Netflix & Learn
With our kids all learning from home right now, so many of us need to rely on technology to help with teaching. Whether it’s connecting with teachers, downloading work or finding online resources for learning, we are so lucky to live in a time that so much is available at our fingertips…literally!
It’s no secret that we all love Netflix. It’s full of all kinds of movies, shows and documentaries but also a great place to find entertaining educational content for your kids, from babies and preschoolers up through high school (and beyond!).
You can browse all of the titles in the kids education by clicking HERE but check out some of our personal favorites below:
