FAQ
General
My Pre-K Box is best suited for littles aged 3-5 as we focus on early childhood and pre-kindergarten/beginning of kindergarten level skills. In our grownup guide you will find suggestions on how to modify activities to best suit your little one's level.
You can also take a peek at some of the skills My Pre-K Box targets at the bottom of the About us page here!
Due to small parts, My Pre-K Box is not for children under 3. Adult supervision is required at all times.
Each month's box will be filled with early childhood educator and mom-created thematic play-based learning. You'll find multiple pre-kindergarten math and literacy games, a craft, and sensory play! You'll also find all the fun learning tools to go with it! Learn more here.
At My Pre-K Box, we use our experience with curriculum writing, along with our background in early childhood and elementary education to carefully design our unique curriculum that can't be found anywhere else!
We are total dorks for all things early childhood education and love reading up on current research to inform our practices. We focus on standards that are research-proven predictors of future school and kindergarten success.
We're also MOMS! We put our activities to the test against our own active young children to ensure they totally kid-approved!
We can't spoil the fun by ruining the surprise!
All of our themes are carefully selected to be exciting and relevant to your little one! Expect to see seasonal topics of interest (like leprechauns, sandcastles, snowmen, and witches).

My Pre-K Box contains math and literacy games and activities that can typically be shared between two children!
Each box also contains a craft relating to the month's theme! While these can be shared amongst siblings, it can be harder to do.
To minimize the meltdowns and make your life easy, we are happy to send duplicate crafts for siblings (+$3.25/duplicate craft) at checkout!
It's our goal to make your life EASY! With the exception of common household items you likely already have laying around (things like glue, scissors, bowls, and pencils), we include everything you need for prep-free playing and learning!
Simply UNWRAP. PLAY. LEARN.
Absolutely; your gift is sure to impress! Simply select the gift option at checkout.
If you would like to delay when to start the subscription, you can select the date when you would like the subscription to start. This is also the date when you will first be billed. To send the upcoming month's box, be sure to select a date before our cut-off of the 27th. All boxes purchased before the 27th, including gifts, ship the first week of the new month.
Want to send the first box in your subscription to your address and the subsequent boxes to the gift recipient's address? No problem!
Get set up with your own shipping address, and the first box will ship to you. After you receive the first box, simply log into your account (using the icon at the top right corner of our website) and change the shipping address to the lucky kid's address for the future shipments!
My Pre-K Box currently ships to the United States.
My Pre-K Box is a secular curriculum. While our themes may relate to a popular American holiday (such as Valentine's Day, Halloween, or Thanksgiving), there is no religious education in our boxes.
My Pre-K Box focuses on math, STEM, literacy, sensory, fine motor, and art objectives.
We use the latest research and trends in early childhood education to determine not only which skills to focus on, but also how pre-kindergarteners learn them best. We combine our expert experience in early childhood education and curriculum writing with our practical MOM experience to deliver the most kid and grownup-friendly activities!
