DO'S AND DON'TS OF PLAYGARDEN PREP ONLINE

EXPECT
Your little one to socialize, have fun, spend some energy, be focused for 30 minutes, reinforce his/her learning via Zoom
WATCH
As much as your little one wants to do that day, skip to the next day, you can always come back so you can finish a puzzle, get a new patch
EXPECT
To see significant progress, stick with it, you'll definitely see how they learn and grow (upload the worksheets to see for yourself)
SET UP
A routine of class everyday, set up a learning corner to watch the videos in the same place every day - as with anything new, it takes a little time getting use to it. 100s of Kids love these videos and our teachers!

DON’T EXPECT
Your little one to learn exclusively via Zoom - They are too young to sit down, absorb information and interact in a formal educational setting via Zoom - it JUST DOESN'T WORK
DON’T FEEL
Pressured to do watch all the Lessons and Activities in the Daily Lessons, every day
DON’T EXPECT
Your little one to stay inside the lines doing the worksheets, do them all correctly at the beginning - Doing stuff with them is more important than getting it right
DON’T FEEL
Your little one is not engaged by the vidoes and give up
