Great pre-k tool
There’s always a huge learning curve with first borns and this app has helped me bridge that gap. My child was proficient with the alphabet, counting to 30, colors, and shapes prior to using this app. However, it has become more difficult to work one on one with my child after the birth of my second child. This app has helped refine their current skill set. He has the freedom to choose different lessons at his whim. Also, it’s opened a new world of other lessons that he had previously shown little to no interest in before. The songs on here have helped them in non academic ways such as create more of an interest in things like bathing and dressing himself which I had not been able to get him interested in trying before. My child is very academically inclined but it’s hard to get him interested in learning life skills. So having this app is a great tool in a parents teaching arsenal.

Absolutely in love!!
My kids and I love this app so much. I homeschool my 4 babies, Using Khan Academy for my 9 and 14 year old. It was so hard finding an app that was free and appropriate for my 3 yr old twins. A lot of apps seemed a bit advanced in some areas or not advanced enough in others or appeared to be free then had all kinds of in app purchases. When I found out Khan Academy kids was launching I was extremely excited. This has been a great experience. Being able to adjust the difficulty level as they progress has been great making for very easy transitions. I can’t wait to see what’s next to come with Khan Academy kids! I tell everyone I know with small children about how amazing this app is. An actual free app that is fun, easy to use for parents and especially for kids, that allows you to easily track their progress. Khan Academy kids is by far the best I’ve ever use!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

THE best kids’ app
As a mother and a teacher, I’ve personally tried no less than 20 educational apps for kids age 2 to 6, and Khan Academy Kids is doubtlessly THE best one! I’m so glad and grateful that Khan Academy finally launched this awesome app for younger kids! I’ve just recommended it to all my friends and parents. 1. The lessons are the perfect combination of education+fun. They seem to be more age-appropriate in the difficulty level than other apps I’ve tried, and therefore more engaging to younger learners . 2. It’s fast. No need to waste your or your kids’ time waiting for the next lesson to load up. 3. IT’S FREE! Thank you Khan Academy for your goodwill to give the learning opportunity to less privileged children! A few recommendations for parents: 1. We should always try to stay with our children when they are using this app. In other words, don’t let the screen be the parent. That way, we can be aware of their academic progress and able to offer help. We don’t need to sit right next to them, but should be within a short distance or in the same room to be able to hear/see what they are working on. 2. We should have a time limit for screen even with great apps like KAK. My personal preference for my kids and students is no more than 60 min / day. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoy this app and thank you Khan Academy!
