The At-Home Curriculum that Moves, Educates, and Entertains
Here's the bitter truth. Most of the TV and Youtube shows your child watches are little more than mindless eye candy - even the ones advertised as "educational." But now you have access to a high-quality preschool program at your fingertips - that your child will actually be begging for.

To the busy parent of a 2-5 year old
Hey there! Lisa here!
I am thrilled to have you here. Whether your child is at home with you or in a local preschool, I want to help you transform learning for your preschooler. And I really do mean TRANSFORM.
Like you, I really wanted to nurture a love of learning in my children (I have five myself).
I tried all kinds of methods to teach my kids during their preschool years: curriculums, workbooks, worksheets, apps, learning shows, random ideas from the internet, etc.
But, sadly, none of these worked for us for very long.
The kids loved each new program at first, but soon got bored and treated it like a chore. And I always got too busy with life or too tired to maintain it.
I later learned that all of these approaches suffered from one of two major flaws:
They weren't TRULY developmentally appropriate for the natural needs of preschoolers
They relied too intensively on me as a busy parent to be the "middle man" of all learning for my child.
Without a good learning-based system for our family, we often spiraled into bad habits. The kids fell deeper into sedentary screen time. They became less curious. There was a lack of creative, imaginative, and physical play. And I was racked with guilt over how uninspiring our life at home had become. I knew my kids deserved better.
Finally, after a lot of struggling, I stumbled upon a new approach to teaching preschoolers that transformed my kids and our life at home. It changed everything I did, both at home and in my professional teaching.
I now call it "adventure-based" learning, built on the power of movement, play, and imagination. It makes learning come to life!
I want you to know that you can transform learning for your child too. And it is super doable, even for the busiest of parents.
Here is my guarantee for your child...
In just three months of doing Movin' Monkeys Preschool (playing about three videos a week and doing a few related play prompts), your child will:
Develop a deeper love of learning. They'll be asking YOU when they can do their next class.
Have more confidence in their letters, letter sounds, numbers, shapes, and colors, proudly showing them off to you.
Be more active and find more joy in physical movement, action songs, etc.
Play in the real world more creatively and imaginatively than before.
I'm confident you are going to love it. In fact, I even guarantee it. If you give the program a good solid try and don't get the above results, I will personally refund all your payments to you.
Yes, you heard that right.
This is truly risk free to get the learning results you want for your child.
And if you keep with it, you won't believe how smart and confident your child will become over time.
I encourage you to learn more about this program and see if it is right for you.
Trust me, a few months from now, you will be so glad you did.
Happy adventuring!
Lisa

Who is Movin' Monkeys Preschool for?
Families with children ages 2.5 to 5 years old. Younger and older children enjoy it as well!
Families wanting an EASY preschooling-at-home approach that emphasizes playful academics, movement, and imagination.
Families wanting to supplement the education a child is receiving at a local preschool/daycare.
Schools and daycares looking for engaging educational programming to use in the classroom with their students.
Who is this program NOT for?
Those who want lots of worksheets and handwriting drills (we use more playful, developmentally appropriate ways to teach preschoolers)
Those who prefer to have their child sitting down in a chair
Those who prefer traditional teaching practices without movement, imagination, playful academics, and learning adventures

What are the classes like?
Each of our classes are 30-40 minutes long, with three themed classes per week (although you can do them at whatever pace you want).
On Days 1 and 2 of each week your child will have Movin' School Days, with
Academic time
Song time
Game time
Theme time
Movement challenge time
Mat time
Story time
Then Day 3 is Movin’ Field Trip Day, where your child will get to apply all the knowledge they’ve learned on a fun movement-based adventure! Don't miss out on these feasts of movement, music, and learning!
How do the classes progress?
Much like real school, our curriculum builds in complexity over time, so the classes are sequenced starting with Week 1. We provide sticker chart “maps” to help guide and motivate your child on their class journey.
Members have access to our entire library of classes, so you can go in the recommended order or jump around and repeat classes for more fun and practice!
Our curriculum themes are not seasonal or school-schedule dependent, so you can become a member at any time without worrying about being off track.
What do I need for the program?
We keep things crazy simple here. All you need is:
A preschool educational mat you can grab off Amazon for around $35, which is key to help your child physically interact with letters, numbers, shapes, and colors in our program.
Basic school supplies (paper, markers, crayons, scissors, etc.) and things from around the house. Please see the supplies page for more info.

