Following is a list of Web Sites that are fun, educational, cultural, interesting, and (most importantly) SAFE for Kids!

If your child uses the Internet, it is important to keep tabs on where they go, because we all know that there is much questionable material on the Internet, just as there is questionable material all around us. 

However, no filter can replace the parent.  We encourage you to read and judge for yourselves what you deem appropriate for your children.  We have tried very hard to include Sites with both educational and fun material that is safe and geared toward kids. 

Perhaps this will allow you to help your children learn by using the latest medium, opening the world of technology to them, and, you may even have fun, too!  ENJOY!
