Website of the Week: Kindersay

May 29th 2009 06:00
I just discovered a really great website that parents of preschoolers would appreciate. It's called Kindersay and it offers educational videos for free. The videos help young children develop a wider vocabulary and its especially helpful to kids who are learning English as their second language.

See for yourself by visiting their website I'm not connected in any way to this website, or for that matter, to all the other websites I feature here on my blog. I just like sharing these resources especially when I find them helpful and educational.
