Frequently asked questions.

thekidspick is an independently edited directory of websites, apps, videos, games, downloadable materials, museums, and other resources for children and their grown-ups. Each listing explains what it offers, who it may suit, and what families should check before use.

We review learning and discovery value, age fit, experience quality, access, trust signals, and the evidence available from the provider. Scores are editorial signals to support comparison, not guarantees or scientific measurements.

A score summarizes the current editorial evaluation of a resource. Collection pages may also use collection-specific relevance, so a resource’s global score and its position in a particular collection are not necessarily the same thing.

Age ranges are normalized guidance based on the provider’s information and our review of the experience. Children differ, so adults should preview content and consider reading level, independence, interaction design, and any adult support needed.

Not always. We separate free access from registration, paid options, advertising, and platform requirements when we can verify them. Check the provider’s current terms, pricing, privacy policy, and account requirements before use.

No. Inclusion and ranking are not sold placement. A provider may suggest a resource or request a correction, but editorial evaluation remains separate from promotion.

Screenshots show the provider experience we reviewed at a particular point in time. They help families understand the format and content, but they can become outdated as a provider changes its site or product.

Open the resource’s “Report an issue” link or use the suggestion form. You can report a broken URL, incorrect age range, outdated screenshot, missing platform, language issue, or another factual correction.

Yes. Use the “Suggest a resource” link in the navigation or footer. We check for duplicate identities, verify the provider information, and decide whether the resource fits the directory before publication.

No. A directory listing or score is not a safety, privacy, accessibility, or educational-effectiveness guarantee. Adults should review current provider policies and supervise accounts, downloads, purchases, external links, and community features.
