Kids Academy Releases Preschool Education Center
for iOS and Android!
I love having fantastic educational apps on hand when we’re out and about. They are great to keep the kids occupied and I can feel good about letting them have “screen time” because I know they are learning at the same time. I also love being able to use Apps in my classroom along with our other resources.
Kids Academy – the team behind some of the top educational apps for kids with over 10 million downloads worldwide just released the long-awaited version of their flagship app – Preschool Education Center.
As the name suggests, Preschool Education Center is an all-in-one educational app for kids and toddlers. The app covers all aspects of early childhood education from the alphabet and reading to writing, building vocabulary and developing math skills. Based on the proven Montessori method the app offers a number of fun games that help master essential learning skills through play.
I thought that I really loved this game before the update but now there is even more to love. The adorable money monsters help teach kids about counting and money. My kiddos loved counting with them and learning about money. You can earn printable worksheets that we love and I brought to my class. Everyone loves them and I love having a new resource for my classroom. Great update for an already great kids app.
Phonics is really important when you’re teaching kids to read and write. Sometimes it’s harder to teach these skills. I love this app because it again makes it fun for kids to learn. It uses mazes to get kids to rhyme. My son loved trying to find the words that rhymed. You have to drag a bone through the maze to get to the word and a dog follows the bone to make the word pair. It’s really adorable. The only trouble we had was when we had called words by the wrong name (for example my son saw a picture of a dog and it was supposed to be a pup).
The game also gives kids a chance to practice with letters again and play with mazes. The mazes are easy enough for preschoolers to get through without too much difficulty. It boosts their confidence and helps them get ready for the next level where the have to find word pairs. It’s a great game and I like that it follows the Montessori approach to learning.
Until now, Preschool Education Center has only been available on iTunes but today’s release makes it finally available for Android device on Google Play! This fun and free app is currently being featured in the Family section of the Android store in the USA, Australia and Canada.
Get the app free on Google Play!
