Detroit Moms Partner to Start Virtual Circle Time for Preschoolers Who Need Socialization

DETROIT, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- No Fear Café, a co-learning center located in the heart of Detroit, announced the launching of its new online community, "Ready to Learn Circles." Moms and business owners, Alicia McKay and Shanna Sansom, have partnered to launch "Ready to Learn Circles" which is a new virtual program that pairs qualified instructors with early learners ages 2-6, for live, remote, daily Circle Time sessions.

Virtual Circle Time offers the same structure, consistency, and social development found in traditional Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten settings.

Due to the isolating nature of COVID-19 precautions, there is a tremendous need for early childhood experiences that are well-prepared, diverse, engaging, fun, and socially interactive.

Local mom, Jenaie, took advantage of early enrollment and she expressed, "So excited to have found a pre-k circle time for [my son] so that he can engage with other children."

Upon enrollment, all students receive a FREE Engagement Box, which includes several fun thematic items for use during the Circle Time such as small instruments, books, and quick crafts. The first Circle Time will be held on January 4, 2021. In addition, with early enrollment, families will gain access to special virtual events, one-on-one targeted instruction, and homeschool coaching.

No Fear Café believes that "Ready to Learn Circles" is an innovative approach to Circle Time, designed to give participants an experience that most closely mimics face-to-face instruction through song, dance, crafts, imaginative play, and other enriching experiences in the Circle!

"I am proud of our commitment to this important work with early learners," said Alicia McKay, Owner of No Fear LLC, who is Executive Director of "Ready to Learn Circles."

Shanna, Managing Partner feels, "The social needs of early learners are easily overlooked and underserved in remote learning environments."

No Fear LLC's mission is to use its energetic Circle Leaders to demonstrate that learning should be dynamic, interactive, and inclusive. Enrolling students across the country in "Ready to Learn Circles" is one huge step towards that goal.

Virginia Preschool Educator Offers Free Curriculum for Parents Amid Pandemic Woes

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- The best teachers truly care about their students' lives both inside and outside the classroom, and Denise Shields of Creative Kids Preschool -- and now also Creative Kids Virtual Preschool -- is proving that by her actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a press release from the school.

Shields, a longtime educator based in Fredericksburg, Va., has announced that she is offering to parents, at no charge, her virtual preschool curriculum for children ages 3-6 including 40 core online lessons, 40 at-home crafts & projects, and 40 online story time books to supplement learning. She knows how much the assistance is needed for parents with young children at home, due to social distancing to guard against the spread of COVID-19.

Shields founded Creative Kids Preschool in 2011. She sees teaching as her calling and not just a career.

"I've been teaching preschoolers out of my home right here in Fredericksburg, Va., for the past 12 years," Shields said. "What an honor and privilege it has been to teach and prepare hundreds of young boys and girls for their next journey to kindergarten and beyond.

"This past spring, like most schools nationwide, I had to abruptly shut down my preschool because of COVID-19. It was devastating at first; Creative Kids Preschool is my life and passion and I love my preschoolers," she said.

"However, I quickly put together a solid online preschool program for my pre-k students and together we made the adjustment," Shields added. "I've decided to share my entire fall online preschool program at no charge."

Through this effort, Shields and Creative Kids Virtual Preschool offers a full quarterly curriculum with 40 full-length preschool lessons that include activities, educational games and story time books. Each virtual lesson is about 30 minutes long. They are theme-based, and the themes include Animals, Colors, Farm Life, Insects, Dinosaurs, Seasons, Nutrition and Pets.

At Creative Kids, students get to know Miss Denise and Ollie The Crow as they lead children in daily 30-minute virtual online learning using art, music, puppetry and engaging stories to help the youth develop the skills needed for kindergarten and set the foundation for future learning.

"Your child will love the educational, fun and stimulating theme-based lessons, giving them the early tools and support they need for their healthy development," said Shields.
