Donate today and give a child the opportunity to succeed |

There has never been a better time to donate to the Play-To-Learn™ program than today. We are seeing ongoing cuts to Head Start and even more children being excluded from the early childhood education system. It will take organizations like ours and supporters like you to get children to the starting line with all the skills they need to compete. Imagine starting Kindergarten not knowing how to cut or hold a pencil, unable to name colors or recognize letters. This is the reality for many children and it makes life hard. Worse, it sets them up for failure in the school system that is becoming increasingly academic and rooted in testing.
Please help us give these children a great start in life by donating now or sponsoring a class. We simply cannot do it without you.
Thanks and hugs,
Teacher Lee

The Teacher Lee Play-To-Learn™ Program in a nutshell |
|
|
|
For those who have not yet attended a class and would like to know more about the program
 What:
Teacher Lee Play-To-Learn™ is a unique FREE preschool program that does two wonderful things:
- We give children a fun and exciting preschool environment in which they can explore, create and learn;
- We teach parents how to use the developmental teaching skills they learn during Play-To-Learn™ outside the classroom, to help their own child become Kindergarten ready.
Classes are one hour long and a child will only be admitted with a parent or caregiver in attendance. Our motto is “children play to learn, let’s all learn to play!” With that said, get ready to have fun!!!
How:
Teacher Lee loads an entire preschool into her vehicle and takes it to a free venue. She quickly turns an empty room into a fully equipped preschool classroom. All families are welcome to attend and the children are free to choose what they would like to do. Some children rush to the Play-Do and others to the art table or book corner but, whatever they choose, the class is always full of smiles and laughter.
Where:
Teacher Lee has classes in the following areas:
- Monday – City Heights
- Tuesday – North Park
- Wednesday – Otay Ranch
- Thursday – 4s-Ranch
- Friday – Santee
For a more detailed calendar with classes, venues and times please click here.
Where do I sign up for a class?
Just come to the class. There is no pre-registration. Our goal is to reach as many families as possible and we would love to see you in class next week.
How do I bring a class to my neighborhood?
Parents are the drivers of the Play-To-Learn classes and they are required to bring together a minimum of 15 children and a free venue. At that point Teacher Lee will schedule a regular class.
Until Teacher Lee finds the funding to employ an additional teacher, we will have to limit the number of venues to one per day. As such, Teacher Lee is fully committed at this time. If you would like to help Teacher Lee fund a new class, please feel free to make a donation or have your business use one of the awesome sponsorship opportunities.
Are then any strings attached? What’s the catch?
Our classes are free. There is no charge at all. There is always a donation box in the classroom and we strongly urge every parent to donate something according to your ability to help pay for this program.
Teacher Lee earns NO salary and will not until there is sufficient funding through donations and sponsorships. Right now Teacher Lee pays for almost all of the consumables herself and established the school using her own savings.
You will also find a donation tab on this page and your help is always greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please contact Teacher Lee through the contact page or call (707) LEE-4-FUN.
