Best FREE Resources for Kids Learning from Home

by // // No Comments

Under our new normal, my family is spending every day at home. Kids are learning from home. This has brought in a new set of challenges. My kids are doing good with online learning but they finish their school work before lunch leaving them with lots of time in their hands.

As a parent, I see as my responsibility to steer my kids toward good online content. Lord Buddha knows I can’t watch another Leah Ash Roblox video! So I decided to find out the best educational YouTube channels, apps and websites I could find and today I am sharing my list of the best free and paid resources for your kid to learn good content at home:
