In this unprecedented situation and with many working from home or otherwise generally homebound, we've put together a list of educational resources to help keep kids learning and engaged! Take a look through the below table for any links which may be of interest!

As per governmental advice, AppsAnywhere staff are now working from home in order to stem the spread of coronavirus, as are many of our customers. In trying times such as these it is important to remain positive and look forward; the virus will pass and life will return to normal. In times like these, our kids look up to us and learn from our responses, and so a level-headed and constructive approach to the circumstances may be one of the greatest lessons we can give to our next generation.

In the interest of this, we have found the following resources to be fantastic for providing some semblance of normality to our children, helping them learn and grow through these times, and permitting you to continue your work from home with hopefully a little less worry on your mind.
