I tried Time4Learning for one month in exchange for this review. All opinions expressed here are honest and my own. Time4Learning can be used as a homeschool curriculum, for after school enrichment and for summer skill sharpening.
For the past 30 days, Kelly and Lyssa were given an awesome opportunity of trying out Time4Learning. Time4Learning is an online learning program designed for:
- Homeschool
- After School Learning
- Summer Use
Since we are homeschoolers, we viewed it as a homeschooling supplement as we are pursuing the eclectic approach this year, it makes it fun and never boring. You can however even use Time4Learning as a full homeschool curriculum as well as there are even printables and tests and online quizzes to keep your child on their toes. They keep records and printing reports easy. The site's navigation is very easy and welcoming. Parents and students can create their own logins. The children get to select a cute profile photo as their login icon. They really liked that a lot. Each time they login counts as attendance for that day. You can allow them to do as many lessons you wish along with printables that go along with the lesson. It's great!
Not sure what level your child is at? Time4Learning allows you to go a grade forward or back or whatever fits your child's needs. This is a definite plus. I would love to be able to give them more time with the program to see what their potential is. Getting them ahead is my goal.
Since Kelly is in the 5th grade, her account was created through the "Upper Level" {4th-8th Grade}. Lyssa's account was created in the "Lower Level" {Pre-K-3rd} as a 2nd grader. They were able to select science, math, language arts and social studies along with Language Arts extensions. I loved how they incorporated learning videos and ideas to keep kids engaged. Kelly loved the learning videos. Lyssa enjoyed the games on Time4Learning. Each child also has a playground that offers all sorts of fun and educational learning games. We utilized the playground after they did the core subjects.
Do I like Time4Learning? Yes, I do. I am still back and forth if I would use it as a full curriculum or as a supplement. Either way, I would love for my children to utilize this online program. I am currently trying to determine if it will be in our budget as I really would like to continue.
Did my girls like the Time4Learning experience? Yes they did. In fact they loved it! They actually asked and looked forward to going on every day. This is a good sign for a learning program that offers what children need in specific grade levels as well as specific learning needs.
With that said, I would recommend Time4Learning to any family whether as a homeschool curriculum or as a summer school supplement or even after school supplement. Kids all learn at their own pace so a program like this is worth looking into.
