Smart Kidz Radio/ TOS Review

Smart Kidz Radio

Smart Kidz Radio

Let me tell you about a new radio station specifically for younger children called Smart Kidz Radio by Smart Kidz Media. 

Smart Kidz Radio is a free radio station designed for children ages 2 to 10. 

The station is part of the network of free educational websites administered by the Smart Kidz Academy, an organization that promotes the education of children. 

When you go to the station you will see a play button. The station is always playing music 24/7. It does seem like it plays some of the same songs. They are not always new songs. 
 


Some of the songs I heard were kind of interesting/odd. For example, there is a song that is all about how you are a boy or a girl and nothing can change that. I think I found the song odd, but I think it's because it is so odd that we NEED songs like this. Unfortunately in this day and age, we do. 

The songs seem to be a little more on the old fashioned side. They are not modern songs, but my 3 year old really enjoyed them. 

In addition to the live streaming of music, there is a menu button in the bottom left hand corner, where you can find fairy tales such as Cinderella, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Tortoise and the Hare. 

This is my favorite part of the radio station. The fairy tales are nicely spoken with pretty music playing in the background. 

The point of this radio station is to help children learn valuable life skills, help them gain a positive self-esteem and to gain positive character traits and strong moral values. 

There is definitely not another radio station out there like this, at least not that I know of!

You can also send the stream to your mobile phone! This would be great for on the go! Anything my son can do on the phone will keep him occupied for a period of time so I can get things done! 
There are two programming sections to the radio station. 

  1. Free Live Stream Programming. A free live stream radio programs is featured 24/7 over a designated period of time and then, periodically, a new live stream program is rotated in for another designated period of time.
  2. Upgrade to On-Demand Programming. Members can upgrade their account which allows them to select from several radio programs on an on-demand basis (Upgrade requires a small monthly fee to access hundreds of songs and stories on-demand)
 I think there is a real need for this kind of programming for our kids. I do, personally, wish the songs were a bit more modern, but my 3 year old son really enjoyed the songs and the music and started asking me if he could listen to "his" music. 

There is a FAQ page that will help to answer any questions you may have about Smart Kidz Radio
