Trying Out ABC Mouse Early Learning Academy

I’ve been seeing the ABC Mouse ads on TV since my son was born, and the Disney channel became a constant companion. So, when they recently contacted me about giving them a try for a review, I was excited to sign up and check it out.

Exploring ABC Mouse: A Digital Learning Platform for Young Kids

ABCmouse is a subscription-based educational program created by Age of Learning, Inc. The platform organizes its content into a structured “Learning Path,” which guides children step by step through more than 850 lessons.

Along the way, kids engage with over 10,000 activities—from games and puzzles to songs, digital books, and art projects—all designed to reinforce what they’re learning.

So far, my son is really enjoying the ABC Mouse early learning academy program. He’s a fan of Reading Eggs, but he’s gone through most of the games on there and is always asking to play on “mommy’s computer.”

ABC Mouse starts out with as assessment test, but we only got through one section before he was losing interest, so I quickly jumped to the games section and was happy to see there are LOTS of games!

Earning Tickets and Prizes

He really enjoyed earning the tickets, which he used to buy himself a pet bunny. I’m not sure what else you can use the tickets for yet, but he really liked feeding and bathing his new virtual pet.

He also enjoyed playing a game where you feed a dinosaur and one where you count eggs. Each activity ends with earning a certain amount of tickets.

While I’ve been having trouble getting him to enjoy actual books, he’s always happy to play on the computer. I guess it’s just the new digital generation! I’m just glad to have found some sort of educational activity he enjoys.

I’m looking forward to exploring more of the ABC Mouse program! If you’d like to check them out just head to www.ABCmouse.com

Features That Stand Out

One of ABC Mouse’s biggest strengths is how comprehensive it is. Rather than focusing on just one subject, it blends literacy, math, and general knowledge in a way that feels seamless.

The program also adapts as kids progress, letting them move ahead when they’re ready while giving parents the ability to track progress.

Another reason many families like ABCmouse is its accessibility. It works across devices—computers, tablets, and phones—so kids can learn wherever they are. For those worried about keeping learning engaging, the platform’s gamified elements—like earning rewards and customizing avatars—help keep young learners motivated.

Things to Keep in Mind

While ABC Mouse offers a lot of value, it’s not without its considerations. After the free trial, there’s a monthly subscription cost. Younger children may also need guidance to navigate activities, and as with any digital program, balancing screen time is important.

It’s also worth noting that although ABC Mouse adapts to children’s progress, it may not always match every child’s learning style. Parents often find the best results when they use it alongside hands-on play, reading together, and other offline activities.

Final Thoughts

ABC Mouse shines as a resource that makes learning engaging, structured, and fun for young kids. It’s not a replacement for playtime or hands-on experiences, but when used as part of a balanced routine, it can give children a strong foundation in key subjects while helping them develop a love for learning.

And I’m all for anything that gets my son interested in learning!
