Preschool Freebies at Scuba Jack

On the website http://www.adventuresofscubajack.com/ you will find free educational games, printable worksheets and craft ideas for preschool children. In addition, there is a useful down loadable assessment tool to help parents guide their preschoolers readiness for kindergarten. These tools were developed by veteran preschool teacher and curriculum designer, Beth Costanza.

The main thrust of the site is to promote Beth's DVD series for preschoolers, called The Adventures of Scuba Jack. "The Adventures of Scuba Jack is set in a quaint New England fishing village that is inhabited by exciting and colorful characters. Every episode teaches children a new letter of the alphabet and includes worksheets for practice and reinforcement. Children will also begin to learn basic words in Spanish with the introduction of a new word in each episode. A daily adventure to new locations is the highlight of each episode, with children learning valuable scholastic and moral lessons."

As spin-off of her successful 15 year old preschool in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Beth envisioned an educational DVD series, which allowed children to watch a show that made them feel as if they were a part of the classroom at Majestic Harbor Preschool. She wanted this to be a tool for parents to help their young children excel academically, while feeling confident that the time spent in front of the television was time well spent.

My seven year old assistant reviewer enjoyed the characters and the freebies available on the site. He thought that "little kids" would really like the games and worksheets and learn from them. He also thought they would love the characters at Mystic Harbor Preschool.

The freebies on the site will add quality materials to your educational or home school collection. Find them at www.adventuresofscubajack.com/learning-activities/. While your there read about Beth's own adventure in education and her DVD series and check out the extensive collection of educational materials the Scuba Jack on-line store provides.
