Company Bio: “When my son was 18 months old, I quickly realized that parents are the most important teachers. I spent countless hours scouring stores for tools to teach the alphabet, teach counting and teach reading. When I could not find one kit that did it all, I began creating my own teaching tools that matched some of the tools I had purchased. My son was reading by the age of three and parents at nursery school were asking how I had taught him. It was at this point that I learned “matching” was a key pre-reading skill for young children.
I began structuring focus groups with moms and playgroups to develop an all-in-one learning kit for toddlers. Using the knowledge I gained from the focus groups, I evolved the teaching tools into a coordinated set and called it Teach My Toddler. The overwhelming success of Teach My Toddler in helping parents give their children a head start had me fielding demand after demand for a kit that could be used with babies and another one for preschoolers. I have continued my passion and created the Teach My series including add-on sets and soon an educational bath and travel line of products!”

Personal Experience: With Xander quickly approaching four and a local school district with only a need-based preschool, I have been seeking out ways to help my son keep up with his peers from home. This is why I was very happy to have the chance to explore Teach My Preschooler! Teach My sent us the complete preschooler kit in exchange for my opinions.
The Teach My Preschooler kit is comprehensive and flexible. It includes four basic subject kits: Numbers, Math, Reading, and Printing. Each kit comes with a variety of materials that can be used in creative ways. All of the pieces can be stored within the included heavy see-through envelopes with velcro closures. Each of this envelopes fit neatly into the handy box with a snap closure and handle. The design of the kit made it very easy to keep everything neat and tidy. We could also easily grab it and bring it to wherever we wanted to learn that day. Some days we are more productive at the dining room table and other days are better for learning in the yard. 
The cards, transparencies, and books were all made of nice thick material. Even with that preschooler tendency to grab things too tightly, the cards have held up well without creases or bends. The letters are a heavy foam material. With our past history with foam toys (and a $3000 emergency surgery for our foam-eating cat), I do wish these were made of something like plastic. I would have loved to have seen a set of letters with the reading kit. I think spelling out the words he is learning with physical letters would help Xander learn even more.
Xander’s favorite was undoubtedly the magnetic board used for practicing his printing. It was also one of my favorites for its versatility. The kit includes transparencies with all the letters and numbers as well as practice sheets that get your child acquainted with basic letter strokes and shapes. It was a lot of fun for Xander to trace out the shapes, letters, and numbers and then pull away the transparency to see his work. He hasn’t ventured away from the tracing much yet… except to scribble… but we are making progress with more recognizable shapes and patterns emerging. I just wish the “pen” on these boards was a bit sturdier, because the magnetic tip broke early on. Luckily, we had a spare from another board.
A note on the transparencies: The first set I received was defective. The printed on letters would peel off as Xander would try to trace them. I contacted Teach My with my concerns and they informed me that some bad kits had gotten through inspection. They quickly sent me a new set. That second set had an even better magnetic board and the transparencies worked beautifully.
There were some basic instructions to get us started, but I think a more comprehensive lesson plan (even as an extra cost) would be a great addition to help those of us with less knowledge of what today’s preschooler needs to know. That being said, it has been a lot of fun finding different ways to use the elements of the kits. I really feel as though Xander has improved by leaps and bounds on some things that I knew he was trailing in… particularly numbers beyond 10 and beginning printing skills. I also love that there is no batteries or devices needed. Sometimes “old school” is still the best way. 😉
I’m still amazed at the low cost of this kit. You get so much and the materials are of such good quality that I’d expect it to be at least $20 more. I also like that you don’t need to buy the full kit… they have subject kits available individually. You can also give your baby or toddler a great head start with similar kits. I wish I had known about this company 3 years ago!
Pros: A great, comprehensive kit for teaching several aspects of preschool. Easy to use and flexible to suit your needs. Bright and sturdy tools within the kit. Teach My also offers kits and value packs for baby and toddler.
Cons: I would love to see a more complete lesson plan to work from. I wish the “pen” for the magnetic board was a bit more sturdy.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU INTERACT WITH YOUR PRESCHOOLER with your Learning kit wish i had something this cool when my kids where that age Blessed Be
I love that this is at a great price and seems to be worth the money! I also love the transparency thing to teach them to trace stuff and what not. I’ve been trying to come up with a creative way to help my oldest learn how to draw certain shapes, letters, and numbers besides the dry erase board because after a while those books get kind of nasty looking. This definitely looks like something that I need to invest in!
Great giveaway!!
I like that this kit is comprehensive and easy to use.
I love these learning kits. It would be great for my granddaughter. Looks like a fun way to learn
This set sounds so nice and is very affordable for all the info you get in the kit. I really like the magic board too. Looks like it would help make learning fun.
I love learning kits that make great gifts!
I would love to win this for my daughter. It seems very simple to use and I love anything that will help her to learn!
