The Virtual Preschool Experience
What is Included in Virtual Preschool?
Our virtual preschool program was created to provide comprehensive early childhood education for whole-child development. The program lasts for the whole school year and it is structured the same way as in person school with an hour of core curriculum (language, phonetics, reading, STEAM, spanish), followed by an hour of enrichment (music, art, theater, movement, yoga, dance, nutrition) and an hour of focused play. This means up to an hour of video lessons and 3-4 daily Live Classes via Zoom with our Playgarden Prep teachers, weekly playdates to socialize with friends, and hundreds of activities, games, projects, books and parenting advice in our well-being section. Families also get access to our video and music libraries as well as our Kids Corner, where little one can spend time on their own while parents get some time to get things done. You also get feedback from teachers when you upload your child’s completed worksheets, and see progress reports in your Student Cubby. When you enroll your child to our Virtual Preschool you will receive at home a backpack with school materials and the first workbook. We will keep on sending you worksheets and workbooks through out the year to make sure your child gets the full preschool and pre-k experience at home.
Our program has been proven after over a decade at our in-person NYC schools.
At Playgarden Prep, you get access to Elite teachers.
All our teachers are the same teachers that teach in our NYC preschools. They are experts in their subjects and have years of experience teaching preschool children. When you join our virtual preschool your little one gets to learn from diverse teachers in individualized videos, they interact with their teachers on the Live Zoom classes and they get feedback from them throughout the year through progress reports and the completed worksheets. Children really bond with their teachers in the Virtual Preschool, while parents get their expert advice.
What are the Daily Lessons like?
Each of our video lessons was designed to keep your child engaged, while learning about various subjects from a Playgarden Prep teacher. Because these lessons are pre-recorded, you can pause or rewatch at any time! We cover all of the core subjects to make sure that your child meets all of their developmental benchmarks: language, math, science, reading, geography, art, theatre, movement, sensory, and nutrition. All of our virtual preschool curriculum comes from our in-person preschool lessons taught at our NYC schools. The program also includes features, like:
- Hands-On Activities: One of the most important components of any preschool experience is hands-on learning. We offer custom virtual preschool workbooks and worksheets, DIY games and crafts, art and sensory projects, and more!
- Online Worksheets: Your little learner will complete online worksheets to help build cognitive skills. These worksheets are designed to test the subject(s) covered during each Daily Lesson; test what your child retains from each subject!
- Edu-tainment: Many children today are obsessed with their screen time. Why not turn this into something positive? We offer videos that entertain, to keep your child motivated and instill an early love of learning.

A Unique Benefit of Virtual Preschool & Virtual Pre-K—It Works for Different Types of Learning
As a virtual preschool, or preschool online, we are not limited by group sizes, all children can learn at their own pace and all children can choose to focus on what they like or need. We are also a Montessori based preschool which means the focus is on individualized learning and supporting children as they grow.
All students have access to our multi-year comprehensive program that we created over 15 years of in person teaching in our preschool and pre-K programs in NYC. This, combined with our proprietary technology platform, allows us to support different kinds of learning needs and styles at home.
GIFTED CHILDREN
Does your child show signs of being developmentally advanced? Gifted children are in the 98th percentile in terms of learning abilities, in one or more core subjects. Some states and countries consider them special needs students since they have learning needs that can’t be met in a regular preschool or Pre-K class. Our virtual preschool platform and programs help with that.
- Total flexibility as students can complete the pre-recorded lessons as quickly as they like
- Students have access to an advanced curriculum from our elite NYC pre-k programs
- Lessons are focused on concrete learning in core subjects following our academic preschool curriculum
- Children also have access to arts, music, and other creative learning outlets
Consistent ways to stay engaged!
LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Would you like to give your preschooler extra help with language development? Recent studies are finding that children who started school during the pandemic need intensive reading help. In our preschools, we have seen the incoming classes (toddlers 20 months to 3 years old) are indeed coming in with a lower level of language development than in previous years. We developed our virtual preschool platform to provide that extra help with language and literacy.
- Our teachers provide clear and visible articulation in all the lessons
- Daily lessons emphasise literacy and phonetics
- Children can repeat lessons as many times as they want or need
- We have hundreds of interactive and classic book readings
- Our zoom lessons and recorded videos also provide social and emotional developmental tools
We provide opportunities for families to Play and Learn together, which at the end of the day is the best way to learn.
LEARNING DISABILITIES (LDs)
At playgarden prep online, we help with speech and language delays and communication challenges. We created a specialized speech and language classroom in our preschool location in NY, where we provide an academic preschool curriculum that supports speech and language development. We incorporate that preschool and pre-k curriculum in our online program, with additional tools and support.
- Flexible, pre-recorded lessons that can be completed at your child's pace
- Different areas of focus, with special emphasis on language and literacy
- Repetition through diferent media using videos, songs, and worksheets
- One-on-one tutoring alternative
- Access to Playgarden's developmental experts
Let your child learn what they need, when they need it!
AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD)
Is your child on the autism spectrum? In an online preschool, among other things, they don't need to stay seated to learn! Our online preschool program provides autistic students with:
- Consistent daily routines
- All lessons are pre-recorded providing flexibility to pause, restart, rewatch or watch continously based on a student's focus
- We teach our content through rythm and music as it promotes various domains of development
- Our mobile platform allows children to stay active and find a sensory friendly setting at home
- Ability to incorporate Individualized Education Plans, similarly to in person preschool and pre-K
- Sensory DIY projects and activities
- Access to Playgarden's developmental experts
