Time 4 Learning experience/reviews?

Would love any experience/reviews of Time4learning dot com. Looking to change it up a bit for my kids. Having a hard time keeping up with everything. They are age Prek, 1st gr, 3rd gr, and 5th gr. So tell me the good and the bad!

Thanks!

oh, and I know it is secular, but would it fit well in a Christian home?

 

I would call it a fun supplement, but I wouldn't use it for my entire curriculum.

 

I used it for a time as a supplement to our curriculum. I liked that you had access to grades above and below the grade you choose. I didn't much care for their language arts area; it was extremely repetitive and dull. However, it's been a couple of years since we've used it, and it may be somewhat different now.

I'm not sure what exactly you're wanting, but you might look at always-icecream.com and clever-dragons.com. They're more flexible on grade levels [you can access whatever span you'd like] and have a wider array of subjects. They're running lifetime specials right now.

 

Thanks!

It hasn't changed much in the past six going on seven years that I have used it. I have used it off and on for all three children. It's a good supplement and when we are on the move and I don't want to take books along with me. It goes up to 8th grade but by the time my oldest was in upper elementary age she got bored with it. The last she used it was in 6th grade. I just restarted it with my younger two who are working at 2/3 grade level.
I did a review for it once they started offering a free month for a review but never got a free month but I did get a response saying something along the lines of thanks for a positive review.
right now i am paying monthly but there is an option (you mail in the payment) for a year. they are doing where you can recieve a gift of a month, three months or a year for a discount price and my mom is going going to send us a gift of a year for both 7 and 8 year old. The next year is going to be really crazy so its going to be nice to have it for them, plus it helps keep them busy while working with the oldest one.

 

My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE Time4Learning and wish they could just do that all day long. We use it as a supplement though. I think it's a bit weak in all areas, but half the battle is getting the kids to love what they are doing. Some days / weeks they learn a lot more from Time4Learning (because they have so much fun with it) than they do from anything else. It's also nice when the kids can see the same topics they've learned in their regular curriculum, presented in a different way. For the price, I'd definitely give it a try!
