Smart Kidz On-Demand Radio Library REVIEW

 Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

Do you remember those old radio show programs (oh dear, my age is showing!)? Meet the modern version with an educational flair mixed in along with a kids version of online streaming radio! I was excited to be able to try Smart Kidz Radio: Member's On-Demand Radio Program Library from Smart Kidz Radio.  I received a free 6-month subscription to this educational and inspirational radio station for kids. It's not your average music streaming service. You do need wifi to access the service. 

A sampling of program groups available (there are MANY more!!)

There is so much more to this Radio Program Library than just streaming music.  Smart Kidz has a heart to not only help educate your child, but to help with character building, social skills, and positive values. The management team of the company has over 30 years of experience in the home educational market. There are over 3,000 children and family songs in the digital library.  With a paid subscription, you receive 1 new resource added to your library each week.

Christian Music and Bible Songs

Setting up an account is simple and easy and you log in quickly with your email and password.  Access to the streaming is completely free but the content is changing all the time.  To have access to all of the content all of the time including new content each week it is beneficial to have a paid membership.  If your child has a favorite story or song it may not be accessible for long without a paid membership since content changes all the time on the site.  Paid members have access to ALL of the content ALL of the time.

Story Time Programs

Once we logged on we were able to stream from the library right away and Little Bug was so excited to explore.  There is so much content!!  There is something for age groups from birth to age 10 and beyond.  It is geared more for the little ones but older kids and adults can also enjoy the classical music and some of the American Heritage songs.  Her current favorite is the Smart Kidz Storytime Programs.

Classical Music

The content easily plays in the background while you work on other things such as crafts or puzzles (which Little Bug adores!).  As a mom, I like that there are character-building content and other educational programs including Spanish, Music History, Science, Math, and Reading to name a few! Little Bug can easily navigate the dashboard to find what she wants to listen to (she is in 2nd grade).  There are even some options for downtime in the Bedtime, Affirmations & Relaxations program section.

Spanish

Another very positive aspect of the company is the Smart Kidz Radio Foundation -- "a non-profit foundation that will offer educational scholarships and financially support programs that give opportunities for young people to follow their dreams and make a difference in the world." (from website FAQ).  A portion of your membership fees (20%) goes to support this wonderful foundation.  In our ever changing, crazy world we live in it is nice to know there are still companies out there that want to sow positively into our youth, the future. 

We give Smart Kidz Radio: Member's On-Demand Radio Program Library a thumbs up.  You can't go wrong and can check them out for free.  If you want to see what you get with a paid membership there is a 14-day trial option to sign up for and test it out.  You can connect with Smart Kidz Radio on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, and PINTEREST.
