The problem
Every week someone had to log in to the curriculum provider, download a pile of videos, guides, and printables, rename everything, and rebuild the kids-room playlists by hand.
What it does
It signs in to our curriculum provider and downloads that week's preschool and elementary materials: videos, leader guides, and printables. It sorts them into a folder for each week and age group, combines the printables into one print packet, and writes a one-page leader quick guide. It cleans up the file names, uploads the videos to Lightloop (our kids-room video player), and builds that week's playlists in teaching order. At the start of each month it adds the theme song, theme verse, countdown, and theme slides.
Setup
- Give the assistant its own login for the curriculum provider and for Lightloop.
- Pick a shared folder (we use Google Drive) and a standard layout: week, then age group, then videos and printables.
- Write down your playlist order once, for example welcome video, Bible story, then main idea.
- Run it with a staff member watching for the first few weeks.
Guardrails
- A person reviews the playlists and materials before any kids see them.
- It only uses the curriculum you already pay for and never adds outside videos.
- If a file is missing or two files could match, it stops and asks instead of guessing.
- It has no access to check-in or any information about kids or families.
Time saved
We're still tracking this honestly, so there's no number here yet.
