Top 25 YouTube channels for School Kids!

By Categories: 

 Screen time that actually makes you feel good about parenting. Because yes, there IS such a thing as guilt-free YouTube binges for your kids.

We've all been there: your 8-year-old is glued to their tablet, and you're mentally calculating screen time minutes while wondering if you're damaging their developing brain. But here's what nobody talks about—that screen time might actually be making them smarter.

Welcome to free online learning, where your kid can go from random toy videos to mastering fractions, and you can finally stop feeling guilty.

The Money Talk (Or Lack Thereof)


Remember when good programs meant choosing between rent and enrichment classes? Those days are over. The internet has become incredibly generous—amazing educational content that doesn't cost anything.

Sarah, a mom of two from Phoenix, puts it well: "My daughter was obsessed with art, but private lessons were ₹5000 a month. Now she's learning digital illustration from professional artists online for free. Sometimes I feel like I'm getting away with something."

From ABCs to Advanced Topics


The subject range is incredible. Everything from shoe-tying tutorials for preschoolers to coding bootcamps for tweens. Your 5-year-old can learn Spanish through cartoon characters, while your teenager builds their first robot.

Take 12-year-old Rishi from Chennai, who started watching electronics videos during lockdown and now builds gaming controllers. His mom laughs: "I worried he was spending too much time online, but he was getting a head start on engineering."

Self-Paced Learning That Works

Here's what's different—kids can learn the way they actually learn. You know how your daughter will watch the same Disney movie 47 times but can't sit through a 20-minute math lesson? Online channels understand this. Kids can replay confusing parts, speed through familiar material, and take breaks without disrupting anyone.

"My son has ADHD, and traditional classrooms were tough," explains Maria from Denver. "Online, he can pause when he needs to move, rewind when his attention drifts, and learn at 6 AM when his brain works best. It's been transformative."

Parents Benefit Too

These channels aren't just saving your sanity—they're making parenting easier. Many include downloadable activities, discussion guides, and projects that extend learning beyond screen time. Suddenly you're suggesting educational crafts instead of frantically googling "rainy day activities."

Beyond Traditional Subjects

This goes beyond better math skills. Kids learn emotional intelligence through storytelling channels, cultural awareness through virtual museum tours, and problem-solving through kitchen science experiments.

Ten-year-old Zarina from Mumbai recently presented about ocean conservation after a marine biology YouTube deep-dive. "She knows more about coral reefs than most adults," her dad admits. "All because she thought sea turtles were cute."

The Reality

Screen time isn't the solution to everything, and kids still need outdoor play and human interaction. But when that screen time teaches Mandarin, introduces coding, or shows watercolor techniques? That's worth feeling proud of, not guilty about.

The best part? This isn't temporary. This is how education works now. Quality learning, available to anyone with internet access, designed to engage and entertain.

So next time your kid watches an educational video, pour yourself coffee and feel good about it. You're not just surviving modern parenting you're doing great. 

Here are just a few:

LKG Admissions @ SBOA School and Junior College 2012 - 2013

By
I'm putting my second child in SBOA this year, and the first round of admissions are in progress. My! the fees have gone up this year, but looking at the other schools, including Matric schools, SBOA has managed to keep the fees lower than the city average. The admission process was smooth and quick. We finished meeting the Principal in about 30mins from the time we got there. All that's left is, to pay the fees and start the joining formalities. I'm glad that my kid got in, as I already have another child studying in 1st Std in SBOA. She enjoys going to school. At 50 kids a class, it is a crowd but their systematic way of doing things more than makes up for it. Good luck to all those applying for admissions @ SBOA this year.   For more info check at the below site http://www.sboajc.org/admission.html Photo courtesy Stuart Miles @ freedigitalimages.net

Changes for the 2014 Academic Year - KG to Std XII

By
The coming academic year 2014, will see quite a few changes as SBOA School and Junior College aligns itself to the CBSE suggested Guidelines. Though most of the CBSE schools in Chennai city have implemented these earlier, SBOA has taken into consideration, parents and students and have given them sufficient time to adjust to these transitions. The New academic year will start in April 2014 versus the usual June re-opening. So that means earlier exams this year for the primary sections. And also the single long summer holidays would be split into a few weeks in March and most probably a month in May. (This was already in place from last year for classes VI and up.) Also there is going to be a shift from the usual Trimester pattern to a Semester Pattern. This was again implemented earlier for classes 6 and up bur only now being introduced in the primary sections. The school starting timings have been revised for classes 6 and up at 8:15 am and for the lower c...

Robotics @ SBOA

By
The new ROBOTIX classes are all set to begin around the end of August. When we started learning computers, remember our parents hardly knew anything about it, now life has come a full circle with our kids getting into robotics. If you are anything like me, then you don't have a clue! As I persisted researching the topic, few things became clearer. The basic requirements for robotics is not just imagination and curiosity, it also needs tons of patience and perseverance. It seems to help the kids explore their creativity, develop some personality (remember patience & preseverence!) and in the process add on to their existing knowledge of Math, Physics and Computer Programming. I believe for the tiny tots, it would be very basic and more advanced for the older kids. The fees for the ROBOTIX class in school is Rs.2000 One class per week is conducted and the days are Monday for 1st & 2nd std Wednesday for 3rd & 4th std Thursday for 5th & 6th std Friday fo...
