For Parents- 6 ways to keep your Preschool kids engaged and learning while they are at home!





Monica Levy- Preschool coach and  certified educational trainer works with preschool children throughout the NY area. She specializes in children with special needs.



Relying on the ipad or computer is not enough! Experts say no more then one hour per day and it should include your input!



Preschoolers need interactive hands-on  play
But how can you do this if you are also working from home, or just don’t know what to choose?  
This disruption to their routine can be stressful, anxiety producing and
trigger challenging behaviors.
But, it can also be an opportunity to enhance the bond you have with your child
and reinforce the learning she/he will be missing at school
Here are some suggestions!

Simple activities and chores can become ways for your child to practice fine motor skills, math skills, as well as help you in your daily routine.

Taking a clue from the way teachers create a structured day, plan different activities for your child from hour to hour. 

Using household materials, create activities to reinforce learning and independence- I can show you 3 simple projects you can do with materials you have at home

Plan reading time that incorporates interactive q and a like teachers do! This reinforces memory, literacy and high order thinking. I can show you how to ask the right questions! 

Get open ended materials such as blocks and play dough. Give your kids creative challenges with these materials to inspire them. If you don’t have these at home I can show you how to make them!


Include structured physical activities in your daily routine.
I can share my favorite activities with you- that kids love and that will keep them busy and learning!
