When you’re ready to start your online preschool, you need to first understand how to run your online preschool business.
HOW LOCAL PRESCHOOLS TRANSITIONED TO ONLINE PRESCHOOL
In 2020, we found ourselves at an unprecedented moment in the history of the world. Small businesses everywhere were forced to close, with no reopening date in sight. Of the many industries that were forced to close, daycares and preschools were among them.
Local Preschools Shut Down
One day, children were attending preschool; the next day, without warning, preschool owners were calling their preschool families, saying they had to close temporarily but would hopefully be reopening in a week or two. That week or two came and went; and local preschools remained closed for three full months until summer came.
Inside our preschool community, though, a different conversation was happening. We had already been preparing for a possible COVID-19 outbreak in our schools for a month before the shutdown happened. The concept of preschools being forced closed by the government wasn’t even on our radar, but that didn’t stop us from taking immediate action.
Local Preschools Transitioned to Online Preschool
As soon as the shutdown was announced, we jumped into creation mode and brainstormed how -we- would start an online preschool. Within a week, the content was finished and our preschool owners were welcoming their preschool families into their online classrooms without missing a beat. Many had been on Spring Break during that first week of the shutdown so after some quick emails and Facebook Lives to explain the new process of online preschool, the entire process was smooth.
Tuition kept flowing to the preschool owners… and preschool families felt supported during the entire pandemic. While the entire world was in upheaval, their preschool children were able to maintain a sense of normalcy by still seeing their classmates and teachers every week online. The world was being torn apart, but these preschool families were growing closer than ever. Preschool owners offered them more than just preschool. They gave them reassurance that everything would be okay one day, education on how to protect their families and keep them safe, and a lifeline to a community so they never felt alone. Truly, they were showing what it means to be part of a preschool FAMILY.
By following the “Local to Online to Local” strategy, preschool owners are able to feel confident that they can handle anything the world throws at their preschool. Government shuts you down? No worries. Go online. You can reopen? Awesome. Go back to local.
By following this strategy, preschool owners retain control of their financial stability and aren’t left at the whims of local school districts, health departments, or city governments to decide if they can or cannot be open. Rather, they can be open 100% of the time by knowing how to “go online” in an instant. In fact, our preschool owners no longer operate around their school district’s schedule. They set their own schedule regardless of the district.
Local Preschool Families Loved the Online Classes
- Becki Reed transitioned all 35 of her local students to online preschool so she could keep her income to pay her rent and staff!
- Sam Clemens quickly moved her 100+ local students right into online preschool taught by her teachers!
- Anita Gerber successfully shifted her 48 local students right into online classes and even used that online time to renovate her new preschool building!
- Denise Shields moved her 10 local students to online preschool and now does both local and online preschool!
- Starr Jerry transitioned her local preschoolers immediately to online and now she teaches 40 online and local students!
Now, most preschools have resumed as normal and the majority of our local preschool owners have full classes with growing wait lists. They know that, if needed, they can immediately move their preschool classes online without a disruption in income or stability in their business. That knowledge brings confidence during this upcoming school year.
As time goes on, however, we hear more and more reports of other preschools closing their doors for good, because those other preschools didn’t follow our strategy and didn’t move their students online, so they’re now either too scared or too financially unstable to last another school year. As sad as it is to hear of decades-old preschools closing down for good, we are reminded of one thing, we are so thankful for the opportunity to lead our preschool owners, as we have proven that together, we can thrive in any situation… even during a global pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. And if we can overcome that, we can overcome anything!
HOW BUSINESS OWNERS STARTED NEW ONLINE PRESCHOOLS FROM SCRATCH
On top of helping local preschool owners transition their preschools online, we realized that a huge opportunity had just opened up. With families everywhere being more open to virtual learning, we realized that there was a new demand for online preschool that never existed before. And without the local regulations and licensing requirements, the market was wide open for mothers everywhere to start an online preschool WITHOUT a specific degree, any experience, a location, start-up costs, or even licensing!
Truly, online preschool leveled the playing field and allowed any mother to start an online preschool as long as she was loving to children, committed to learning and implementing NAEYC’s developmentally appropriate practices, dedicated to following our training step by step, and wouldn’t give up! We saw a huge increase in our preschool owners finally starting their preschool businesses. You see, some of them had struggled to start a local preschool for whatever reason, but when given the opportunity to start one online, they found success!
