#1 Homeschool Website Launches Unique Kid Safe Internet Software With Parental Controls
Escondido, CA – July 13, 2006, Children's Educational Network (CEN) announced today the release of TUKI Homeschool.com Kid Safe Internet Browser that will soon be available to over 2.5 million homeschool parents. This release marks the completion of phase one announced in March 2006 as part of an ongoing joint venture.
Developed using Children’s Educational Network’s proprietary technology, homeschool.com will offer parents this unique internet kid safe browser that can be downloaded and installed on any of their home computers, whether used by kids or parents. The software provides a safe heaven for children to navigate only safe, parent-approved, child-appropriate websites. Additionally the software provides kids with novel entertainment and extraordinary educational content.
Unlike a typical internet filter, this kid safe browser uses an "include list" methodology that is considered the safest and most reliable strategy, according to industry experts. Parental controls provide the confidence and peace of mind through a safe and secure umbrella of approved friends and safe websites when children surf the Internet and exchange email.
“The educational aspects are endless and we are proud to be a part of Children’s Educational Network’s mission to protect and educate children online”, said Rebecca Kochenderfer, co-founder of Homeschool.com.
"We are very pleased to have achieved another major milestone with our newest partner in the crusade to protect kids from online predators, hate, violence, drugs and pornography while embracing a family’s dedication to home-based education”, said Greg Writer, CEO of Children’s Educational Network.
The TUKI Homeschool.com Kid Safe Internet Browser will provide a safe haven for children surfing the Internet, be positive, instructive and deliver daily educational content to children and their parents in an effort to teach correct safety rules and netiquette. I am extremely excited to have forged this alliance with the #1 home school training and education site in the nation, if not the world.
The TUKI Homeschool.com Kid Safe Internet Browser is available as a free download from the website http://www.homeschool.com. The kid safe browser and safety features offered for free will be bundled with educational content and a closed filtered buddies-only email system that incorporates personal information filters and language filters to help prevent children from giving out their personal information and from using inappropriate language. These premium features, along with many others, are part of Children’s Educational Network’s “TUKI Kids Club” and are offered for a monthly fee of $4.97, or annually at $47, or lifetime at $97. Additional premium features are under development and will be part of the TUKI Kids Club Membership.
