About CHALK Preschool Online

 

“CHALK Online developed on the heels of the success of Chalk Preschools, a group of high-quality educational brick-and-mortar locations within Chicago and Los Angeles.  As children’s understanding of technology has exploded and the demand for exceptional children’s programming is at an all-time high, the founders realized a need existed for a fun, affordable and accessible digital learning environment.

Chalk is now one of the first (if not the first) online children’s edutainment program created on and in the classroom. The Chalk Online team spent nearly 3 years and almost 100 hours with children and teachers in their schools to create the Chalk experience at a fraction of the cost of their traditional program.

 

A supplement to preschool learning, the comprehensive curriculum will reinforce core subjects including literacy, math, science, and music, as well as offer hands-on art, healthy cooking lessons, exercise demos, and more.

 

Specialized programming includes two original 30 minute series, “CHALK-Lets” and “What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up,” hosted by young star Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy), who interviews everyone from Master Lego builder David Howard to Nancy Cartwright – the voice of Bart Simpson. There is also a fully-customizable playlist so that parents can focus on specific topics of interest or need.”

 

How much does it cost?

The subscription-based CHALK Preschool Online is $11.95 per month.

The Story Behind CHALK Preschool Online

(Quoting from their site)

“In 2004, three people came together with a shared ambition to create an educational curriculum, environment and space that would set a new standard for all preschools. We named it CHALK Preschool. In 2005 the first CHALK Preschool opened in Illinois; we were blown away by the demand for our product—warm, welcoming, loving teachers and staff who incorporate core curriculum goals based on early childhood learning standards and the arts within a loving, stimulating environment. CHALK believes in providing a well-rounded, structured education, enhanced with play and creativity. Learning becomes play and play becomes learning.

Our high standards in education and our care for aesthetics, backed by an amazing experience for both children and parents has kept CHALK thriving and expanding. In 2006 the first CHALK Preschool in Chicago opened to an enthusiastic reception and excitement for a fresh “face” on the preschool scene. Due to high demand, a second Chicago location opened in 2007. By 2008, we were flooded with requests for CHALK Preschools in other cities and states. We responded by opening a CHALK Preschool in Los Angeles, California in 2009. In 2011, we opened more CHALK Preschools in both Chicago and in the Los Angeles area.”
