OVERVIEW

Fun, free, mini-courses and content for kids

We have created this site with parents, educators, preschoolers, and elementary school students in mind. We have posted some of our successful courses, such as the free ABC Signs Program (ASL), and expanded the original, free Mathlibs.org™ content, empowering students to build and solve their own math problems. We’re also regularly posting more fun free stuff in our Fun Feed.

Mini-Courses

Series of blog posts have been grouped into mini-courses. All free for you, here online.

Founded in the 1990s, kidCourses started as a New York-based initiative offering live courses exclusively within the state. Our standout program, the ABC Signs Program, brought the joys of sign language to preschoolers on Long Island at no cost. Interestingly, when we sought to volunteer our services at a local library, we were told "We don't accept volunteers, we need to pay you."

For Jessika, the experience was doubly rewarding. As a mom, she could earn while involving her young children in a positive educational setting. Our core mission has been consistent—to motivate children toward lifelong learning, cultivate creativity, and emphasize the importance of positivity and enjoyment in the education process.


In the intervening years, life happened. The kids grew up, and a move to the West Coast initiated a hiatus from live courses. However, we've adapted by digitizing our content and are pleased to introduce the new kidCourses.com. Here, we continue to offer quality resources like MathLibs.org™, which has gained recognition from esteemed organizations such as PBSTeachers and the NCTM.

We invite your feedback and are open to suggestions for future offerings.


Kids Rule!

Healthy, happy kids!
