Background

I've been teaching an in-person hands-on STE(A)M enrichment class since 2014, serving almost 200 kids age 3 - 7. In spring 2020, we had to move to online classes due to coronavirus restrictions. 
Here's what one parent said about our online program: "What a wonderful class, I love your style and the way your curriculum utilizes different parts of the brain to assimilate information through song and story and hands on challenge activity, etc. I appreciate the way you share your experiments in the email to prepare for the next session. I loved the diorama project, so creative! [My child] has been talking about that since the class! I can hear her reciting to herself right now “food, water, shelter, space, a habitat is a wonderful place." She is clearly stimulated and it will give us wonderful content to work on during the week."

Interest Survey: At this time, I am only gauging whether there is enough interest to offer a program like this, and if so, what options would most likely be workable for families who are interested. I'm not committing to any ideas yet, but appreciate you sharing any input you have!

Question Title

* 1. Sessions would be one hour long. Would you prefer:

Question Title

* 2. On weekdays, what time would work best for your family? (All times are pacific time zone - if you live in another time zone, be sure to convert!)

Question Title

* 3. Rate these topics from what would be your child's favorite topic #1, to least interesting topic #10.

Question Title

* 4. Projects outside of class time: Currently in class, we demo a couple of easy activities or craft projects, and I send an email / blog post with LOTS more ideas for parents if they are seeking more ideas. All these projects are OPTIONAL!
We also offer a "challenge activity" each week, where kids are encouraged to work on something and share their results during check-in the next week. These challenges are projects that would take 30 - 60 minutes, using only household materials. A 3 - 4 year old would need adult help, an older child could be more independent. We try to use a lot of phrasing about "if you want to do this, great, if not, that's fine too", because our goal is to support parents with fun ideas during this time - we don't want to add any extra burden. For each of these activities, check off the ones that you would like us to include in the class. (Leave blank things you'd rather we didn't do.)

Question Title

* 5. How old is your child? (If you have multiple children who might participate together, mark all that apply)

Question Title

* 6. Where do you live

Question Title

* 7. Would you be willing to pay $20 per session? (So, $100 for a 5 class series.)

Question Title

* 8. If you want to be kept informed about plans for the program, please share your email address with me:

Question Title

* 9. Anything else you would like to share?
