A printable weekly preschool lesson plan template for daycare and preschool classrooms — plan each day’s circle time, activities, and materials in one form.
How to use this template
- Fill in one copy per classroom or group, per week — keep a copy on file so it’s ready to show a director, a new assistant, or a licensing inspector.
- Set the Weekly Theme first; it gives the week a thread (a book, a season, an idea children are curious about) that the daily activities can hang off.
- Plan one main activity and one outdoor / active-play block per day. The Developmental Domain field is just a short label to help you balance the week across language, movement, social, thinking, and creative play — it does not need to follow any particular country’s framework.
- List materials for each day at least one day ahead, so nothing is missing when the activity starts.
- The “Additional Notes” and “For Program Use Only” sections are optional — leave them out if they don’t apply to your setting.
- After the week runs, fill in the reflection line so next week’s plan can build on what worked.
