I don't think you'll find a college that will consider Pre-Algebra as college-level.
Also, it doesn't matter if it does, if your kids don't end up going there. Just because a college will accept the course and give credit for it, doesn't mean it will transfer somewhere. So you just have random college credit sitting at a school somewhere...
Your best bet, if you're thinking about having them take this course, is to just have them take it (doesn't cost extra besides the monthly fee which you'd have to pay anyway) and then open ACE accounts for them and have it transferred there. Then, at some time in the future, they went to a school that would accept it, great. It won't have cost you anything to have the ACE account for all that time, and a minimal $15 to send the ACE transcript in when you were ready.
Oh, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I just was skeptical about Shmoop claiming college credit for a class most colleges don't accept as credit?
