Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Preschool Teacher 101 membership for?

If you’re teaching preschool already, or are about to begin, you’ll find resources that will help you. In particular, our members are people who are looking for hands-on activities and time-saving lesson plans to use in a preschool setting with children between the ages of 3 and 5. These resources will be applicable to public, private, an in-home preschool classroom teachers and their assistants. Each lesson plan set includes a wide range of activities and can be differentiated to meet the needs of many students.

I homeschool my preschool-aged child. Can I join, too?

While a lot of the content would be helpful to you, there is a lot of information specific to teaching in a preschool classroom setting. You are welcome to join and choose from the resources, or you may visit our sister site Home Preschool 101 to see if those resources will better suit your needs.

Is this a preschool curriculum?

Not exactly. It isn’t one massive kit with a set sequence or schedule, but you can certainly map out a comprehensive preschool curriculum by selecting and implementing the lesson plans packets. We’ve even provided a sample curriculum map. Many of our members use it and follow along the same Preschool Teacher 101 curriculum plan together.

These lesson plans are created with a multi-disciplinary approach that will allow you to teach the most essential preschool skills in a playful manner. As early childhood educators with advanced degrees in education combined with classroom experience, we’ve chosen activities that are age-appropriate and effective for preschoolers.

What topics are covered in the lesson plans?

Right now we have opted to do theme-based and book-based lesson plans.

Theme based lessons include an in depth exploration of a common preschool theme (i.e., seeds, apples).

Book based lessons include a wide variety of learning activities based on a popular children’s picture book.

What does each lesson plan packet include?

Each completed lesson plan packet includes hands-on learning activities that teach kids skills in the areas of reading, math, science, sensory play, fine motor, gross motor and more. Within the packet you’ll find:

  • a materials list
  • a completed 5-day lesson plan outline (along with blank templates for alternative schedules)
  • a recommended book list
  • detailed activity descriptions
  • independent activity ideas that can be used for centers or work boxes
  • related printables

That’s a lot! Will it be too much for me to implement?

We did include a lot in each lesson plan packet. We want there to be enough material no matter your teaching schedule. Some teachers have class every day of the week, while others teach two days a week. Some teachers teach a full day, while others run half-day classes. Our lesson plan packets are designed to meet all of those approaches.

Depending on your teaching schedule, you may choose to spread the lesson plan activities out into two or three weeks. We’ve included editable printable lesson plan templates with each pack so you can easily readjust the activities to best suit your schedule.

How long will each lesson plan take?

That’s really up to you. The plans are designed for one week. As mentioned above, though, you can adjust the activities to best suit your teaching schedule, and the sets to include editable templates for fewer days per week.

How does a membership site work?

In a membership site you will log in to a main site and have access to all of the content we have produced for Preschool Teacher 101. We’ve designed special members-only pages where you’ll easily find the information that is available.

And here’s the really exciting part…whenever we produce a new product that will be sold outside of the membership site, you’ll automatically get access to it as long as you are a Preschool Teacher 101 member.

We hope you’ll visit the site regularly, but we know you’re busy. If you’re worried about remembering to visit the site, we’ve got that covered. We’ll be sending you a regular email to let you know about new additions to the member area and any noteworthy events and discussions taking place.

Can I share my lesson plans and other materials with others?

No. We are working hard to create these resources and provide them to you at an incredible discounted rate as a member, and sharing them without permission is a violation of our terms of use. If you love our content and want to share it with others, please refer them to our website so they can become members too. The more the merrier! As a member you are getting access to a massive amount of resources for a fraction of the cost it would take to buy them all individually. We trust that you will respect that honor so that we can continue to provide access at such a reduced rate.

Will the price change?

While we have no plans to increase the rate at this time, the current rate is a steal, and we’ve been advised multiple times to move to a higher price point. As we grow, and the site includes more content, the price may increase for new members. However, you will keep your same membership rate as long as you are a current Preschool Teacher 101 member, so join now to lock in the existing rate.
