How Preschool Power! Works

“That child's about my age and he can do it! I bet I can, too”

All the children in Preschool Power! are ages 2-7 (adults don't appear on camera unless there's a safety issue). They're not professional actors but real little kids -- just like yours.

The little teachers are always 'in command' of the action -- competent, and happily absorbed in what they're doing. They are super role models for your kids: motivating them to watch closely, then get right up to try it themselves.

“So that's how you do it! Now I see!”

We hired a team of certified Montessori teachers to design all the core demonstrations your child will see. This means that each lesson has been carefully thought out and broken down into its smallest component parts. Everything is easy for your child to understand and master, and it also makes it simple for you to set up similar activities at home.

“It's my favorite!”

Recently, one of our producers lent a personal copy of Preschool Power! to her neighbor's 3-year-old A few months later she realized she needed it to check something, so she asked to borrow it back over night.

When the neighbors asked their child for the dvd he grabbed the box, tore out of the room and hid under his bed, clutching the case tightly. He did not want to give it up!.

This made us all laugh -- but it also showed that Preschool Power! works. Yes, it has the ultimate effect of empowering children, but it makes the process a blast by loading things up with interesting costumes, catchy songs and music from all over the world, silly jokes, dance and exercise segments -- all designed to encourage your child to get up and join in the activities they're seeing.

All these elements contribute to making programs your child will want to watch again and again learning more with each showing.

“I want to try it now!”

Your child can learn everything in Preschool Power! on their own-- it's easy for them to quickly master what they are seeing as they gain confidence and understanding of the steps involved.

But you can get even more value from Preschool Power! by watching it with your child. You'll see exactly how to set up any activity your child asks to try at home. And you'll discover tons of new ideas designed to let you and your child interact in very memorable ways.

Little children have the natural ability and intense desire to learn by doing. After watching Preschool Power!, your child will be eager to practice at home. Each skill they master boosts their self-confidence and willingness to try new things.
