How to get started with Preschoolearn
The whole route, start to finish: what you can open without an account at all, how to pick a plan and create your account, what each step of the payment screen asks for, and how renewing, cancelling and the money-back guarantee work. Pick the path that matches you — you don’t have to read all of it.
Correct as of . Prices, figures and screenshots are examples — what actually binds.
We’ve picked the version that matches the device you’re on — switch whenever you like. The screenshots and the places you tap change with it; the steps stay the same.

Free topics and printables
Part of the library is open to everyone. You don’t need to register or sign in — you just need to narrow the search.
Open the Finder
Go to the Finder — it searches every topic on the site.
Tick the free categories
The filters sit in the Filters column to the left of the results. Under Category, tick Free topics and Free Printables. The list refreshes as you go.
Above the results there’s a Filters button — tap it and the panel slides in from the side. Under Category, tick Free topics and Free Printables, then close the panel to see the results.
The number beside a category is how many results it still holds once your other filters are applied. Categories at zero are greyed out. Open it and print
Click any result. A free topic opens in full — lesson plans for both age groups and the printable worksheets that go with them.
Every free topic in one place: Free topics. The full catalogue, free and paid together, is on List of topics.
What a members’ lesson plan looks like before you subscribe
Open a paid lesson plan while signed out and you’ll see its summary, then a card in place of the plan itself. Nothing is hidden about what it costs to get in — the card links straight to the plans.
Pick a plan
There is one level of access, offered in two currencies. Pick the one that matches where you are — everything else about the two plans is identical. Current prices are always on Plans & pricing; this page describes how the plans work, not what they cost today.
| Plan | Billed in | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Premium USD | US dollars — Americas & worldwide | Full access to all lesson scenarios · printable teaching aids included · topics for the whole preschool year |
| Premium EUR | Euros — Europe |
Both plans are monthly subscriptions. They renew and are charged automatically until you cancel, and you can cancel at any time from your account — there is no minimum term and nothing to phone up about.
Create your account and pay
You don’t create an account separately — it’s made as you subscribe, on the same screen. If you’d rather use your Facebook or Google account, sign in with it first and the checkout will skip the account step.
Option a) Facebook or Google
Open Sign in and choose Continue with Facebook or Continue with Google. The same buttons create an account and sign in to an existing one, so there’s nothing to register beforehand. The first time round, Facebook or Google will ask you to sign in and to allow us your email address.
If you opened the site from inside the Facebook or Instagram app, social sign-in won’t work in their built-in browser. You’ll get a screen offering to Open in browser — tap it and finish signing in in Safari or Chrome. That’s one extra tap, not a fault.
Option b) An ordinary account, created as you pay
The checkout is laid out in two columns. You fill the form on the left; on the right sits Order summary — what the plan includes, the total due today, and the promo code field. That column follows you as you scroll, so the amount is never off screen.
At the top of the checkout there’s a collapsed Summary bar showing the amount — tap it to see what the plan includes. The form is below it. A bar sticks to the bottom of the screen with the amount and the pay button, so you never have to scroll to the end to pay.
On Plans & pricing each plan has a Choose button that takes you straight to the checkout. From there it’s three steps — the numbers below are the ones you’ll see on screen.
Step “Your account”
Fill in Username, Password (twice) and Email Address (twice).
An asterisk marks a required field. “Show Password” lets you check what you’ve typed. Check the email address twice. Your receipt and every later message go to it.
Errors appear under the field they belong to, so there’s nothing to hunt for at the top of the page.
Errors appear under the field they belong to — tap the pay button and the page scrolls to the first one that needs fixing.
Already registered? Use the Already have an account? Log in here link at the top of the form.
Step “Payment method”
Two choices, and you pay on the provider’s own secure page either way — your card details never reach us.
- Card or digital wallet — Visa, Mastercard and American Express, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and Link where your device offers them. Selected by default.
- PayPal — pay with your PayPal balance or a linked card.
Under the tiles, a line tells you exactly what happens next: the secure page opens, and your access opens the moment the payment is confirmed. Step “Confirm & pay”
Three tick boxes are required, one is optional:
- Site Terms of Service — required.
- This plan is a subscription that renews and is charged automatically until you cancel — required.
- Immediate access — you consent to the content being supplied straight away and acknowledge that this ends your statutory right of withdrawal. Required, and it’s what lets your access open the moment you’ve paid rather than after a waiting period.
- Email me new lesson plans and teaching ideas — optional, skip it if you’d rather not.
The withdrawal box, in plain termsTicking it gives up the statutory 14-day cooling-off period that applies to digital content — that’s the trade for getting the lesson plans immediately instead of waiting. It does not give up our own 14-day money-back guarantee, which we grant separately and voluntarily.
Then press Subscribe. The secure payment page opens, and once the payment is confirmed you’re brought back here with access already switched on.
Access opens immediately, a receipt goes to your email address, and your subscription, invoices and cancel button all live on your Profile page.
Renewing, cancelling and refunds
Everything about your subscription is on your Profile page: which plan you’re on, when it renews, your invoices, and the link to cancel.
- Renewing happens on its own, once a month, until you cancel.
- Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you’ve already paid for — you keep access until then, and you’re not charged again.
- Invoices for every payment are listed on the same page.
We refund your first subscription payment within 14 days without asking why. Just write to us — Contact.
The guarantee applies once per customer and to the first purchase only. It does not cover later automatic renewals: if a renewal is charged after you meant to cancel, get in touch anyway and we’ll sort it out. The full wording is in the Refund Policy.
Common questions
Which plan do I choose — USD or EUR?
Whichever currency suits you; the access is identical. Premium EUR is aimed at Europe and Premium USD at the Americas and everywhere else. If your card is in a third currency, your bank converts it either way, so pick the one closer to home.
I paid, but the page is still waiting
Give it a moment — the confirmation can lag by a few seconds and the page picks it up on its own. Don’t pay a second time.
If nothing has happened after a few minutes, check your email (spam folder included) — the receipt arrives regardless of what the screen shows. If that’s empty too, tell us and include the time you paid.
Signing in with Facebook or Google doesn’t work on my phone
Usually this means the site was opened from inside the Facebook or Instagram app, whose built-in browser doesn’t support social sign-in. You’ll be offered an Open in browser button — tap it and finish in Safari or Chrome.
You can always create an ordinary account with a username and password instead.
Do I lose my refund rights by ticking the “immediate access” box?
You give up the statutory cooling-off period for digital content — that’s what allows the lesson plans to be handed over straight away. Our own 14-day money-back guarantee on your first subscription is separate and still stands. See the Refund Policy.
How do I cancel?
From your Profile page, whenever you like. Access runs to the end of the period you’ve paid for, and nothing is charged after that.
Can I get an invoice?
Every payment is listed on your Profile page with an invoice you can open and print. Need different details on it? Write to us.
I’ve forgotten my password
On the sign-in page, below the form, there’s a link to reset it. The link to set a new password goes to the email address on your account.