This is really cool looking, I think it would be good for my twin boys. The price isn’t bad either, and as we don’t have a cat right now (although would love to have one) the foam pieces shouldn’t be an issue.
Thanks for a great review! Would be perfect for my preschooler. I been working on writing and alphabet and numbers with him!
I love this, the number train looks super cool, would love to see it. I magnetic boards all the time in my vpk class, the kids love it!
I think this looks like such a fun kit. I am just starting to homeschool my little girl and am looking for any great helps I can find.
my grand son is so energectic an loves to learn and explore this will make a great addition to enhance his abilities.
I really enjoyed your review on the Give your child a great start with Teach My Preschooler! This Sounds like a terrific way to get your preschooler ready for kindergarten! Sometimes when you don’t have anything to “follow” it can be difficult to teach them when it comes more so on the writing end! I know that my grandson is gong to be 4 and he can count I think to 100. I know he knows his ABC’s and his colors. I know she was trying to teach him how to spell his name. He can spell it out loud, however, I don’t know if he can print it or not yet. This would be a terrific tool for my daughter to teach him more! They are an “Army” family and just recently moved again. My Grandson has asbergers (spelling?) which is supposed to be the highest functioning form of Autism. He’s a very intelligent kid! He just needs to get settled down long enough to pay attention! Thanks so very much for this review and the information! I truly do appreciate it! Thanks again, Michele
As I was looking at this review my son (almost 3) walked up and asked for one, haha! I’m surprised it doesn’t seem very expensive, but looks pretty durable and long lasting. I would totally buy this!
Love, Love, Love this! It would be perfect for our Mommy School! So many goodies! I love teaching my monkeys with super cute, super fun and super cool learning manipulatives! I think the managdoodlish thing to practice letters in awesome! Thanks for hosting this contest! Your incredible!
This looks like it would be just the thing for my grandson. Having fun while learning.
This sounds like a wonderful learning kit – and something that would come in very handy for me. I would use it to help the special-needs foster children who will be coming to live with me soon!
This would be perfect for my family! I have a 4 year old girl that is in preschool and 3 year old boy that is very interested in learning.
This would be great for my friend’s son. He has started preschool but gets upset on weekends when he doesn’t have school. With this being learning activities like the school has maybe he would enjoy getting to do this.
These kits sound great for the extra learning kids can use in todays world gives them a head start . My grandkids would love this
This sounds like it would work great for my 3 year old that is trying to write and is already falling in love with math.
WHAT A GREAT KIT FOR PRESCHOOLERS I HAVE A 2 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER THAT WOULD LOVE THIS SHE LOVES TO LEARN ABOUT EVERYTHING SHE CAN, SHE LOVES TO LOOK THROUGH BOOKS AND COLOR
My grankids would like using this. Looks very fun and interesting.
I love that these would make very cool gifts!
This is such an exciting giveaway! This is my first year homeschooling and it will be such a huge hit compared to mommy winging it :)!
First I would like to say this is an awesome review! Also, I am a homeschool mom and believe in the power of at home learning. This is an excellent package and would love for my niece to use this as she gets to this age. Thanks for sharing!
My son has just been diagnosed with some developmental disabilities and we are trying to get him to interact with us AND practice his motor skills. We need all the help we can get and I am glad we would be able to pack this up and go to all or our appointments.
I think your review was really great and you were honest about the first kit being defective and that Teach My did send out another kit. You told was about the pen not being that well made. But that being said, I think this would be a great kit for the preschoolers because they teach them so much and they want the kids to know so much when they enter kindergarten. I would love this kit for my great nephews that I spend a lot of time with that needs that extra help.
My 4 year old granddaughter would love working with this kit. Her and her mom are always doing projects together and I think this would be a great idea for them.
Great learning tool
I like these type of kits. They are really good for kids to learn. I like the magnetic board. Great for practicing letters and such.
First, I like that it comes in a nice box that we can keep everything together and organized in. I also like that it teaches without feeling to much like work and more like play.
I would absolutely love to have something like this! I am homeschooling for the first time and any help that I could get would be awesome. I love the letter writing pad, my daughter would love that!
Wow! This would be super helpful for both my 5 year old currently enrolled in preschool and my 3 year old who will be starting soon. Thanks!
This looks like a wonderfully creative kit. I’m sure it would make learning fun for preschoolers and I especially like how neatly the supplies can be stored in the clear envelopes. I would love to use this kit with my little granddaughter!
I think my son who has ASD and his ABA therapist could benefit from this tons!
I loved this review. I have never heard of this company before, and now am looking forward to checking them out to see what else they have. I think this is a great product. Thank you for a great review.
I love the magnetic tablet it comes with. Thats great! I like that this package includes a variety of ways to teach your child; it’s meant to fit your child’s needs. I also like the storage box/container. It really does make it tidy and neat! A foam eating cat??? Oh pets, one worries your child will eat anything, but pets do too!
I think these kits are a great way to help preschoolers and toddlers learn the basics. I would love to have this for my son.
