Kids Academy Releases Preschool Education Center
for iOS and Android!

I am often asked for recommendations about apps for preschoolers.  This Kids Academy Preschool Education Center is a great pick.  Your kids can work on all of the basics using one app and it’s kid friendly with fun music and graphics, too!

The Preschool Education Center is an all-in-one educational app created for children and toddlers by the team at Kids Academy! With already over 10 million downloads worldwide, they have just released a long-awaited update to this amazing app! The app is designed to cover all aspects of early childhood education. Children learn about the alphabet, reading, writing, building vocabulary and even developing math skills. Based on the proven Montessori method, the Preschool Education Center app offers a number of fun games that help master essential learning skills through play, making learning fun!

If you’ve got preschoolers, they will LOVE this fun interactive app that helps them work on skills like letter recognition and rhyming words, addition and subtraction plus sequencing, and fine motor skills, too!  I LOVE the library where your kids can read along to favorites like Cinderella and Puss in Boots! The writing tasks provide arrows to help your child learn proper letter formation and gently provide reminders and a chance to try again if they make a mistake.  The graphics are great, the characters are cute, and the music is catchy. Your kids will love it!

Until now, Preschool Education Center has only been available on iTunes but now it is finally available for Android devices on Google Play! This fun and free app is currently being featured in the Family section of the Android store in the USA, Australia and Canada.
