Educational Apps for Preschoolers

March 13, 2020 By Erica Leggiero, M.S. Ed. Leave a Comment

I’m writing and putting together this list of educational apps for preschoolers very quickly admist our current state of affairs: Coronavirus outbreak. I’m so worried that many kids, including my own preschool students, will just be stuck on their tablets for the next 3 weeks and that breaks my heart. We live in a day in age where it’s just easier for them to be entertained by the devices, I get it. But, please don’t let this be the only interaction your kids receive educationally during this school break. Kids love their devices, they are more inclined to tell me at school about their latest app or newest device they received. I hear more about devices and video games than I hear about anything else.

I decided to put this list together for some educational apps your kids could play. If they are going to be on their devices, at least let it be to learn, rather than just veg out on YouTube.
