Our new Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes is a live and interactive class with no class size limits (student mics are off) for $90 per month, for unlimited access (keep an eye for our promotions and coupon codes for discounts!).

​

Do you offer payment plans?

We offer weekly payment plans for our Private Group Class Packs and can customize the date your credit card is first charged if you are ready to sign up to confirm your child's spot, but need to wait for an upcoming payday. Just ask!

​

 How long is each class?

Your overall experience is 60-70 minutes. Class is 50 - 60 minutes. We start with our Morning Circle Time (25 minute) and take a 5 minute break while remaining signed on Zoom. During the break students can wiggle, dance, go to the bathroom, have a snack, and get ready to continue the fun. The second half of class we engage in projects, art, building, science experiments, cooking, and Spanish lessons. Our Private Group Classes also have one-on-one playdates everyday (up to 10 minutes) with your teacher or a friend from class to build deeper connections and social skills. Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes do not have playdates at the end of class (student mics are off).

​

Is there a sibling discount?

There is no additional cost for students from the same household. Siblings can join at no additional cost!

​

Do I have to start my free trial on a Monday?

No! You can start your trial whenever is convenient for you. We welcome you to enjoy a free trial class to check us out! There are currently no free trials for our new Cloud Kidz Interactive Class membership (keep an eye out for promotions offering free trials). 

​

What if my child does not want to participate?

It takes children time, consistency, and support to get comfortable with interacting online with a preschool teacher seeing and socializing with other peers their age on-screen. Just like in the class room, we advise parents to be supportive and consistent with introducing their child to their new preschool experience (or any new routine!). As educators, we don't give up if a child has a hard day, we support them and practice their new routine and try again! 

​

What happens after my trial?

If you enjoy your experience, we welcome you to choose a monthly subscription plan that fits your family's needs. Our Private Group Classes offer both part-time and full-time monthly subscription plans. Please see our pricing section for more information. Once you subscribe as a member, you may seamlessly continue attending classes. 

​

What are my options to join?

To continue with us after your free trial, you must select a monthly subscription plan. We have both full-time and part-time monthly subscriptions (see our pricing section). Your subscription will automatically renew monthly (every 30 days), and you can cancel at any time (we also provide a prorated refund for full-time students in our Private Group Classes if our holiday closures result in less than 20 days of monthly classes, as we want to ensure you always receive the value you are paying for!). Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes do not offer refunds or make up classes during holiday closures. 

​

Can I cancel?

Yes, you may cancel anytime! You may email us at support@cloudkidzpreschool.com to get assistance to cancel. 

​

Can I get a refund?

We do not offer refunds, but you may cancel at anytime so that you membership does not automatically renew for the next month. For our Private Group Classes members, we do offer prorated refunds if our holiday closures result in less than 20 days of monthly classes, as we want to ensure you always receive the value you are paying for! Part-time students can make up their classes on any day(s) if they are impacted by a school holiday closure. Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes does not offer refunds or make up classes during holiday closures. 

​

How do I logon to join class?

We join as a group each Monday - Friday at on Zoom. We will email you each day the login information along with the materials and printouts you need for class the next day. If you don't see your curriculum email, please check your spam or promotions folder. You may reach out to us at support@cloudkidzpreschool.com for further assistance.  

​

Do I need materials for class?

Our approach to learning is audio, visual, and hands-on. You will receive a weekly curriculum email with information on the daily class agenda, any materials needed for class, as well as printouts. Most materials are items you likely have around your house such as markers, crayons, paper, scissors, tape, glue,, or can get at your local dollar store. Although the materials and printouts are not required to attend class, we do encourage you bring the items as best possible so your child can have a hands-on engaging learning experience. 

​

Do I need a printer?

A printer is not required but it is recommended. Since our approach to learning includes being hands-on, your teacher will email you weekly worksheets and project materials that will support the activity for each day. If you are unable to print your materials for class, just let your teacher know and she or he will adjust their conversation with your child so they remain engaged! 

​

What time are classes?

