FREE learning apps which might help young kids spend some quality time learning while being entertained.

 

All of us have all been spending hours on screens of all sizes as we stay indoors in this C-19 journey, exploring – with and for our kids – the innumerable distractions, learnings and entertainment available online.

 

We, at SFK, occasionally highlight what we think might be of interest to parents. Check out the selection below from the Apple App Store : The standouts below are great for learning math, language arts, coding, emotional health, and everything in between. And for a limited time, they’re all offering an extended 30-day free trial. Start yours by May 31 to take advantage of the extra access.
