The following online resources will help put you on the way to building your arsenal of teaching ideas for less money than you ever thought imaginable!
eBay
As you might already suspect, eBay is a great source for used early childhood curricula. You can buy a variety of both new and used preschool learning materials for a fraction of the cost. From the popular Creative Curriculum to the Carolina Curriculum, you can be sure to get a good deal on eBay. Both individual sellers and ebay book stores sell used preschool curricula. Great deals are available in both “buy it now” and auction deals. Be sure to choose a seller with 98 percent or higher positive feedback. Pay with PayPal and you’ll have more security in your purchase. It’s not a good idea to send money orders, since you’ll have no recourse if someone decides not to send the materials you ordered.
Amazon

Similar to Amazon, it’s another site to check for quality used teaching materials. Find the book title you’re looking for, and you’ll see a list of sellers you can purchase the curriculum from. Shop and compare according to positive feedback of the seller, price and location of the book. Alibris is a very convenient and reliable resource for buying used teaching materials for preschool.
