Given the global situation, many countries have recently ordered the complete closure of kindergartens, schools and other places where people gather, for example, museums and cinemas.

Educational institutions, excluded from the daily, regular activities caused chaos and confusion. Moreover, parents faced problematic situations related to work and professional duties. As a result, they wonder how they can offer, continue and manage their children’s regular education activities at home.

The lockdown of schools and daycares actually makes our quality time with family much more fun and precious. It gives un an opportunity to review our bounds, talk, play and make stuff altogether.

There are a lot of educational platforms that offer free registration to help keep working our children from home and do not lose the spirit and still making it easier in terms of homeschooling.

There is Khan Academy, the best at the moment. Updated today and ready with the actual daily schedule!
