Questions

Can our team create its own curriculum?

Yes. Harness guides your team through a brief, framework, selected module, teaching guide and lessons. A curriculum director, founder, school leader or educator can lead the work. Review saved drafts and export Word or Excel files.

How does ASK help teachers?

ASK helps teachers understand the available preschool curriculum, prepare lessons, ask specialist guides and rehearse teaching. Start with a first lesson or bring a focused question from experience. Explore ASK.

Does a Harness draft appear in ASK automatically?

No. Saving, reviewing or exporting a draft does not publish it to ASK or the public curriculum library. Draft access stays with the permitted workspace users.

How is this different from a general AI chat?

General AI tools can help plan and write curriculum. Harness adds a guided creation sequence and saved curriculum work; ASK adds preparation and practice with its available curricula. Compare ChatGPT or Claude.

Is this a franchise

No. You own your name, your brand, your choice of curriculum and your business. We provide the software and the training.

Where can I run a preschool

In your home, in a rented room, in a garden or outdoors. This is how most small preschools begin. Rules about premises, ratios and registration differ by country and by region, and meeting them is yours to do.

Do I need a teaching qualification

Rules differ by country and by region. Ask trains you to teach the curriculum, and we help you find the licensing path where you live. Meeting local rules is yours to do.

What does it cost

Setting up is free and fully supported. Payment begins when the school is running and earning, as a fee for each enrolled child.

Which tools can help my school

Explore curricula, plan the week with Rhythm, prepare lessons with Ask, manage school operations with Beacon, and organise outreach and enquiries with Enrol. Beacon is already used in schools. Your account and school permissions determine which tools you can open.

Which curriculum do I teach

You choose from the catalog. The Empathy Curriculum is available now and the library already has nature programmes.

Who are the apps for

Our tools support the adults around a child: teachers preparing lessons, school teams organising the day, and families planning learning at home. Each app provides access suited to its users.

Where has this been used

In classrooms in Singapore, Poland and the United States.

Is the curriculum really free

The curricula in our library are free to use, with complete lesson plans and no payment. The Empathy Curriculum is a separate programme, licensed to schools, and it is not part of the free library.

What does accreditation cost

Discuss the Candidate School pathway and its terms with our team when you set up your school.

When do I start paying

When your school is running and earning. Before children are enrolled, there is nothing to pay.

Why is it free

We want you to have time to choose a curriculum, prepare your team and plan your school. Shared resources and software let us offer that preparation without an upfront setup charge. Operating fees begin when children are enrolled.
