When the need arises, Quaker Lane's online learning experience provides students with an engaging, interactive, and age-appropriate curriculum similar to that found in our classroom. Although remote learning cannot replace the invaluable social interaction among preschool peers, we work to ensure that their minds continue to work even when school must occur at home.
