Whether you’ve been quarantined at home unexpectedly, have chosen to do preschool from home, or are just looking for some online activities for your 3-5-year-old, here are 8 weeks of FREE virtual preschool videos from a veteran preschool teacher.
The weekly lessons are thematic: each day your child will learn about a new topic based on the theme.
Videos are 30 minutes each and include:
- a welcome song by Nancy Kopman
- songs, poem, and lesson about the theme
- a cognitive game to practice essential skills such as letter ID, letter sounds, colors, shapes, and number identification. We will work on patterns, rhyming, and memory games.
- read-aloud story

You are amazing! My 4 and 5 year old love following your videos every day and the activities are awesome! Thank you for being a blessing to so many during these tumultuous times.
My 3 yr old guy LOVES watching you!! His message to you is: “Hey, I have some fun with you.” Your circle time is a tremendous addition to our daily routine. Thanks for posting activities and other resources.
This is awesome! Where can I see the rest of the days for the virtual preschool?
Thank you so much for this great story/circle time!!! I teach 3 and 4 year olds that have disablitites. I have sent every student/parent this website to veiw while we are out of school. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all!!!
I’m a PreK teacher who will be doing my own virtual story and circle time with my class. Thanks for helping me with ideas on how to go about doing this. It’s awesome!!
Hi Jamie! I love your website and am inspired to use your ideas to provide off site learning for our preschoolers during the closure. My question is, I would like to build a framework for my days in a similar manner to yours. My problem, I have no idea how to build a framework such as yours. I love the way you have them set up and would like to build something similar based on our curriculum. Any tips? I’m not even sure what software to use to build the daily activities page. Tyia

Hi,
My families love your home activities! What are your themes for the rest of the month?
Mahalo for sharing. When I try to type the students name, the format disappears. Any instructions on using and manipulating the printables for each students name?

My co-teacher and I use many of your activities in our classroom! Thank you so much for sharing your virtual preschool- we have been sharing it with our parents and they are thrilled! The kids are recognizing many of the games you play:) Thank you, thank you, thank you! Cant wait to see what week 4 will be:)
Hi Jamie
I’m not sure if this is the best way to get ahold of you but I have a question.
I know we all appreciate all you have done with sharing your virtual preschool. I was wondering if you could possibly supply us with a list of books you will be using as well as felt story pieces and games? I have been trying to get certain books and print off pocket chart games that you are using. It would feel so much better if I had a heads up. I tried to order the community helper puppets but they won’t arrive until the end of April.
Thanks so much for everything.
Sincerely
Sheri Massa
I love the videos, I am a preschool teacher 3 – 5 yr olds. Where did you get your flannel board? Thank you for all the ideas and inspiration. I am hoping by watching you I will be more confident in doin videos to send out.
Jamie, BLESS YOU! You have done an AWESOME job and are a TREMENDOUS help to all of us out here trying to muddle our way through this unexplored territory. Thank you so much for your willingness to help all of us!
Thank you for your time in putting all this together! My 3 year old participates and really enjoys your online sessions. Thank you so MUCH!!!
I am a teacher of preschool and have been loving your weekly units. They have helped so much in my planning. I got a notification that you had 8 weekly units out but I can’t find any after Unit 4. Where can I see these?
Thanks,
Cathy
I just wanted to say thank you so much for these amazing lessons. As a former preschool teacher I know how much time and effort goes into it and I truly appreciate you keeping them free. My two year old looks forward to seeing Mrs. Jamie and Betsy every day so thank you and can’t wait to see what’s next.
Hi Jamie!
Love your page! I have been using some of your virtual preschool activities with my students. I have a couple of questions:
1) Do you know the themes for upcoming weeks?
2) Our district is giving us some funds to purchase supplies and materials for our preschoolers. the typical “school supplies” do you have suggestions on materials that we could send home to our students? I am hoping to do some STEM activities with my students and I don’t want to limit their participation because they don’t have materials to use at home.
Thanks you for any suggestions! Again, I love your page and your videos!
Love these! and thank you!!! But when I download the pages and try to get to the type name part it doesnt do anything?! Any hints? thank you again!

Can you please share your Week 6 Virtual Lesson Plan or post it to teacher pay teacher? I have found your plans and circle time very helpful.

Hi Ms Jamie! How did you make the video with a fantastic intro?
Hi, Ms. Jamie! My 2.5 year old son and I love watching you every day. He is so sad he can’t be at preschool with his sweet teachers, but now considers you his teacher 🙂 Almost every day, I hear him saying, “Ms. Jamie says…” and then refers to something you taught him in a lesson. Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos!!!
These videos are great! I cannot figure out how to play the live video so we can watch the posted video on the correct day!
Be sure to log onto our Facebook page at 11:00 a.m. EST weekdays for the live videos:

How sweet and kind. you’ve made these resources available. Thank you. If I may ask a question. How would I go about doing a virtual “group socialization” activity? Thinking of science for toddlers/preschoolers. Stay safe and Be well!!
Hello Ms.Jamie. My Grandson Khamari Love watching you, He lets me know to watch you every day. Thank you so much for your help while he home with us.
Hi Jamie! My kiddos have LOVED your virtual preschool activities. Are there any plans to create more themes?
Thank you so much for these amazing lessons. Unfortunately, my daughter’s pre-k 4 teacher’s virtual lessons leave a lot to be desired. My daughter is so engrossed in your lessons, and always excited to do the extension activities. It’s obvious that you are passionate about teaching pre-school. Thank you, these are the first videos I’ve found that make me comfortable with how much ‘screen time’ she is getting during this time.
Jamie
Thank you so much for your amazing virtual video lessons you have offered. My preschool kids have absolutely loved the different activities that went along with the themes.
I saw that you are offering a virtual summer package with 50 lessons for $100 can the 25% off from the tpt big sale be used toward that package?
I would really like to purchase that package but I can’t afford to pay $100 for it.
Thanks for all you do,
Susan
We’re playing catch up because we recently found out about you from a friend in New Mexico!
We are in PA. My 3 yr old daughter loves to watch and even her 21 month old brother gets into it! We screen share from my cellphone to our TV.
Thank you so much for sharing!