They loved the fact that all they needed was a computer, an internet connection, and a WALL to create a successful preschool business… and it was a lot less time commitment as well. While most local preschool classes are 2.5 hours long, an online preschool class was only 30 minutes long! Several mothers decided to do both local and online preschool at the same time this school year, while others are still working other jobs and decided to add a few online preschool classes into their schedule. If we’ve learned anything in this process, it’s that online preschools are pretty much the easiest and most flexible preschools to create!
HOW TO STRUCTURE YOUR ONLINE PRESCHOOL
Our preschool owners offer their preschool parents a REAL PRESCHOOL TEACHER to teach their children in a Teaching Time lesson plus provide the students with REAL PRESCHOOL FRIENDS to socialize with during a Preschool Pals class. (Later, you’ll see why that’s so important.)
While online preschool owners differ in their exact approach on how they run their online preschool, the most common online preschools run as follows:
- Ages: 3-5
- Online Classroom Platform: Teachers meet with students on Zoom or Google Meet.
- Days: Parents can choose to attend a Preschool Pals class 2, 3, 4, or 5 days/week.
- Cost: 2-day classes are commonly $47/mo., 3-day classes are $67/mo., 4-day classes are $97/mo., and 5-day classes are $120/mo. (These rates vary; we’ll teach you how to research your competition.)
- Teaching Time Lesson: Teachers record a 30-minute Teaching Time lesson and email the video to preschool families the night before the scheduled Preschool Pals class so that children can watch it before coming to class.
- Preschool Pals Class: In the afternoon, teachers hold a 30-minute Preschool Pals class time with 10 students per class where the students can interact with each other, socialize, make friends, and discuss the Teaching Time lesson.
- Curriculum: Each teacher chooses her own curriculum, but generally the curriculum promotes kindergarten readiness, is highly engaging, and supports NAEYC’s developmentally appropriate practice.
CLASS SIZES
For your Teaching Time class, there is no class size requirement because you will be sending pre-recorded lessons.
For your Preschool Pals classes, you’ll want to have no more than 10 students in each class so you can easily manage your preschoolers during class. You may feel more comfortable teaching smaller numbers at first, and that’s okay, but I would feature in your marketing “Small class sizes of just 10 students each for maximum 1-on-1 participation and attention with our teacher and friends!”
That way, you might start off with smaller classes of six students, but as you feel more comfortable teaching you can add more students into your classes up to 10 per class. You’ll be holding your Preschool Pals class in a Zoom room, so you’ll be able to easily mute and unmute students.
CLASS TIMES
If you remember, you would create one Teaching Time lesson that you could send to all of your Preschool Pals classes on Tuesday; you would need to create a separate Teaching Time lesson that you could send to all your Preschool Pals classes on Thursday.
Please note that because you’re pre-recording your Teaching Time lessons, you can record them anytime. You could batch record an entire week’s worth on a Sunday during your children’s nap time. It’s entirely up to you and works with your schedule!
While you can structure your online preschool classes with any variation of a schedule that you choose, my recommendation is to hold your Preschool Pals class during the late morning to mid afternoon period, so they can generally span the 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. time zones (10am PST, 11am MST, 12pm CST, 1pm EST).
That way, people don’t have to wake up early to attend, and if their child still naps, they can take a nap afterward. Of course, you can schedule your classes at any time to work with your family’s schedule. If you were going to teach four different T_TH classes of 10 children each, here is one example:
- T_TH 12-12:30 p.m. (Class A)
- T_TH 12:30-1 p.m. (Class B)
- T_TH 1-1:30 p.m. (Class C)
- T_TH 1:30-2 p.m. (Class D)
I realize that not everyone starts off with teaching four classes, however, so I’ve shown a few different examples below. Notice that even if you double your classes, you’re not actually doubling the time you teach because you can record your Teaching Time lessons once and then send them to all classes.
Weekly Schedule for 1 Online Preschool Class per Week
Total Time Required for 1 Class: 2 Hours (10 Students Total)
In this example below, you would be teaching just one class on T_TH for a total of two hours of work each week.
Weekly Schedule for 2 Online Preschool Classes per Week
Total Time Required for 2 Classes: 3 Hours (20 Students Total)
In this example below, we added one more class on T_TH which only added one more hour of work each week.
