Do parents have to be present?

No, but it may be helpful. You do, however, need to log your child into the online classroom at the start of each class, but then you can either stay or do other things you need to do. Children may need help finding their activities or papers. Please place daily activities in a basket/folder set out on the table. They may also need help with some cutting and dealing with paint/messy activities. I would love for you to participate if you would like! My other parents love the time they get with their little ones. This can be a fun mommy/daddy time.

​Do parents have to print things off or help outside of preschool class?

No, you do not, unless you don't have access to shipping. I will print and ship out your worksheets with all of your prepped hands on activities for each 1 hour live class. There will be bonus pages too. This is monthly. If you are international, we will need to send out way ahead of time or you can do your printing yourself. If you are local, I can meet up half way or drop off if in the area. I also give the option of no prep by me too.

​Do parents have to buy art materials?

Your welcome kit is included in the registration fee. Then each month I will send out a supply box or deliver a bag of materials to you for the next months lessons hands on projects and activities. I may combine two months worth depending on how much time I have to prepare. This is included in your tuition! If you are not able to receive shipping materials, I will have a prepared list of materials to purchase and prep. I will deduct $30 off of your monthly tuition.

I also give the option of no prep by me too.

​Are there other costs besides my monthly tuition?

Yes, There is a $50 registration fee (This is a 50% discount Founding Family price right now) that will cover many things like the Welcome Kit, t-shirt, and getting child set up in program, and local field trips.

​Is this an online "learning" video game website? No. There is NO video game component to our online preschool program... just real, social interaction between an amazing preschool teacher (that's ME!) and a small class of amazing preschool friends.

​What's the difference between your online preschool and Hooked on Phonics or ABC Mouse?

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that preschoolers have no more than 1 hour of screen time per day. Would you prefer your child used that hour on high-intensity video games or on face-to-face social interactions to prepare your child in EVERY WAY to develop socially, emotionally, physically, cognitively, and linguistically? I believe preschool is a hands-on experience, and playing video games to "learn" isn't how we do things at online preschool.

​What if my child is shy, active, loud, crazy, etc.? After more than 10 years of teaching preschool through 12th grade and taking care of my own children, I think I've seen just about every type of child there is. I'm excited to teach your child and help him or her have a wonderful experience! I try to keep everyone unmuted, but if you feel like your child should be muted for a bit, we can work with that. If there is a lot of background noise, please mute your child also.

​What requirements do I need to participate? You'll need internet and a laptop or desktop computer. You can use an iPad or a phone but we don't recommend it because it's too hard to see everyone's faces and actually socialize with them. +all the materials in your welcome kit and monthly prepped boxes.

​ I'm not technical. Will you show me how to login? Yes. We've put together amazing video trainings that will walk you through how to login. It's easy!

​What platform is this using? We use the Zoom platform. The links we use to join our online classroom are exclusive to our preschool families so no one else can access the online classroom. Plus, our online classroom is monitored by a teacher (that's ME!) at all times when in use. You will find these in our private Facebook page and the HUB.

​I miss the friends I had with my child's local preschool.

Can I connect with preschool parents in my child's preschool/kinder class? Absolutely! After signing up, you'll join our private Facebook group of amazing preschool/kinder families. We're super supportive and excited to have you join us! I also have a Facebook messenger set up for us to

communicate with.

If I am sick or my children are sick and I can't get to a live session, you will have access to Miss Sarah's substitute video lessons. She is great!

I follow my children's school district calendar. We will not do live classes when there are holidays or vacation times at their school. I also will be attending my children's field trips and concerts during the school year, which could affect the schedule. This will only happen a few times a year. I usually know the date about a month ahead.

I also have a Spanish workbook for sale that goes along with your Spanish classes, a musical instrument kit, and Busy Learning Binders for sale. Please let me know.

If you are local, you will be able to participate in our graduation celebration or connect through zoom.
