The Best Digital Learning Platforms for Children: Enhancing Education from Home

Top digital learning platforms for children!

There are some really great digital learning tools for little kids out there these days! I wanted to share a few that I think are worth checking out if you've got young children.

First up is ABCmouse - they've got a huge range of games, books, songs and more that cover reading, math science and everything in between and its pretty comprehensive for the preschool through kindergarten ages. My friend's 4-year-old loves it.

Another good one is Khan Academy Kids. This is made by the same folks behind the popular Khan Academy site. But the Kids version is tailored specifically for ages 2-7 with fun learning activities across subjects. It's also designed to adapt to your child's needs and level.

If your kid is into being creative or coding, ScratchJr is a cool intro to that. Kids can make interactive stories and animations by snapping together graphical programming blocks, kind of like a Lego version of coding! It gets them thinking logically and problem-solving.

National Geographic Kids has lots of videos, games etc based around science, wildlife and world cultures. It brings amazing Nat Geo content to life for young audiences in an educational but still entertaining way. Could definitely spark some interest!

Finally, Prodigy Math is great for reinforcing math skills through an adaptive fantasy-style video game. As your child plays, it adjusts the level to keep them challenged and engaged. Makes math practice feel a little less like drills.

So those are just a handful of the top-rated platforms out there for early digital learning.

Hopefully, it gives you some ideas if you're looking for supplement educational activities for your young ones!
