ABCmouse Subscription (Pre-K+K)
ABCmouse.com Early Learning Academy
I kept hearing about ABCmouse. You have to try it! My child loves it! It is the best early educational website out there! So what is it? The name stems from the basics of our education (ABCs) mixed with the technology of the computer ‘mouse’. I actually have a subscription to another online site for Brooke so I had been holding off trying it – until now. See, we are now at that cross-road of our oldest child, a preschooler, starting to seriously prep for kindergarten. It’s all been fun and games and while I want to continue learning in that matter, I suppose it is time to get a little more serious about curriculums and online education. You don’t want to prep your child too much…yet you don’t want your child to be totally unprepared for the classroom structure if you are going the way of the public school system. So when I read more and learned that the creators of a popular children’s website for games called NeoPets (something in which I am familiar) also created this fun and educational approach to online learning, I thought that was a beautiful match!
ABCmouse.com is considered an Early Learning Academy for children pre-k through early elementary school programs to receive a comprehensive, safe and secure online curriculum. One subscription can have up to three kids with three varying learning paths. The paths cover basics such as numbers, letters and other basic concepts of our education system in different difficulty levels. The great thing for kids is that they will receive ‘tickets’ for successful completion of activities on the site and can trade them in for virtual gifts like avatars, which is right out of the NeoPets playbook. Due to the site’s subscription-based online environment, there are no pop-up ads, advertising or links to other websites on the entire ABCMouse website. Brooke, who has used other online educational sites, found ABCmouse very easy to navigate. The site screams of games and color. There are interactive pets to a virtual classroom; it is a great online environment for early learning. It was fun watching my daughter go through voiced over tutorials and play games that were educational. It would be perfect for first time computer users as well, even having an activity to teach a child how to use the computer mouse. I liked that there is no other online action with others, which is completely appropriate for this age group. If you are looking for a great way to prep your child for kindergarten in the virtual world, ABCmouse is a must!
