Kaplan
Kids, which offers personalized online learning programs for
students in kindergarten through 8th grade in math, reading and writing,
has signed on to become an official sponsor of Disney
Live!, a series of high-quality, interactive touring theater
productions featuring Disney-themed stories for families with young
children. Disney Live! is produced by Feld Entertainment, Inc., the
world's leading producer of live family entertainment.
As part of the sponsorship, which runs from August 2012 through February
2013, Disney Live! will include Kaplan Kids as part of a
dedicated media campaign that encompasses TV, radio, Facebook, YouTube
and other channels. Additionally, Kaplan Kids will have an on-site
presence at over 100 Disney Live! performances of Disney Live!
Mickey's Music Festival and Phineas and Ferb: The Best LIVE Tour
Ever!, in dozens of cities across North America.
"Disney Live! has an unparalleled reputation for bringing magic
and memories to children and their families, and we're pleased to be a
part of that experience," said Jieun Choe, executive director of K-12
and college admissions programs, Kaplan Test Prep. "Both Kaplan Kids and Disney
Live! seek to deliver programs that are dynamic, engaging and
appealing to children and parents, and the values of family and
education have always been closely aligned, so it made sense to bring
our brands together in this partnership."
Kaplan Kids drives academic progress through these three steps:
|
|
|
1.
|
|
An online assessment to pinpoint a student's math and reading
levels and design a learning plan for his or her unique academic
needs.
|
|
|
|
2.
|
|
A customized learning plan based on those assessment results using
Smart Track, the brain behind Kaplan Kids' online learning
program. Because Smart Track is adaptive, it targets the right
skills to make progress faster, while introducing challenging new
material through fun and interactive instruction.
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
Kaplan Kids keeps parents up to date on their child's progress
every step of the way with real-time online progress reports.
Parents are able to see what skills their child has mastered,
what's difficult and what's in progress.
