Novakid, a leading online English education provider, has launched Novakid Junior, a free app designed to make English learning natural and joyful. The app, available on both the App Store and Google Play, transforms early English education for children aged 2-6 through interactive, play-based learning.

Recent research from Novakid’s 2024 screentime survey, the data analysed from more than 5,000 families across 15 countries showed that the right screen time can be incredibly valuable for child development. This is echoed by the Common Sense Media Study which found that 75% of parents are excited about how their children can learn thanks to digital media.

‍

Max Azarov, CEO and co-founder of Novakid, believes that educational learning technology can be a powerful tool for learning when used correctly. “We know that parents may have concerns about their children spending a lot of time with screens, but our research shows that when they are used appropriately, they can transform a child’s approach to learning. We designed Novakid Junior to encourage parent-child interaction and to create a social and engaging experience that delights them as they learn.”

"Teaching English to toddlers is like planting a garden – you need to plant the seeds at the right time, when the soil is ready, and then give plenty of sunshine and water over several seasons," says Toby Mather, Product Director at Novakid. "Before Novakid Junior, kids would start English tutoring at 6 or 7, which is quite late. Now we’re able to plant the seeds earlier, when the child’s brain is most adapted to beginning to learn a second language. It won’t result in a mature plant without several years of watering and sunshine, but it’s a brilliant headstart."

‍

The app offers:

1. Interactive game-based learning activities
2. Flexible, repeatable lessons that fit family schedules
3. Parent-child bonding opportunities through shared learning
4. Speaking-focused exercises for natural language development
5. A user-friendly interface designed for young learners
