Q: Why do you have ads on every page? They're annoying!

A: While the ads my appear to be annoying, they are very necessary to the continuation of this site. This site runs on a "FREE" basis. The ads are what helps us keep this status. This site is done in my free time. I am a preschool teacher and like any teacher my time is limited. Much of the cost to run this site comes from the ads. But most months it is not even close to enough to cover the sites overhead. The rest comes from my pocket. I do this to keep the site free for all. Without the ad revenue I would have to close down the site.
My intention when starting the page was to keep it free for all to use.

Q: All these ads are driving me nuts.

A: First, you need to be specific on "all these ads". While to some one ad can be "all these ads" other may be talking about 10. If you are seeing more than 4 banners (A small and a large across the top, a box above the menu, and a large across the bottom.), and the occasional pop up on the site you may have a spy ware program on your computer. There should never be more than that. If you are getting hit with 3+ popups a page, then you most definitely have a spy ware on your computer. These ads are not coming from us, our keywords are just triggering them. You can download a free copy of Ad-Aware to get rid of these hidden programs. http://www.lavasoftusa.com

A: Unfortunately this sometime happens with certain ads. But it is fixable. Either you can use one of the ways to print above, or you can simply refresh button on your browser. Another ad will appear. Then you should be able to print.

A: I have set strict guidelines for the type of ads Preschool Education will except. the short version of our guidelines are no pornographic, casino, or betting ads. I do make every attempt to check each and every ad that is placed on our site by our ad agency. However sometime I will miss one. If you find an ad that slipped by us and our filtering system, please email and let us know so we can take care of it ASAP. I will need details. So when email please be as specific as possible about the ad.

Q: The print is too small to read, what can I do?

A: We set our print at a standard small print to accommodate all browsers. Again the answer to this question depends on your browser.

Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Using the tool bar at the top, press on View. This will bring a new menu down. Then press text size. A menu will open to the side. You can pick your text size from there.