Weekly Schedule for 4 Online Preschool Classes per Week
Total Time Required for 4 Classes: 5 Hours (40 Students Total)
In this example below, we added three more classes on T_TH which only added three more hours of work each week.
TUITION RATES
Now that you can see how to structure your classes to add multiple students without doubling your workload, let’s dive into the numbers of how you can actually make money teaching online preschool.
The most common prices are shown below, but please note that depending on how much value you add into your preschool (and how niched down your preschool is) will determine how much you can charge. We’ll teach you that later.
- 2-day/week class: $47-$97/mo. (very popular option)
- 3-day/week class: $70-$120/mo.
- 4-day/week class: $97-$150/mo. (popular option)
- 5-day/week class: $120-$200/mo.
Again, remember the reason you decided to start a preschool. If it’s so that you can work less hours and spend more time with your family, an online preschool might be a great option for you because you can hold so many classes without it taking up a lot of your time! If you’re looking to scale your business and teach several classes per day, you can also do that!
Truly, there is no ceiling to this business. If you max out on your own time (or even if you don’t even want to teach in the first place), you can always hire a teacher or two and keep growing your business! In the examples, for simplicity we will add in the most common classes to the schedule: T_TH -and- MWF class. Each class will hold 10 kids.
Monthly Tuition for (2) T_TH Online Preschool Classes per Week
2 CLASSES = $940/mo. (20 children x $47 each)
If you taught two classes on T_TH and charged $47 per child, with 10 children in each class, you would multiply $47 by 20 children. That equals $940 for working just 12 hours per month.
(You would be making $78/hr.!)
Monthly Tuition for (4) T_TH Online Preschool Classes per Week
4 CLASSES = $1,880/mo. (40 children x $47 each)
If you doubled your classes and taught four classes on T_TH and charged $47 per child, you would make $1,880 each month by teaching just 40 children for a total of 20 hours.
(You would be making $94/hr.!)
Monthly Tuition for (4) M-TH Online Preschool Classes per Week
4 CLASSES = $3,880/mo. (40 children x $97 each)
If you offered a 4-day class on M-TH (instead of just T_TH) and charged $97 per child, you would make $3,880 each month by teaching four classes for a total of 40 hours.
(You would be making $97/hr.!)
Monthly Tuition for (4) M-TH Online Preschool Classes per Week
4 CLASSES = $6,000/mo. (40 children x $150 each)
And lastly, if you offered that same 4-day class on M-TH (see example above as the class schedule would stay the same) but increased your tuition to $150 per child, you would make $6,000 each month by teaching four classes for a total of 40 hours.
(You would be making $150/hr.!)
REGISTRATION FEES
If you’re not sending a physical package in the mail, I don’t see the need to charge a registration fee. However, if you’re going to add in massive value into your preschool, you can charge a registration fee of $25-$100 per child while still offering the free trial.
We’ve seen great success with a combination like that, as parents are wowed by the physical materials they get in the mail and will usually stay past the free trial simply for the amazing up-front experience.
In this instance, even when you charge a registration fee (that covers the up-front costs of some of the physical items being shipped to them), you won’t say that the registration fee is paying for the physical items. You would say that the registration fee is simply a registration fee, and everything they get in the mail is “free” or a “bonus.”
LENGTH OF PROGRAMS
We recommend a 9- to 10-month preschool school year and a 2-month summer camp.
AGES OF CHILDREN
AGES OF CHILDREN
You’ll typically teach children ages 3-5, however sometimes you might get “almost 3-year-olds” (make sure they can handle separation easily and they are mature enough to handle preschool) and “older 5-year-olds” (whose parents want to hold them back another year.)
We do not recommend splitting your classes into exclusively 3-year-olds or 4-year-olds. That’s opening yourself up to a 4-year-old wanting a morning class, but they can’t enroll because it’s only for 3-year-olds, so then you lose a student.
OPENING DAY
While you can set up your online preschool business in just a week or two, we recommend marketing for at least 2-4 full weeks so you can actually have multiple students in your classes, not just one or two. The great news is that you can start your online preschool literally any time of year, as it’s less time sensitive than a local preschool. The best times to start are August, January, and June.
TIME COMMITMENT
We’ve seen preschool owners transition their local students online in as little as one week, and we’ve seen them create an entirely new online preschool and enroll students in as little as two weeks.
