Yet, too many children do not have access to pre-kindergarten or only have access to low quality or unaffordable programs and solutions. Numerous studies have demonstrated the benefits of early childhood interventions and have shown that kindergarten readiness is a leading indicator of future success. What’s more is Khan Academy Kids will be distributed to children, families, and educators for free. Khan Academy Kids, targeting two- to five-year-old children, was developed in partnership with leading educators at Stanford University and the National Head Start Association, and created by Caroline Hu Flexer and her team who built the award-winning Duck Duck Moose apps.

T oday, Khan Academy announces the launch of Khan Academy Kids - the first early learning platform that is both personalized and focused on the whole child - and we could not be more excited for them as a respected leader in children’s education as well as one of Omidyar Network’s investees who we initially supported to expand into early learning.
