The content (lessons, scripture, games, etc.) is great. I am VERY satisfied with that part of it. In my opinion and probably because of the way I like to do things, the ready-made presentations are lacking severely. I rebuild every presentation using the branded slides and design, but adding graphics, sound effects, and other "bells and whistles". Kids are constantly bombarded with such things and I want to build the presentations in a more attention-grabbing way.

I like the sample lesson options, but it is hard to create MY lesson; click and drag does not work well on a laptop.

I love the content, but for a completely digital format I find downloading the lesson into a pdf that looks nice and organized when printed very difficult. I wish they would just put the entire lesson into one section instead of having to edit in different sections. We almost cancelled because of this because it takes longer than it should. We're used to a more user friendly format. Great content, but you have to work a little more for it!

organized!

I like how all the ministry grades/ages align with the series and the series content. I also like the amount of resources provided. What has been frustrating is learning how to navigate the website. It is more confusing than helpful to me. I would like to see this simplified. I think having a Series library and a lesson library is unnecessary and adds to the confusion. Instead I would love to see everything that you need in the Series library under each series... and in there you can access and download any of the series files you need for the overall series and also each individual week of that series content. it seems like WI is trying to do too much when it comes to the overall functionality of obtaining and tweaking and changing the curr to fit your ministry. I think less is more in this case, but this is just me. I understand you have to do what you feel God is calling you to do. I would also suggest simplifying your wording in the lesson. I understand the heart behind calling your segments "Curiosity", "Belief", "Faith", and "Identity" but this seems to be just extra fluff wording that causes us (your customer) to have to take the extra time to explain what these all mean to our team and volunteers, instead of just calling them, "Small group" & "Large Group", and "Activities or Fun elements" (which people are more familiar with). Again I get the heart behind it, I just feel it is unnecessary and those words could be better suited to your philosophy and mission of WI. The feedback we have received from our PreK teachers is that the teaching videos struggle to hold our kid's attention and hit them on their level. I do like the biblically-based content throughout... this is a huge plus for us! Thank you for this! Hope this helps, I am trying to be honest, but I realize it can come off harsher then what it really is.

I like the curriculum. The webpage is not so simple to navigate when using an iPhone. What I think should be considered resources aren’t there. Maybe I just need to keep poking around on the website and watch a tutorial

When editing (using chrome) sometimes in the middle of editing the website glitches and goes back to the home page. Sometimes the activity pages in a lesson show the picture along with the link. Other times there is no picture. It helps to see the picture of the activity page within the lesson. In an Early Childhood lesson there is an activity that ask a 3-5 yr old to read or write. This does not seem suitable for a 3-5 yr old lesson and then requires extra unnecessary editing to make the activity usable.

certain tabs on the website take forever to load. The guides as we call them that you should be able to print right from the page are not easily edited so we have to copy and past to a word doc. We came from orange where we had many many more options. we like that all ages are learning the same thing. We wish Large group had a game type ice breaker for kids.
