Virtual Preschool is the best thing that we have ever made, friends! We have taken our 35 years of combined teaching experience in the classroom and have packaged up so, so much of the magic of our preschool to deliver to you, wherever you are. We have created a thoughtful, well-rounded, engaging, sensory-rich, academic, playful preschool curriculum for children ages 3-6, divided into week-long themes.
Each semester has 10 educational, fun weeks of content. Every week includes four 30-40 minute prerecorded videos of Miss Kristian & Miss Michelle teaching, coordinating printable journaling prompts, and weekly lesson plans with educational activities to do across ten domains. We are so excited to bring Friends Preschool to the whole, wide world!

How does Virtual Preschool work?
Each semester of Virtual Preschool has 10 engaging, thematic weeks of content. Each of the 10 weeks has a new theme that we have used in the classroom for decades (so we know they’re kid approved!). With each week of Virtual Preschool, you will have access to:
Videos
There are four videos for each week of Virtual Preschool (40 videos in total each semester). The videos are engaging, interactive, and led by preschool teachers Miss Kristian and Miss Michelle. Each video is bright, educational, and covers a wide range of topics including letter recognition, cooking projects, science experiments, music & movement, storytelling, phonics, art projects, reading stories, and so, so much more. We took the very best, most important parts of preschool and put them into interactive videos and they are an absolute joy!
Weekly Packets
- Weekly Lesson Plan Activities
- Each week comes with a Weekly Lesson Plan filled with 10 hands-on activities for you to choose from to complete with your child. We did the lesson planning for you so you can spend more time creating, playing, and learning and less time in front of the computer scouring the internet looking for educational ideas. The Weekly Lesson Plan activities include the following subjects every week: math, science, art, literacy, fine motor, sensory, dramatic play, music, movement, and nutrition.
- Journaling Prompts
- Four weekly journaling sheets that correspond with the videos of the week. Invite your child to answer the questions and illustrate their responses.
- Weekly Poem
- We learn a new poem each week (and revisit past weeks’ poems, too!). Each week the packet contains a copy of the poem for your child to illustrate and practice at home.
- Letter of the Week
- Miss Michelle studies a new letter each week (and reviews past letters, too!). Each packet has two printable pages for the child to practice writing the letter, practice phonics, and play letter activities.
- Printables
- Printable activities to correspond with video lessons and the Weekly Lesson Plan. We love providing you with supplemental materials to use both during Virtual Preschool videos and at home/in the classroom to always keep your children engaged and learning.

Who is Virtual Preschool for?
The Virtual Preschool videos and the supplemental curriculum resources are designed for children ages 3-6. Whether you’re a family looking for a meaningful, engaging, teacher-guided learning opportunity for your child(ren) to observe and use at home OR you’re a teacher looking for teaching strategies and curriculum ideas – this is for YOU.
What materials do I need?
You will need a device to view the videos (ex: computer, TV, tablet), a printer + paper (don’t worry – there isn’t a lot to print), and other easy-to-access materials (ex: baking soda + vinegar, drawing supplies, collage materials, paper, paint, etc.). Each week’s Weekly Lesson Plan will share ideas on projects to do at home/school, some with no materials necessary and others with easy-to-access, inexpensive materials.
How do we access the videos and handouts?
Each semester has its very own page on the website and will house all of the videos and supplemental materials for the semester. Everything is very easy to access and use. No physical materials are mailed to you, but you can download each weekly packet and save them to use forever.
