Press release from: Movile

CANADA -- (June 17, 2016) -- Today, PlayKids, the leading mobile entertainment and education platform for children, announces that it has added French-language TV shows and books to its extensive repertoire of leading kid’s content in Canada.

Recent Harvard studies have shown that kids three and up have a substantial cognitive head start on learning languages. That’s why PlayKids offers multiple language options, with French becoming the fifth language on the app in addition to Chinese, English, Portuguese and Spanish. Language availability varies by country.

Millions of kids across hundreds of countries each month use PlayKids to learn, play and laugh. Now, kids in Canada can access more than 100 books and 50 episodes of all time favourite shows in French, in addition to thousands of others in English. The new shows join other classic series like “Caillou”, “Disney Learning”, “Super Why”, “Sid the Science Kid”, “Lalaloopsy”, “Angry Birds”, “Yo Gabba Gabba”, “Shaun the Sheep”, “The Wiggles” and Sesame Street.

“Our own data has shown that parents globally want their kids to grow up speaking multiple languages; for instance we’ve seen a large demand for Spanish-language content in the United States and English-language shows in China,” explained Eduardo Henrique, Head of Global Expansion at PlayKids. “We’re proud to be a part of a well rounded effort of teaching kids to be global citizens, now with French language content in Canada.”

With PlayKids, families with kids two and up can access:

PlayKids: The original app offers more than 3,000 shows, games, sing-a-longs, activities and lullabies. It’s also the only place kids can watch Superhands, over 3 hours of PlayKids’ original kid’s show that teaches kids to craft and learn about the ABCs, numbers, music, science, cultures, sleeping, brushing their teeth and more.

Stories: For a universe of storytelling, parents turn to Stories, which has more than 400 hundred eBooks organized by format: interactive, read-aloud, theme and a child’s suggested age. Stories make it easy to find the perfect read allowing parents to adapt to individual learning styles and imaginations. Its library includes 80 Disney classics like Pocahontas, Alice in Wonderland, Frozen and Inside Out.

Talk: A fun and safe tool for instant messaging, stimulating kids, from two years old, to communicate and share their daily adventures. Talk allows them to enrich their stories with the possibility of telling them through text or voice messages, emoticons, colorful stickers and fun photos

Party: Additionally, kids can play games on Party, an open-ended adventure game filled with activities and games and PlayKids’ cast of characters: Mimi the bunny, Kate the kitten, Theo the turtle and Junior.

PlayKids contents are available offline with no Internet access and are compatible with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple TV as well as Android phones and tablets.

Download PlayKids in the App Store and Google Play.
