Importance of Preschool Academics
Your children's success in kindergarten will help shape their view of themselves. A major study found that students who learned to read in kindergarten tended to score in the top percentile as seniors in high school. We offer five fun, award-winning preschool apps that teach reading, writing, addition, and subtraction before kindergarten.
Just 20 minutes a day can have a huge impact on your children's academic success. Remember, you are your children's first and best teacher. Your preschooler would rather spend time with you than anyone else. There is no better investment of your time than your children's education. Available for most iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows devices.

Why our Preschool Products Are Different
Our products are fun and engaging, but unlike many products on the market, our products develop academic skills and critical thinking to help your child succeed in school and life. We engineer critical thinking into our reading and mathematics material to teach them to solve problems through organized analysis—instead of guesswork. We encourage discussion to stimulate verbal development as children communicate their reasoning and solutions.
