ABCmouse.com; Ages: Preschool through Kindergarten; $7.95 per month or $79 per year

Our family has been following the development of ABCmouse.com, an award winning educational website for preschoolers and kindergartners. My daughter, who’s now in kindergarten, started exploring the site about a year ago and quickly learned to maneuver her way through the virtual classroom. ABCmouse.com has layers and layers of learning and the depth of discovery covers letters, numbers, music and problem solving for children of all learning levels. Children accumulate tickets after completing each activity, and can redeem them for items to fill a virtual fish tank or decorate a virtual bedroom. ABCmouse.com recently released The Letter Songs A to Z, an album with 26 songs in all genres of music to help children learn the names and sounds of the letters of the alphabet. The Letter Songs A to Z is available on iTunes.
