Playgroup Courses: A First Structured Start, Free
At playgroup a child is not yet reading, so every question here is spoken aloud and answered by tapping a picture. Nothing on this level asks a child to read a word before they can.
The courses are short by design. Two units per subject, two lessons per unit, a few minutes each. A child who finishes one and wants to do it again is consolidating, which is exactly what this stage is for.

- Science starts at Kindergarten. At playgroup the same curiosity is covered inside My World and Health.
- Pakistan Studies starts at Kindergarten. Playgroup covers family, home and the things around a child instead.

What playgroup is actually for
- Recognition, not mastery. Knowing that this shape is a circle and that this sound belongs to that picture is the whole job.
- Counting to five with meaning beats reciting to twenty without it. The counting lessons let a child tap each object as they count, which is how the idea of quantity actually forms.
- Attention runs to a few minutes. A lesson that ends while the child is still interested has done its job better than one that outlasts them.
Questions parents ask
- Does my child need to read to use this?
- No. Every prompt is read aloud automatically and every answer is a picture or a single spoken word.
- How long should a session be?
- One lesson, which is a few minutes. Two or three short sessions a week is plenty at this age.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Every lesson on every level is free, with no advertising and no in-app purchases.