We have 2 class times daily for our Private Group Classes. Monday - Friday daily at 2pm PST.(these times are in Pacific Standard Time, please convert to your local time zone).  Our Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes  is a new, live and interactive experience online (students microphones are off) offered at 11:15am PST; class sizes are not limited. 

​

Do you close on holidays?

Yes. We are a real preschool with real preschool teachers and follow a traditional holiday schedule. We want to ensure you receive the value you are paying for, therefore for our Private Group Classes, if holiday closures result in less than 20 days during the billing cycle for full-time students, we will provide you a pro-rated refund that month. Part-time students may schedule their classes around the holiday closures as their classes can be used flexible on any days during the month. Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes do not offer refunds or make up classes during holiday closures (we will email a workbook packet of activities to do instead). 

​

How do I choose which days I want to attend?

For our Private Group Classes, you will use our EASY online booking tool to choose which classes you would like to attend each week. You can always reschedule or cancel your class if something comes up (you will never lose your classes, you can always use them on a future day). In Cloud Kidz Interactive Classes, children can attend class as they see fit using the Zoom links in their weekly curriculum email. 

​

What if I can't attend class once I'm a Cloud Kidz member?

You can't make it to class, no sweat! We encourage consistent participation with a routine schedule (whether that's part-time or full-time), but if life gets in the way, we will see you the next day that you can attend! Cloud Kidz Interactive Class members can attend class as they see fit using the Zoom links in their weekly curriculum email (you may also access your class as an on-demand recording to watch classes on your own time that week, if you can't make it to the live class). 

​

Is there a part-time option?

Yes! You have the option to attend 2 times a week or 3 times per week or 4 times a week if a 5 days per week schedule isn't a fit for your family. The 2 days per week part-time schedule provides you 8 classes per month. We will inquire what consistent weekly schedule you would like to attend (so your teacher can prepare for your attendance) but if you ever can't make it to your regularly scheduled class day, we will always allow you to reschedule or cancel and choose a make up class day of your choice.

​

Is full-time better than part-time?

We have observed children are more engaged the more often they attend, as they benefit from the continuity of learning and the consistent routine. 

​

I have never used Zoom, what do I do?

Download the Zoom app on your tablet, laptop, or computer (no cell phones to connect to class please). Zoom will walk you through creating a free account with your e-mail. From there, you will enter in the meeting id and password emailed to you daily to join class every weekday morning. Need someone to walk you through it by phone, no problem! Email us at support@cloudkidzpreschool.com to schedule a walk-through. 

​

Does my child need a computer to attend?

We recommend a tablet, laptop, or computer to attend class on Zoom. No cell phones to connect to class please, we find it difficult for preschoolers to engage with a live teacher and cohort of friends on a small phone sized screen.

​

Are there classroom rules I should know about?

Just like in-person traditional preschool classrooms, once you join, your teacher will welcome you and share the online classroom rules such as muting / unmuting your mic when called upon, raising your hand, being kind to your adult at home assisting you with class, waiting your turn, and so on. No prep work required, you will be on-boarded and welcomed as a new student once you join!

 

Do I need to help my child during class?

Just like in-person traditional preschool classrooms have a teacher assisting children with their learning and interactions, our online classes require adult supervision. During class you may need to assist your child on muting / unmuting their microphone to participate in singing and discussion as well as help children with their hands-on learning (adjusting their pencil grip, assembling their dinosaur's tail, and so on). 

​

What age does my child need to be?

Just like our in-person traditional preschool classrooms, our online classrooms are geared towards a mixed age group. Children range from 3 - 6 years old in our online class. Our skilled teachers are able to adapt their questions, discussions, projects, and directions to keep each child engaged depending on their age and skills. 

​

Is my child really going to get the preschool experience?

Yes! Your child will have a REAL and consistent preschool teacher engaging with your child LIVE daily. Children will have a consistent cohort of friends that they see each day, just like in traditional in-person classrooms. Children will socialize with each other, practice raising their hand, answering questions, waiting their turn, and building their fine motor skills, creativity, confidence, and problem solving skills doing projects, art, science experiments, cooking, music, learning about new countries, and Spanish lessons. Cloud Kidz online preschool is the future of online learning!
