  1. Hi! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with friends and family. I am interested in your product I see you have a print only option do you have an option? Where are you? Send the materials with the print option? If so, please let me know the price and if that will work I will be asking what all it covers. I teach pre-K and have been for years and this looks like a way to have my weekends back, as well as my home more organized instead of a pre-K closet! I don’t have much of a budget for this, but going out to shop for more materials. That’s what I’m trying to remove myself from. I will mostly be utilizing this for my grand children while they’re still of age for this, I will pass all this information onto the center I work with, but I have not seen them be willing to pay for much. Thank you for your reply and I’m very interested, especially materials. Come with it. Just depending on the price.

    1. Hi Pam!

      We hope you had a great holiday as well! Our Print and Play Club memberships are all 100% digital, where you print resources you need on demand or watch professional development, lessons, and more (depending on the membership level you choose). We do not currently have a membership where we mail physical resources or materials your way. Though you may find that your time spent prepping is cut in half when you don’t have to prep everything AND go searching for the ideas and lesson printables! 🙂 We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the memberships. Reach out anytime via our contact form or email, and we can help you find what you are needing.
