Fun Learning Sites for Kids
The websites below are great for independent and fun learning on the web. All of these sites are free and for the most part, include ages where the student can navigate through them independently. It is strongly recommended that all internet browsing by children be closely monitored by parents or a trusted adult. Internet safety information can be obtained through the links located in the parenting tips section.
