If online school is acceptable for K-12 students, why not take advantage of virtual classrooms for younger children? That’s what some parents are doing in hopes of equipping their preschoolers with academic skills while avoiding the high costs of private preschool, according to a PBS News Hour report.
Online preschool programs, such as those provided by K12 Inc. and Time4Learning, as well as some free programs, can meet the needs of families living in areas where public preschool is not available or of those who prefer to homeschool.
