Researchers have proven that early language learning is crucial to a child’s mental development. According to longitudinal studies by Harvard University, learning additional languages increases critical thinking skills, creativity and flexibility of the mind in young children. The brain, like any muscle, functions better with exercise. Learning a language involves memorizing rules and vocabulary, which helps strengthen that mental muscle. Meanwhile, children are geniuses at learning as their brain grows tremendously to nearly the same size of an adult’s at their age of 6.

Monkey Junior aims at bringing early language learning to every single family in the world. We provide parents with a mobile solution which fits their pocket: a learn to read app with offline use. Their babies, toddlers and preschoolers will benefit from a comprehensive reading program which engages them in daily play-like activities year after year.
