LittleLearn for parents — the calm control room
LittleLearn gives parents a calm, honest control room — usage, skills, eye-care settings and printables — computed on-device. There is nothing to subscribe to; child progress stays local unless a parent manually exports a backup.
The parent gate
Everything adult lives behind a gate: solve a simple addition question (e.g. “What is 5 + 7?”) or long-press the unlock line for two seconds. Children who wander into Parents see the gate, not the dashboard.
Today at a glance
The dashboard opens with a plain-language summary: minutes used today against the cap, how many eye breaks were taken, which worlds were touched, and whether the daily cap was reached. A weekly bar chart shows minutes per weekday, capped visually at 20 minutes per day.
Skill map as leaves, not scores
Six skill areas — literacy, numeracy, shapes, memory, logic and patterns — grow as leaves on a tree. Parents can see which areas are strong and which need practice; children only ever see stickers and stars.
Profiles and siblings
Create several explorer profiles on one device, each with its own avatar, age tier (3–4, 4–5, 5–6), navigation preference (icon-only, voice-guided or combined), daily cap and eye-filter state. Progress never mixes between siblings.
Daily challenges and the weekly plan
One offline challenge unlocks each day (14 in the pack) — “Find 3 circles at home”, “Say please and thank you three times” — and a structured 10-day weekly plan mixes literacy, numeracy, nature, life and creative focus days, each linked to printable worksheets and a plain-language parent tip.
Printables centre
Generate A4 PDFs on-device: 24 templates plus “print this week’s lessons” packs, exported as LittleLearn-Weekly-YYYY-MM-DD.pdf. Perfect for the daily cap: when screen time ends, paper play begins.
Privacy by design
Profiles, mastery, stickers and session logs live in browser localStorage on this device; they are not encrypted at rest. No cloud-sync service is connected. Parents can export or import plain JSON backups manually and should keep those files private. No ads, analytics SDKs or child accounts.
Parent questions, answered
How do I open the Parent Dashboard?
Tap the Parents button (👨👩👧) in the bottom navigation (or “Parents” in the website header) and pass the parent gate: answer the addition question, or press and hold the long-press line for two seconds.
Can I change the daily screen-time cap?
Yes — in Parent Mode under Eye Protection & Time, choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes per child profile. The header countdown updates immediately, and the cap screen offers printable worksheets when the time is up.
How do I see what my child practised this week?
The weekly chart in the dashboard shows minutes per day, and the skill-map leaves show which of the six areas grew. For a paper record, use the Printables Centre to export the week’s activities as a single A4 PDF pack.
Does LittleLearn work for more than one child?
Yes. Sibling mode lets you create multiple explorer profiles on the same device; each keeps its own progress, stickers, cap and eye settings. Switch profiles from the profile picker at launch.
