KidSparkz Membership Questions
What is included in the Membership Library?
Do you offer a trial period?
No, it's not necessary, because most of the pages and packs in the password protected part of the site (the Member Library) are shown (but not able to be clicked) on the theme pages of the main public site www.kidsparkz.com More items are added often.
Why do you use a theme based page organization?
It's the first thing on the home page - the site and the member area are built for ease of use and saving time for teachers, parents and daycares. The majority of preschool programs globally use a theme-based curriculum format. Go to the theme index, grab and go, print and use. Time is short.
What about play-based and emergent interest programs?
Most of the activities and centers in the site are hands-on and can be used in different ways with differing developmental levels. The teacher knows her student and differentiates accordingly. There are some pencil (crayon) and paper printables for those who are ready. KidSparkz is perfect to go to when an interest emerges in a group or a student. Go straight to the theme and choose what you need.
What does the Member account dashboard look like?
- All the free items on the theme pages in the main site.
- All the items that are labeled for "members only" on the theme pages in the main site.
- At least 35% of the activity packs in the KidSparkz store. Access them in the Member Library.
- 20% discount on the purchase of any of the packs from the store that are not included in the member area.
- The Member Library is a separate section of the KidSparkz site. Member materials can only be downloaded in the Member Library, not in the main site.

What does the Member account dashboard look like?
|
After you become a member and join a plan, you can click on any login link in the site and log in to the Member Library. All the login links in your device will now say "Your Account". This is what your account dashboard will look like. You can use the links on it to Go to the Member Library, view your plan information, update your credit card, view charge history, edit your profile, change your email and password. You can log out of the Member Library if you want, but you don't have to. You can stay logged in for a year before you ever have to log out and back in again.

Will the downloads work with my device?
If you can download and print any of the free activities, then the items in the member area will work too.
What if I have a problem downloading or printing?
Usually that problem can be solved by emptying your browser's cache or using a different browser. Emptying the browser's cache and deleting cookies is the number one thing to do if you are having trouble downloading an activity. Also, make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader. Email me 24/7 for help.
I am a member, and I am being asked to pay for packs and downloads that are supposed to be free to members.
You have accidentally gone back to the main site. You need to log out of your account and then back in again. You can only access member materials from the Member Library Index, by clicking on the link you need on that page.
