What is DIGITAL Kinder Explorers?



Structured learning at home. You lead. We hand you everything.

Structure your child can feel. Progress you can see. A clear path from week one to week eight, designed by a Master's-level, dually certified teacher and delivered to your kitchen table.

Digital Kinder Explorers is Ms. Monica's parent-led program for children ages 4 to 5. Each 8-week session gives you a complete curriculum bundle: weekly activity sheets, a step-by-step Parent Guide that tells you exactly what to do each day, interactive digital activities and games, and full access to Ms. Monica's Art Library. You work through it together, on your schedule, at your child's pace.

You are the guide. Ms. Monica provides the plan. No schedule to keep. No long lessons to manage. Just a clear, teacher-created path through phonics, handwriting, math, and science—organized week by week by a teacher who has taught it for 23 years.

The structure of a real classroom. The warmth of your own kitchen table.

You know what you want for your child. You are just not sure what to teach first. Or how. Or when. Or whether what you did this week was enough.

That is not a shortcoming. Knowing what to teach and when is the entire job of a curriculum, and nobody ever handed you one. So here is yours.

You do not need a teaching degree. You need a teacher's plan. This is mine.

What Your Child Will Learn

Every 8-week session covers the skills that matter.

The same curriculum framework as Kinder Explorers — sequenced for the kindergarten years and fully Common Core aligned.

📚

Phonics & Reading

Letter sounds, blending CVC words, sight words, and reading comprehension - sequenced week by week so skills build naturally.

✍️

Handwriting & Writing

Proper letter formation, name writing, and building toward simple complete sentences - practice pages for every week.

🔢

Math

Counting to 100, number sense, early addition and subtraction, shapes, measurement, and patterns - understanding, not memorization.

🔬

Science

Weather, seasons, plants, animals, and hands-on discovery activities sized for home - the "why" questions that make kindergartners light up.

🎨

Ms. Monica's Art Library

Creative art and craft project videos from Ms. Monica's library - included with every Explorers program. Art days, covered.

💻

Digital Activities & Games

Interactive tap-and-play activities on our platform that reinforce each week's skills - on tablet or computer.

How It Works





Four steps. Every week. That simple.

1

Open the Parent Guide

Each week starts with a simple guide: what your child is learning, what you'll need, and what to say.

2

Work the Activities

Print the week's activity sheets. 20–30 minutes a day.

3

Play & Reinforce

Digital games and activities lock in the week's skills  your child thinks it's playtime.

4

Create with Art

Finish the week with a project from Ms. Monica's Art Library. Fine motor skills, disguised as fun.

 You choose the days and times. The curriculum keeps the structure; your family keeps the freedom.

So they walk in ahead.

Whenever they step into a classroom, they will already be ready.

Your child may learn at home all year. They may join a classroom next fall. Either way, the work will already be done.

Reading. Writing their name. Counting past one hundred. Asking the kind of questions that make a teacher stop and take notice.

You will not be hoping they keep up. You will be watching them lead.

Multi-year family · Ms. Monica's Explorers

"Ms. Monica has a gift and a passion for teaching young children unlike I have ever seen before. She has a heart of gold and a soft spot for each and every one of our children — not only allowing them to feel special, but seen, respected, and loved."

We are very selective with where we allocate our early childhood resources. From the very first semester I knew we had made the right decision — and this was only confirmed further every semester and year thereafter. My kids always looked forward to every single day of class, were genuinely excited to learn and even to challenge themselves. That sense of confidence far exceeded any preschool I researched or learned about in conversation with other parent friends.

Both boys entered Kindergarten reading and doing math at full 1st Grade level. "Better than any in-person preschool! Excellent addition to any homeschool curriculum! Just do it — you will not regret it!"

"The pace was perfect and showed how our children absorb the material like a sponge. It was so rewarding to see the progression throughout the entire school year. Ms. Monica has a natural gift and the patience necessary to guide and nurture our little ones throughout their learning journey. We will definitely be returning in the Fall!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from Kinder Explorers?
Kinder Explorers is our premium live program — real-time classes with Ms. Monica three days a week, small groups, and a Physical Learning Kit. Kinder Explorers Digital uses the same curriculum but is fully parent-led: you get the materials, guides, digital activities, and Art Library, and you teach at home on your schedule. No live classes, no video lessons.
Are there any videos at all?
The lessons themselves are parent-led — there is no video lesson library. You do get Ms. Monica's Art Library, a collection of her creative art and craft project videos, included with every session.
Do I need teaching experience?
Not at all. The Parent Guide walks you through every week: what your child is learning, what to say, what materials you need, and what progress looks like. If you can follow a recipe, you can teach this program.
How much time does it take?
Plan for 20–30 minutes a day, 4–5 days a week. You choose which days and times — the curriculum provides the structure, your family provides the schedule.
What's the printed Session Workbook?
It's the entire session's activity pages — professionally printed, spiral-bound, and shipped straight to your door. No printer, no prep. Add it to any session for $49.
Is this good for homeschool families?
Yes — it was built with homeschool families in mind. The curriculum is aligned to Common Core State Standards for Kindergarten ELA and Math, and the weekly structure gives you a clear record of what your child has covered.
Can we switch to the live program later?
Absolutely. Many families start digital and move to Kinder Explorers when a seat opens. Because both run on the same curriculum and calendar, your child transitions without missing a beat.
Can I get a refund?
Sessions are one-time purchases. Partial refunds are available during the first week of each session — you pay for the first week plus an administration fee.
