Mark The Kindergarten Connection as a Safe Sender

We don’t want you to miss a thing! To make sure you receive all of our emails, make sure to update your email so that The Kindergarten Connection goes to your inbox (this process is also called whitelisting).

Each email provider is different but there is a way to do this in every system. Below are instructions for a few of the most common email platforms.

Gmail

There are two main options with Gmail: add a contact or create a filter.

Adding a Contact

While logged into Gmail on a computer, click on the menu towards the top of the screen that looks like nine dots arranged in a square. You will receive a drop down menu with other Google services. Click on “Contacts”. Alternatively, visit contacts.google.com to open this page.

A pop-up window will open for you to create a new contact. Add hello@thekindergartenconnection.com as your new contact and click save. If you are in the Print and Play Club, add hello@printandplayclub.com.
