What Parents Say about Virtual Preschool:
- “I was worried that being isolated would cause my daughter to regress socially and academically. When my wife “discovered” Play To Learn virtual preschool during week 4 of the spring semester, I was ecstatic!”
- “The best part for me is having a structured way for my children to learn that I don’t have to plan. I love planning learning activities for my children but I didn’t have energy and now I don’t have time, so this has been super helpful for me.”
- “The organization and help it has provided has been so invaluable. Our daughter loves attending every day! The music, the reading time, and the lessons are all great and easy to follow along with. The play packs are also great to give us additional activities throughout the week.”
- “We have loved virtual preschool and the structure/fun it gives us during these uncertain times at home. As a parent, it’s helped me tremendously! It’s taken a lot of the thinking out of the dreaded what to do. We watch Ms Jamie and do fun crafts, games, activities that go along with the theme of the week and what we’ve learned. It’s been amazing!”
- “Thank you does not even begin to express our gratitude for each of you and your passion for teaching young children! We look forward to each day’s episode, we can’t wait to work on the play pack, and read through the extension activity newsletter.”
- “Jamie, I can not thank you enough for going above and beyond the call of duty. My child and I both enjoy watching your videos and doing the play packs together. This is a very strange time for us and you have helped to bring some “normal” back. Thank you from the bottom of this momma’s heart for all you do!”

“My son is forming a bond with Miss Jamie and Miss Nancy as if they were his own teachers. We’ve spent a lot of time “with them” and they are as big a part of his learning journey as his Pre-K teacher was in real life. Thank you!”
- “Thank you for allowing an option to help keep our children engaged and learning all summer long. We take the suggestions for non-screen play and read more books, meet more bugs and play more. Our 3yo is already far ahead of where her sister was at the same age, and we can directly correlate her time with Miss Jamie, Miss Nancy and Betsy Blackbird with her successes.”
