An Innovative Approach to Early Education

iKnow ABC is an innovative, evidence-based, story-driven blended learning approach designed for early childhood education. Our program takes emergent readers on an epic quest around the world, where they search for animals and activate their secret letters. This adventure game integrates beginning reading, science, and technology, fostering social and emotional growth, character development, and a sense of global citizenship in both classroom and home settings.

The Science of Reading

Our curriculum is built to engage young learners through interactive storytelling and hands-on projects, ensuring that learning is both fun and effective. With a strong emphasis on the science of reading and holistic development, iKnow ABC supports children in becoming well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the challenges of the future.

Our Methodology

Our methodology embodies the notion that when you teach a child a fact – he may remember it, and when you show a child an example – she can describe it, but when you tell young children a captivating story set to music, the story and songs become a part of who they are, shape who they become, and stay with them for life. Our modern method uses a digital and project-based experiential approach to education.

Research Collaboration with UNLV and Lynn Bennett Early Childhood Education Center 2024-2025

We are proud to announce that iKnow ABC is now entering the fourth year of our collaborative research study with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and the Lynn Bennett Early Childhood Education Center. This study, focused on advancing early childhood education, utilizes a comprehensive mixed-methods approach. By combining surveys and interviews, we aim to explore and understand the complex dynamics that influence early childhood learning and development.

At iKnow ABC, our mission is to revolutionize early childhood education by providing a dynamic and engaging learning experience that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. Through our ongoing research collaboration with UNLV and the Lynn Bennett Early Childhood Education Center, we strive to continually improve our program based on the latest educational insights and feedback from the field.

STEAM Projects

This cross-curricular approach is an effective way to expand a child’s understanding that relationships exist between language, literacy and science. Children discover important science concepts like migration, solar energy, geography, eco-systems, and how animals live in harmony with nature. Children begin to link Earth, life, and physical science concepts to solve the clues.