SUPPLIES
Most online preschool owners choose to do activities that use materials commonly found at home (so there is no need to supply them) while a few choose to mail out kits each month with the materials.
LOCATION
An online preschool can be run inside your home, as the only thing you need is a wall behind you that you can decorate with bright items such as preschool posters, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, etc. If you don’t have an actual wall you can use, you can create a portable wall.
We hope you enjoyed learning how to run your online preschool business, so be sure to check out this article next: Start A Preschool: The Complete 50-Step Guide (Local & Online!)
Preschool and Daycare Teachers Can Start a Preschool
Leah Edwards
I am interested in starting a preschool online
Mary Weiss
What I love about this is that this has taken teaching to a whole different level. The opportunities are endless. There are no licenses needed, no zoning regulations, fire codes to be met because of limited space, and in the condition of society with this pandemic, it allows families the opportunity to provide education for their children in a safe, protected environment, while choosing the way that they prefer their child to be educated. It even allows the families to have direct participation in their child’s learning activities, how amazing is that? This allows teachers, students, and families the opportunity to experience many cultures, and places around the world, while sharing their own culture through building relationships with other children and families withing their virtual class sessions (Preschool Pals). How amazing is that? I am AMAZED!

What I love most about this is the graphics and the clarity on how this can be done. it explains it is doable.
Ashley Gallien
I LOVE the fact that you can have both information on how to navigate through online and local. Let’s say you start with one and you would like to try the other as well. Or either one may not be working out for you as you thought. Making the switch when it comes to info needed is this easy!!
Shunta
Reading the how to set up your online preschool business article takes the guess work out of your life!!!! There is so much here that gives you a reference to potential questions that you may have! This article has helped me to do the same!
What really helped me was realizing that I did not need an 8 hour schedule to make the most impact teaching preschoolers!!!!
Rehanna Allen
I am going to have to go back and continue to read up on this article as I am planning an online preschool business. I have already learned so much so far. Because we are continuing to develop in this virtual world, I figured parents would be more comfortable allowing their children to begin preschool.
Rehanna Allen
I am going to have to go back and read up on more of this as I plan to start an online preschool. As we are continuing to move into this virtual world, I found it best to start out this way. I figured parents would be more comfortable. I have learned so much already from reading this article. I need to get a pen and pad for notes. So amazing.
Brittany Klop

Dana Burton
I teach middle school math and when our schools closed and we had to teach virtually I thought it would be impossible. Although a learning curve it became adaptable and I was able to provide instruction to my students and they achieved success. This is why the online preschool model was so attractive to me. I can’t wait to start next month with the help of this blueprint Joy provided.
Elizabeth Wright
Love the idea that you can start an online preschool with just a lap top and one wall! There’s so many possibilities with different schedules and times. I especially liked the graphs that layed out all the different possibilities with schedules and incomes.
Brenda
Thank you Joy for all the information and steps to do things I thought were impossible!
Felicia
OH YEAH! THIS THE RESOURCES ABSOLUTELY KEEPS ME FURTHER REJOICING!!!! IT WORKS IS ALL I CAN SAY! IT ALL WORKS!
THANKS JOY &!TEAM!
I started using the Motto for my Tutoring a couple of years ago, now I’m still keeping the tutoring, but I’m going to be doing morning and afternoon preschool sessions!
IM MOVING FORWARD TO BEING READY TO OPEN ONLINE PRESCHOOL Soon! Being able to have shortened hours and not be harassed by a principal that didn’t appreciate my services! GRATEFUL! I thank God everyday that I ran across the ad on Facebook a couple of years ago when I did! Grateful!!!
Darlene Williamson
Great information.
Geni Ainge Morse
Online preschool has offered me the ability to provide a niche that is more specialized then my lical presprogram is. My LDS Christian beliefs allow me to offer insight to church members around the world while providing a quality preschool education also.
Nicky Cook
Taking your preschool online opens you to an entire world of customers. It’s truly an amazing field. The steps here will get you right to the starting day of your first filming or zoom meeting.
Tina
Be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to start this business up. The process has taken me longer than I expected with some hiccups along the way. Be patient with the process. It is okay if you don’t start by the original projected date. It is better to have everything squared away than to rush and get flustered and look like you don’t know what you are doing. You’re creating a business that will hopefully last and succeed!
