– The coronavirus pandemic continues to reshape and challenge the field of education, especially early childhood education. While the benefits of attending school in person are well known, it is simply not feasible for many children for the remainder of the current schoolyear.
The leading national childcare provider Kids ‘R Kids Learning Academies recognized the need to offer more early childhood education options for children who are unable or unwilling to attend preschool in person and created the Kids R Kids Online Learning Academy.
The Kids ‘R Kids Online Academy is an online learning platform for early learners. It offers a structured and curriculum-based platform that encourages peer and teacher interaction. Preschoolers can practice key concepts in literacy, science, and math while also having fun and improving their social and emotional skills.
The Online Academy features interactive live 30-minute classes, held by a certified teacher, Monday through Friday. The online activities are based on Kids R’ Kids’ exclusive curriculum. Children are free to ask questions and play games as well as participate in arts and craft projects.
Teachers can interact with children online so they can get to know each other and encourage them to participate. Safety and privacy are assured by the fact that there is not a camera or video on the child’s end.
According to one Texas mom, parents and preschoolers are satisfied with the program. “we have felt very guilty about keeping him at home even though we know this is all just temporary. When we heard about the ability to give him 30 minutes of education a day, plus the ABC Mouse account to complement the curriculum, we did not think twice. Not only is this bringing intellectual enrichment to his daily routine but also great STEAM activities that I would just not have come up with on my own,”She posted her message on the Online Learning website.
“This is obviously not the same as getting to physically interact with other children of the same age, but it is a really close second place,”She continues.
Additionally, Kids ‘R’ Kids blogServes as a resource for parent tips, STEAM activities, or other information about school readiness.
Preschoolers can participate in the Online Academy from anywhere in the world.
