through Scripture songs, Bible stories, and hands-on activities while developing kindergarten readiness skills.
• In Kindergarten, children discover God’s world with God’s Creation from A to Z. They will link each alphabet letter to an object found in God's creation and to a biblical character trait, with lessons reinforced by science activities and hands-on projects.

Meet the Founders

My Father’s World was founded by David and Marie Hazell. David is passionate about serving Christ and home and classroom education, and has been involved with Bible translation for several decades. His wife, Marie, is a speech and language specialist with a master’s degree and teaching credentials; her experience in education inspired her to develop programs adaptable to a variety of learning styles and ages. Together, they combined their experiences and knowledge in education, family, and biblical principles to create what is now known as My Father’s World.

Missions

We started with a commitment to fund Bible translation worldwide. God has blessed us to able to make increasingly significant contributions to translation projects each year through a trusted nonprofit organization, God's Word for the Nations. Its focus is funding Bible translation to advance God's Kingdom by communicating His Word into the heart language of all people.