Lisa Wigdor
Online preschool was very challenging during the pandemic so this article gave some great ideas and resources
April B
Knowing how to shift to an online preschool is really worth it’s weight in gold! Because we still live in uncertain times having this information is crucial! I can only imagine having to shift to online learning with my limited knowledge of how to do this but you have given us the blueprint! Thank you!
Naomi W
My SIL and I were just talking about going digital for tutoring my nieces. Great info, thanks for sharing!
Saimah Hameeduddin
These tips and connections with other teachers here really helped us teach remotely and will likely continue to be a huge asset as we enter this omricon surge. Thank you so much for this amazing guide. It’s been one of my favorite parts of your page!
Bryonna Harrington
At this point, the fear and anxiousness is the only thing that would keep one from starting because Joy has laid it all out in perfect order for success! And around here we say feel the fear and do it anyway! Follow the steps local or online and you can’t go wrong! I love this!
LisaRenee Fogarty
If I decide to do online preschool this will be so helpful especially the class size info, time zones which I had never really considered and realize now just how important that is. The fact that the actual tuition rates are given to you…to get an idea is so helpful.
Shana Weldon
The blueprint you provide helped me to launch my online preschool. You have truly led the way to making online preschool a viable option for families.

LaShonda
I started my online preschool in April 2021 I still remember my first day so many emotions. Making it through my first class online was breath taking for me seeing 10 little people excited to be attending preschool. I remembered what Joy had said so many times it doesn’t have to be perfect, yet it was in the simplest way. I followed her steps in preparing my classes and made our encounters fun, exciting and remembered to keep my smile. It was different for me teaching online after many years in a physical classroom, yet it was well worth every moment. I’m learning more and more each day as I continue to improve my brand. Can’t wait to reach the world of young learners.
YummYee’ Cary-Boyd
I never thought about an Online Preschool, because I am so very hands on. But, I loved how the online preschool were options for not being shut down. This is something to think about in the near future. There is a possibility that I could do both online preschool and local preschool just from ALL the information available and well planned out. Thank You for opening my eyes and mind to bigger and better adventures. 😁♥️
Lori Sekol
The online model is what attracted me to this opportunity. I have worked in a classroom setting for many years, and now I am in the stage of life where I need to be home, tending to the needs of my family, but still have an opportunity to make money from home doing what I love! Thank you, Joy!
Janae
What great information
Becky Hellebust
I wish I had this when we went remote! Online teaching is so hard, but everything in this article is great. I loved the schedules. I will tuck this away for future use.
Yuneisy
Amazing resource! I find online teaching a bit intimidating. This makes it seem so doable!
Cordelia Nkembo
I believe that I will love teaching on line! I feel that I will be able to reach 10 times as many children
and also go global. I love how Joy has set up the curriculum and the business portion of building the
online preschool making it less difficult than if we had to start from scratch. This is an amazing opportunity!
Valerie W.
This is so amazing!! I am starting my online preschool this year so this information is absolutely priceless at this time. I know that the transition won’t be easy, but this certainly makes things easier!
Thank you!!!

I will be starting my online preschool in a few days and this information was valuable to me giving me confidence I can do this.
Tiffanie Watts
As we are dealing with this wonderful pandemic, I can’t help but believe an online preschool program would be plausible. Many families have the internet and it would be a viable fill of time. I have participated in an online preschool program with my grandchildren last year and they loved it. Great information for sure.
Kerry P
I used these steps and since August have been running my own Preschool.

Lena
A wonderful step-by-step guide with clear instructions and detailed explanation! Joy has really thought of everything!
Meena S (Meena A on FB)
Online learning has increased and preschool shall not be left behind. This nuts and bolts to starting an online preschool that covers scheduling, tuition, and structure is a life saver in terms of time and brain bad width – less stress for teacher-entrepreneurs in mindfully planning for our businesses to thrive. The best part about this is it allows you to work remotely and flexible scheduling around live or video recordings to enrich the lives of those we serve. Planned right this business model can be beneficial to families on the go but in need for alternative learning for their little scholars.
Jessica Coon
It’s very convenient to have this learning option when life gets chaotic and your a working mom.
jerusha l terry
Having this platform is a great alternative for teachers and parents. The resources laid out are simple to follow and gives one the ability to choose what fits for their family. Thanks Joy!
