Deletion[edit]

wow that speedy deletion tag just took a minute!! ok before we delete this site... I'd ask that the notability discussion be held by parents. Sorry unless you're a parent (or a primary shool teacher) it won't surprise me if you don't get its notability. No offense.

The site is notable on these grounds:

it is completely free
it is without advertising
the content is of very very high quality
my 25 month old son is sitting beside me entertaining himself on it while learning to read!!
I have spent about 20 hours searching for educational content on the web and the only site that comes close is boowakwala.com and they have advertising

Let me also restate that the only relationship I have with the site is as a parent of users. If you don't believe me about the above go and spend 15 minutes looking around the site.
