Start learning togetherWhat is Preschool Explorers Digital?
Your little one is curious about everything. Singing songs, scribbling on paper, counting their crackers. These years matter more than any other. But between naps, work, and real life, getting to a structured preschool program isn't always possible. What if preschool came to you?
Preschool Explorers Digital is Ms. Monica's complete digital preschool for children ages 3 to 5. Four 8-week learning adventures make up a full school year, delivered through short video lessons with Ms. Monica, hands-on projects, printable activities, and interactive games your child can tap and play. You press play. Ms. Monica does the teaching. Your child learns beside you.
There are no live classes to attend. Lessons begin September 8, 2026, and a new set of video lessons and activities unlocks each week, Monday through Friday. Plan for fifteen to twenty minutes a day, five days a week, following the weekly schedule with flexibility in when you complete each day's lesson.
The same teacher 1.2 million families trust on YouTube, now with a complete preschool curriculum.
What Your Child Will Learn
Five focus areas. One confident preschooler.
Built on the same curriculum framework as Ms. Monica's live programs, and sequenced the way little hands and minds actually develop: handwriting readiness first, letters and sounds from week one, and phonics that builds all year.
✏️
Handwriting (We Start Here)
Little hands learn lines before letters. Tracing, drawing, and building the muscles for writing. By the end of the year: writing their own name.
🔤
Letters & Sounds
Letter recognition and letter sounds from the very first week, growing into beginning sounds, letter families, and their very first sight words.
🔢
Math
Counting 0 to 20, matching, comparing, shapes, patterns, and early measurement, with manipulatives, songs, and games that make numbers make sense.
🔬
Science
Five-senses exploration and themed discovery units: snowflakes and Arctic animals, germs and teeth, robots, life cycles, and water safety. Real experiments sized for age 3.
🎨
Art
Scissors, glue, colors, textures, puppets, and seasonal crafts. Art is how preschoolers build fine motor skills and confidence.
👋
Made for Parents
A weekly parent guide tells you exactly what to do each day. No prep, no guesswork, no teaching degree required.
Sample: What a Week Looks Like
Fifteen minutes a day. That's the whole secret.

Four adventures. One full year of growth.
The journey begins September 8, 2026. A new week of lessons and activities unlocks every Monday, guiding your child through each eight-week adventure in order.

Your child's preschool years are happening right now.
The families who join Preschool Explorers Digital are choosing to make them count. Enroll today and Session 1 unlocks the moment you join.

Built for Homeschool Families
A real preschool curriculum you can point to.

Weekly Skill Focus
Every week names the skills your child is working on across all five focus areas. Easy to log, easy to track.
Printable Portfolio
Tracing sheets, crafts, and completed projects become a natural record of your child's growth across the year.
Flexible by Design
No live schedule means the program fits around your homeschool day, travel, and family rhythm.
A Clear Path Forward
Graduates continue into Kinder Explorers and 1st Grade Explorers, one connected journey from age 3 to age 7.
Note: Preschool Explorers Digital is an enrichment curriculum. Homeschool reporting requirements vary by state, so check your state's guidelines for what documentation is required at preschool age.
2026–2027 Session Dates
Four sessions. One family calendar.
Same calendar as our live programs. Preschool Explorers runs on the exact same session dates as Kinder Explorers and 1st Grade Explorers — so families with children in more than one program follow one schedule, with the same breaks all year.

The most meaningful proof comes from the families who have learned alongside Ms. Monica.
★★★★★
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!"

"What truly sets Ms. Monica's Explorers apart is the love and care she shows each and every child. She's more than just a teacher — she's a mentor, a role model, and a guardian of childhood wonder. I feel grateful to have found this program, and I highly recommend it to any family seeking a nurturing environment for their little ones to grow and thrive."

"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!"
