Learning games your classroom can trust
The Learning Garden is a privacy-first, ad-free set of 34 hand-crafted games for ages 3–6. Everything is spoken aloud and the buttons are big pictures, so pre-readers play on their own — and no child ever needs an account.
Why it works in a classroom
It was built for how small children actually learn — and for the realities of a room full of them on shared devices.
No student logins
Kids tap a game and play. There are no usernames or passwords to hand out, reset, or keep track of.
No student data — and it's provable
Nothing is collected about the child: no name, no analytics, no trackers. You can verify it in a minute with the one-tap self-test on our Trust & Proof page.
No ads or distractions, ever
No pop-ups, no upsells mid-game, nothing pulling a child off task. The screen only ever shows the game.
Every instruction spoken aloud
Because the games read themselves to the child, pre-readers stay independent — you're freed up to work with a small group.
Levels self-differentiate
Each game has built-in levels that grow with the child, so a mixed-age or mixed-ability group all get the right challenge from the same game.
Runs on anything with a browser
Chromebooks, iPads, tablets, or the classroom smartboard — it's a web app, so there's nothing to install and no app store to wait on.
Aligned to standards you already use
The 34 games span six early-learning areas, and every skill is mapped to the frameworks teachers know.
Alignments are mapped to the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (birth–5) and the Common Core standards for kindergarten. The full skills-and-standards map shows, game by game, exactly which skill each one builds and where it lines up.
Three ways to use it
Whole group on the smartboard
Because every prompt is spoken and the buttons are big pictures, a single game on the projector works for the whole class — children call out the answer and you tap, or take turns coming up to the board.
Centers & stations
Drop it into your rotation on tablets or Chromebooks. With no logins to manage and levels that adjust to each child, a station just works — children can start and switch games entirely on their own.
Independent play & early finishers
For a child who finishes early or needs a calm, purposeful moment, the games are self-guided and ad-free — real practice, never busywork, with nothing you need to set up first.
Free to start, simple to unlock
Nine games are free forever — no sign-up, no accounts — plus a rotating free game of the week. When you're ready for the rest, a Garden Key unlocks all 34.
A Garden Key unlocks all 34 games. Kids still never need an account; a single grown-up email is optional, just to sync progress across devices. See pricing for the details.

Questions teachers ask
Do students need accounts or logins?
No. Kids never sign in and never need an account — they tap a game and play. A grown-up account is optional (one teacher or parent email) and exists only to sync progress across devices.
Do you collect any student data?
No — nothing about the child. No name, email, location, voice recordings, or analytics on children. And it's verifiable: open your browser's network tools on any game page and watch it talk to no one, or run the one-tap self-test on our Trust & Proof page.
Does it work on Chromebooks?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser — Chromebooks, iPads, tablets, or a desktop — with nothing to install. It's a web app, so there's no app-store approval to wait on, and it works offline once loaded.
Is it really free for my classroom?
The 9-game sampler is free forever, with no accounts and no sign-up, plus a rotating free game of the week. A Garden Key unlocks all 34 games — $5.99/month, $39.99/year, or $99 once for forever access.
Can I project it for the whole class?
Yes. Every instruction is spoken aloud and the buttons are big pictures, so it works well on a projector or smartboard for whole-group play — even before children can read.
The Learning Garden is an independent studio. Because no student data is collected and children need no logins, it's straightforward to use under COPPA — including the April 2026 amendment — and FERPA. Our standards alignments are our own mapping to two public frameworks and aren't an endorsement by either.
