The all-inclusive subscription service offers educational, yet entertaining, content and apps mapped to Common Core Standards with an emphasis on STEM learning.

Samsung collaborated with Fingerprint, a leading children’s education and entertainment company, to help design and develop an innovative, kid-friendly experience anchored by brands and characters children already love from DreamWorks Animation, The Jim Henson Company, Highlights for Children, HiT Entertainment, National Geographic, PBS KIDS, Sesame Workshop and other popular children’s content creators.

“Samsung Kids delivers on the promise of fun learning combined with a safe, high-value proposition for parents,” said John Pleasants, executive vice president at Samsung Media Solutions Center America. “We’ve created an engaging experience that gets kids playing in less than five minutes and keeps them learning for hours.”

The fun learning service features an interactive dial user interface (UI), echoing the intuitive and instant discovery UI of Samsung Milk Music. The Samsung Kids UI loads directly at boot-up providing an interface that offers categories such as:

  • “Featured,” which showcases the latest apps;
  • “Starter Pack,” with more than 20 apps valued at $75;
  • “Games,” including word games, puzzles, books and more; and
  • “My Stuff,” where kids can return to apps already downloaded.

Along with a robust library of engaging content and apps handpicked by child development and educational experts, Samsung Kids helps parents monitor and control their children’s mobile experience. The convenient dashboard lets them limit how much time their child can spend on the tablet and apps, as well as monitor what content their child has been enjoying and how they are progressing. Parents can monitor time spent on educational content versus playing games. Once a child has reached the set time limits, they will need to get parental permission to access the content further.

Samsung Kids is now available for a subscription price of $4.99 per month with purchase of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet (suggested retail price of Samsung Kids is $7.99 per month). This includes all the content available in the Samsung Kids library, ensuring no in-app purchases and no advertisements. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet comes with a 3-month trial of the service and launches with hundreds of educational apps all mapped to Common Core Standards, with new apps added monthly for a renewed experience. Kids can get playing and learning quickly with more than 20 starter-pack apps, which are also available to non-subscribers, a $75 value.

Beginning today, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite tablet is on sale at Best Buy, Toys R Us, Amazon.com, Fry’s, Curacao, hh gregg, PC Richard & Son, BrandsMart, ABC Warehouse, RC Willey, Electronic Express, Adorama, B&H Photo, Data Vision, and Newegg for $149 MSRP.
