Safety & Privacy

Keeping children safe online

Yes — child safety is our top priority. Every game on PlayWithLearn is designed to be safe, educational, and fully kid-friendly. Here's what we do to keep children safe:

  • No external links that could lead children off the platform
  • No violent, scary, or inappropriate content — ever
  • No chat features or social interactions
  • All content reviewed by early childhood educators
  • No personal data collected from children
Was this helpful?

No. We do not collect any personal information from children — or from anyone using our platform. There are no names, email addresses, phone numbers, or location data collected. We are fully COPPA compliant (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).

We only collect anonymous, non-identifiable usage data (such as which pages are visited) through Google Analytics to help us improve the website. You can read our full Privacy Policy for complete details.

PlayWithLearn may display ads served by Google AdSense on some pages of the website. These ads help us cover operating costs and keep the platform free for everyone.

Because our audience includes young children, all ads are configured as non-personalized — meaning they are not targeted based on user behaviour or personal data. Ads are placed in page areas that do not interrupt the gameplay experience inside games.

We take content safety very seriously. If you spot anything that seems inappropriate or out of place, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. Describe what you saw and on which page, and we will review and act on it within 24 hours.

Accounts & Sign-Up

Everything about registering (or not!)

No account needed! You can play all 60+ games on PlayWithLearn without signing up, logging in, or providing any personal information. Just visit the website and start playing instantly. We believe learning shouldn't have barriers — not even a sign-up form.

Was this helpful?

Currently, PlayWithLearn does not require accounts or store progress between sessions — which is intentional to protect children's privacy. Each session starts fresh. The "Recently Played" section on the homepage remembers your last few games within the same browser session.

We are always improving the platform. If progress tracking is something important to you, please let us know — your feedback shapes what we build next!

Was this helpful?

Yes! You can subscribe to our free newsletter at the bottom of the homepage to be among the first to know when new games and activities are added. We send occasional updates and never share your email with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Educational Content

About our games and learning approach

Our games are designed around early childhood learning foundations that align with the key developmental milestones taught in preschool and primary school. While they are not mapped to a single specific curriculum, they cover the core skills — numeracy, literacy, logic, creativity, and knowledge — that educators worldwide prioritise for ages 3–10.

Many teachers use our games as classroom supplements and brain-break activities. See our Parents Guide for more on the educational value of each category.

Was this helpful?

Absolutely! PlayWithLearn is free to use in any classroom setting. Teachers often use it on an interactive whiteboard for group play, or on student devices for independent learning time. No special license or permission is required — just visit the website and start playing.

If you're a teacher with specific requests or feedback, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected].

Was this helpful?

Yes, and we genuinely love hearing ideas from parents, teachers, and kids! Use our Contact page and select "Request a New Game" as the topic. Tell us what subject or skill you'd like to see, and the age group it's for. Many of our games have been inspired by suggestions from our community.