Why Movement?
All learning begins with the body. In order to learn, a young child needs to see, touch, and interact with the world through the senses. Movement makes all those interactions possible.
Because of this, the brain of a young child prioritizes MOVEMENT above all other developmental tasks. Movement is truly the universal first language of all children, and all learning builds from that foundation.
Harnessing the natural need for movement is the key to unlocking your child's learning potential. You'll be amazed by how much more your child will learn compared to traditional "watch and listen" teaching methods.

Who is the teacher?
Lisa Hyde (Miss Lisa) is a professional preschool educator, preschool movement expert, and a mom of five children.
In her desperate search to help her own developmentally-delayed child, she discovered the incredible power of movement-based methods and how they transformed her daughter's learning as well as other children she taught. She soon began using movement-based practices in all of her teaching.
She has been teaching her unique, movement-based preschool program in schools, daycares, homeschool groups, events, and virtually for the past seven years.
She received her Master of Public Administration degree with an emphasis in pediatric public health.
She is passionate about helping to transform preschool learning approaches and making preschool more accessible to families all over the world.

What will my child learn?
So much! Your child will learn letters, letter sounds, literacy skills, numbers and numeracy skills, shapes, colors, patterning, rhyming, auditory awareness, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, lots of music, and stories!
This program is academically rigorous, but we are super sneaky about it. (Shhhh!) We do it all through engaging movement activities, games, and adventures that always keep your child having a blast!
Our robust curriculum is based on extensive research and best practices in early childhood education, but with our specialized Movin' Monkeys twist that skyrockets your child's learning.
How much will I need to help my child?
We designed this program to allow your child to be as independent as possible so you can hopefully get other things done!
But some caregivers like to be fully involved and help add to the fun and learning! We fully support both approaches; all are welcome here! :)
Younger children or those with shorter attention spans may need more support.
The optional Play Prompts are generally quick with little to no prep, but sometimes involve setting up quick little games or challenges that require help from a parent.
What if I have multiple children that want to participate?
Family learning time is the best! And your membership is good for your whole family, not just one student! (Those individual tuition fees add up!)
Ideally, we recommend a mat for each student, but you can have them share if you like.
"This is making such a difference for my daughter."

Is this a fitness class?
Movin' Monkeys Preschool utilizes many fitness techniques, but it is not a fitness class. Rather, it is a movement-based learning approach designed to maximize engagement and learning in your child.
Your child will be alternating between movement activities and thinking activities. They will spend time moving on their feet, moving down on their mat, participating in action songs, as well as playing engaging guessing games. They will also participate in storytime at the end of class, a sit-down activity allowing your child to fully focus on their language, literacy, and story comprehension skills.
All these activities are designed carefully to help your child engage, learn, and think in powerful new ways.
What if I don't want too much screen time for my child?
Way to go! We are on the same page. Children absolutely need to live, play, and learn in the real world to meet their developmental needs.
We have designed our program to be within healthy limits: just 30-40 minutes of excellent, movement-based preschool time, followed by brief play prompts that encourage real-world play. We discourage over-consumption of our content.
And while our program does exist on a screen, your child will not be consuming our content in the typical passive way. Your child will be up on their feet, jumping, kicking, spinning, and yoga posing. They will be answering questions and playing real games. We think that if there is an allotment in your day for good screen time, Movin' Monkeys Preschool should certainly qualify.
What if I already have my child in a local preschool?
Excellent. Many of our families participate in both a local program and Movin' Monkeys Preschool for its many academic, movement, imaginative, and convenience benefits.
For example, in comparison to local preschools, our program provides:
Quicker and deeper learning of academic concepts
More concentrated learning (less distractions from other students, misbehavior, etc.)
Increased efficiency (less class time spent on classroom logistics, bathroom times, etc)
More convenient scheduling and timing
Less commute and stress
Safer environment when there are health concerns
Better transitioning into real-world play at home
Movement-based learning approaches that aren't available in schools
Better opportunities for imagination and creativity
More affordability
We invite you to give the program a try to see all these benefits in your own child and family life.

What are the play prompts?
Play Prompts are your new best friend! They are quick, optional, 2-3 minute videos introducing your child to fun play activities they can do, as inspired by the themes of our preschool class videos. They are perfect to do once your child has finished a class to enrich and extend the learning.
Play Prompts feature physical play, art, science, building, literacy, numeracy, nature, dramatic play, and more! The ideas are directed to your child and always simple using basic household supplies.
Check out the video to see what Play Prompts are like!

Can I really preschool my child this way?
Yes! We pride ourselves in being the most effective but also EASIEST virtual preschool system around. No need to sweat! We'll do the planning and teaching. You just be there to provide love and playful support - you know, the parent stuff.
We give you everything you need to effectively preschool your child easily at home, including our class videos, play prompts, game card system, sticker charts, supply checklist, assessment tool, and more.
