I thought about all the time I wasted over the years fast forwarding and rewinding my cassette tapes and loading CD’s into my gigantic boom box. I had one of those moments again recently when I was introduced to <a href="http://www.preschoolbuddy.com/">PreschoolBuddy</a>, an innovative, new web-based application that will help you manage your time in the classroom and communicate with parents more effectively. </p> <p>Designed to help bridge the gap between home and school, Preschool Buddy simplifies the day-to-day administrative chores for educators and provides a convenient way for busy parents to be actively engaged with the school community. The end result is a more personalized connection with the classroom for all stakeholders in a child’s education.</p> <p><strong>PreschoolBuddy includes the following key features to help bridge the gap between home and school:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Classroom Management – Spend your day focused on what you love to do – educating children!</li> <li>School Administration – Helping you save time, money, and trees!</li> <li>Parent Communication – This just in…parents LOVE hearing stuff about their kids!</li> <li>School Fundraising – When bake sales & book sales just won’t do!</li> </ul> <p><strong>My favorite features of <a href="http://www.preschoolbuddy.com/">PreschoolBuddy</a> are:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Form tracker: Easily keep track who has turned in their forms and who hasn’t.
