Kindy by Kindergarten Prep

The preschool curriculum that adapts to your child.

Tell Kindy what your child can already do. Every day it hands you one 10 to 15 minute play-based activity, with exactly what to do and say, across letters, numbers, fine motor, listening and the social skills kindergarten looks for.

How Kindy works

Three steps, then one small thing a day

Kindy is built around what your child can already do, not their birthday. You answer a few questions once, and from then on the plan adjusts itself as your child grows.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your child

    A five-minute readiness check covers letters, numbers, fine motor, listening and the social skills teachers notice first. You see what is already strong and where a little attention pays off most.

  2. 2

    Get a curriculum built around them

    Kindy turns the answers into a plan for your child's level, their age and the time you have. Every skill kindergarten looks for is in it, in the order that makes sense for your child. Your first 7 days are free.

  3. 3

    Follow today's one activity

    Each day you get one 10 to 15 minute play-based activity with exactly what to do and say. Tap how it went, and the plan adapts. Three "Nailed it" ratings and a skill is mastered.
