Best preschool learning app

[Anonymous]

Suggestions? Zoom isn’t cutting it, but kid is happy to play games. Anyone have a favorite little kids learning app (like ABCMouse)?

Brainzy (on education.com) has some good learning games.

The Khan Academy Kids app is the only one we've used and it seems good. My son enjoys it and seems to retain information from it.

My active 4yo boy got bored with ABC mouse after 2-3 days.

Unstructured, imaginary play
Writing name with: sidewalk chalk, fingerprint, in shaving cream, making it with leaves, legos, play dough, Cheerios, blocks, twigs...
Making letters and numbers with all of the above
Being read to and having adult ask questions about the books read (what happens first/next/last, what part did you like? What did this remind you off?)
Playing restaurant, make up menus, scribble out receipts
Play book store
Play vet
Play kitchen
Build with blocks
Open ended art experiences

Teach your child how to entertain themselves, without a device, for small periods of time.
Show them how to llook at books and make up a story by looking at the pictures. Give them coloring books or blank paper and crayons.
No app can teach the skills these activities will.

This is ideal but I suspect the OP has to juggle FT work and can't do too much of this M-F daytime.

For the same reason, I subscribed to ABC mouse, and let my kid access PBS kids app.

I am so sick of these responses from people asking about app suggestions. I assume OP is asking for apps as a supplement and while she is WFH full-time and trying to provide childcare.

It is also obnoxious to see this post from a PreK teacher- does this mean that you have time to do all of this? While your students are home with their parents who are ACTUALLY doing work? While perhaps still paying tuition to the school that is paying you? Are you saying that a preK teacher is not a necessary occupation since we can just teach our kids how to read books and entertain themselves all day?

Given the situation, and our area, another +1 for this being a seriously obnoxious post. We all know what’s ideal.
