Education has been a hot topic in our home lately. Our daughter just turned 4 years old and preschool is right around the corner! We’ve gone back and forth so many times. . . Do we homeschool? Do we go the Public School route? And now, there are SO many more options than ever before. It’s incredibly important to my husband and I to encourage education and a positive learning experience and in the same breath properly prepare our children for the world before them.
I am so excited to be partnering with ABCmouse! When I was originally approached by ABCmouse, I had just finished listening to my daughter throw a massive fit because I had told her that her screen time was up. In the moment, part of me was thinking, “oh sure, let’s reward her with more screen time”. Looking into it a bit more, I found that ABCmouse isn’t just any screen time.
“ABCmouse, Adventure Academy, and ReadingIQ were created to help children build a strong foundation for academic success and to foster a lifelong love of learning. ABCmouse.com is the leading online early education program and offers over 10,000 books, games, songs, puzzles, and art activities. More than 18 million children ages 2-8 have completed more than 4 billion learning activities on ABCmouse.com!”
Children can start learning from your computer or straight from your phone or tablet on the ABCmouse app. You can try it Free for 30 Days on any device. It’s Teacher Recommended, completely Child Safe, and after the 30 Days, really affordable. I especially love the idea that children can truly grow into and from the program. Before preparing my thoughts for you, I wanted to take the time to get to know the program and allow my kiddos to explore. They have comprehensive lesson plans laid out that are appropriate for the specific ages and levels.
Both my kiddos seemed excited to dive in. Even my 22 month boy was thrilled to choose his avatar, hamster and fish! In a couple short weeks, we’ve noticed a difference in our daughter’s behavior. No, it’s not perfect – she’s still got the toddler-tude we’re working on. However, we’ve noticed more respect for “Screen Time”. Her attention span and comprehensive skills have already shown improvement. She was walking her little brother through one of the lessons and explaining her movements and asked him if he wanted to “do school work” with her. (Oh, my heart!)
Suddenly I’m not stressing too much with her going over her allotted Screen Time as much. We still do a lot of non-tech activities and projects, but so far I am impressed. Both my children are showing a true interest in learning and seem to have a lot of fun working through the lessons. I highly recommend giving ABCmouse a try for your little one!
