3 Things to Look for in an Online Preschool
Are you looking into an online preschool for your child? You may be homeschooling a wide age range and need something for your preschooler to do while you’re teaching your other children, or you want something extra to help when your preschooler misses class due to illness or travel, or you want your child to do something more academic with their screen time before they watch television. Or you may just be looking for a great online preschool option for your child! Whatever the case may be, online preschool is a great way to help your child learn and grow. Here are some things to consider when choosing an online preschool program.
Curriculum and Activities
An excellent online preschool will have a well-thought-out and planned curriculum designed by experts. The videos should be short in duration and entertaining enough to keep little ones engaged. Even with a short run time, they should really pack a punch when it comes to learning! They should also include fun and hands-on activities that can be done with materials you most likely already have at home to continue the learning in person. The videos should cover a wide range of topics including literacy, math, science, art, cooking, stories, and poems.
Teacher Qualifications
Just like in-person preschool, a quality program will have a qualified teacher doing the actual instruction. An early childhood educator has hours and hours of special training in developmentally appropriate ways to teach those little learners, so online preschool teachers should also have the appropriate qualifications to teach.
Cost
A quality online preschool should also be affordable. Many people choose to enroll their child in online and in-person preschool so that the child gets some extra academics at home but gets the awesome social skills that come from in-person learning. You definitely don’t want your online preschool program to break the bank.
