Love how Starfall makes early reading click? The Learning Garden keeps the spoken-aloud phonics joy — and widens it into numbers, shapes, feelings and story — for preschool and kindergarten (ages 3–6), with zero ads and provable zero data.
▶ Play Poppy's Letter Picnic — free🔒 Plays instantly in your browser · no download · nothing collected about your child
Starfall earned its following by making the very first steps of reading feel warm and playful, with letters and sounds spoken clearly aloud. If that's what you're looking for, The Learning Garden speaks the same language: Melody's Sound Safari tunes a child's ear to first sounds, Poppy's Letter Picnic pairs each letter with the sound it makes, and Echo's Word Eggs has children blend those sounds to read a whole word.
Where it grows further is breadth. The same gentle, narrated approach carries across numbers, shapes, colors, feelings, music, story and first coding — so one calm place covers far more than reading alone, right through to kindergarten. Everything is spoken aloud, there are no ads, and nothing is collected about your child.
See exactly what each game builds on the full skills & standards map, covering Head Start ELOF and Common Core for kindergarten.
Made for parents who read the fine print. The Learning Garden shows zero ads, uses no trackers or analytics, and collects nothing about your child — and you don't have to take our word for it. See the proof and test it yourself →