Kathlene Burton
While I do not currently do Online classes, I have the class model set up should I need to go that direction! We are in ever-changing times and it is great to have alternative options for students and have peace of mind for preschoolers and their families is the most important thing I can do for them and myself!
Chrissy

Jenni
Tons of helpful information!
Lana
This was some great info to consider. An online learning setup would be a good thing to have in your back pocket.
Denyse Martinez
Working in the school system, last year we had to navigate changes. With the pandemic, we went from in person to online using zoom. We learned how to be flexible and give each other grace, as we learned the process. Covid unfortunately became the new normal.
We have been blessed to be back in person, but it could change anytime. I believe that starting an online preschool is going to be essential. It has brought new technology to the forefront & allowed us to continue to educate, our children in ways we never thought possible. The show must go on, as they say. I’m excited about being able to start an online preschool by implementing Joy’s steps, from this article.
Linda Kutner
This is such valuable information if you’re interested in starting an online preschool! Online preschool is in demand! What a wonderful all inclusive website to include online learning!
Courtney Priest
Great charts!
Jayla
I love how the online program even gives you options and things to think about! These articles seriously seem like they will help me as I make this plan.
Richae
I am so in a AMAZEMENT right now. Absolutely every thing I need right here at my fingertips LITERALLY! Joy has set me up for SUCCESS! I Thank you.
Charon Davis
A different way to do things…all in the comfort of your own home!
Alejandra
This is priceless. Just what so many preschool teachers that were forced to teach online during lockdown needed.
Alejandra
Priceless information!
Angel
I’ve always been interested in online preschools, thank you for this.
Jen
Such great information!
Crystal
I love how this explains everything in an easy to understand way. As a former prek teacher turned sahm homeschooling my own children this gives me something to seriously think about.
Jill
While I hope to stay in person I appreciate all the thoughts and planning that went into this. It’s also good information if we need to switch back to online learning once again. Thanks for thinking through so many things!
Sue Koxlien
I love how you did all the math for us to show how much a person could potentially earn! I was just about to start crunching the numbers when I saw you already did! Thanks!!
Just a few years ago I thought preschool could not be done online… well I was wrong. 🙂
I was glad to read about the teachers that switched to online preschool and kept their income when everything got shutdown last year.
Mireddy Benet
Great resources during this uncertain times.
Christine Marte
I am loving that I started my online preschool and had guidance with all of it. I have 4 students online and it is working out. Going into our 2nd month!
Mireddy Benet
Wow, this is a great step by step guide.
Brittany Klabunde
After seeing my living room be turned into a kindergarten class while my husband taught online for 1.5 years, I wish he had some of these tools and guidelines! Definitely will keep them handy! These schedule examples are helpful, being that there are different needs than in person.
Pamela black
These are great ideas. However, I find in person classes to be the right fit for me and my program. I feel a in person experience creates those bonds, and personal connections between staff and children and parents , that online can not! (#giveawayentry)
Jessica Hunt
Such great info for those looking to switch to online. Wow!
Kendra
I love how easy you made this for us!
Susan Pelofske
Good information about online pre-schooling! Thank you Again for such amazing content!
Nikida Norman
this is an important read. I have read and heard of schools closing again on the east coast. If you have a local preschool I would advise you to start preparing your transition now. This article is the perfect example of how to make that happen! Prepare so you will not lose if or should I say when your area shuts down.
Eilleen de Guzman
I am truly thankful for the step-by-step process to start an online preschool. That is what I love the most. I follow before I could become a leader. So thankful for all the resources.
Kia Gray
I love all the resources that was provided. This was the way I got started on my journey! I know what I wanted to do and followed these steps helped me get closer to my goal.

I planted my “mustard seed” in the US soil as an online preschool in June 28, 2021 as I launched my Mustard Seed Garden of Learning Summer Class. I had 11 kids all free for the entire 3-months since my fundraising money paid for them all. Thanks to all my friends and acquaintances who donated and liked/loved/tagged/shared my fundraising link. Thanks also to Sharonda Gray and Sommer Kelly for initiating the concept… and thank you Joy for sharing the value to all of us!

This is definitely a new option for parents of preschoolers who are afraid to send their child to a public preschool at this time. What an opportunity for teachers to do some work full-time or part-time, and you don’t need a degree to do this, just a love for children and a desire to create something for them!
