I HAVE ANSWERS!
If you think of a question I haven't answered yet, feel free to reach out to me at divmar33@gmail.com
-
Do parents have to be present? No. 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.
-
​Do parents have to print things off or help outside of preschool class? No. Our curriculum is designed to be hands-on (no worksheets) and self-contained within our 1-hour preschool class each day so you don't have to supplement additional curriculum during the day.
-
​Do parents have to buy art materials? Yes. The supplies are supplies are available.
-
​Are there other costs besides my monthly tuition? Yes. There are other costs required to participate such as the supply kit that is available.
-
​Is this an online "learning" video game or worksheet website? No. There is NO video game or worksheet 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. 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 13 years of teaching, 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!
-
​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.
-
​ 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 Zoom, a free 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.

​I miss the friends I had with my child's local preschool. Can I connect with preschool parents in my child's preschool class? Absolutely! After signing up, you'll join our private Facebook group of amazing preschool families. We're super supportive and excited to have you join us!
