Sikids is a subscription service for children's educational content and activities
Sikids is a digital subscription platform that delivers educational videos, interactive lessons, and activities designed for children. The service focuses on subjects like math, reading, science, and social-emotional learning. Content is organized by grade level, so parents and teachers can find material matched to a child's age and academic stage.
The subscription works through a web browser or mobile app. Once you pay for a monthly or annual plan, you get access to the full library of videos and lessons. There is no per-video charge — you pay one price and can use as much content as you want during your subscription period.
Sikids is not a tutoring service or a replacement for school. It is a supplemental resource: something you use alongside regular classroom instruction to reinforce what a child is learning, fill gaps, or explore topics in more depth.

How to set up a Sikids subscription
To start, go to the Sikids website and select the plan you want. Sikids typically offers monthly and annual options. Annual plans usually cost less per month than paying month-to-month, but you pay the full year upfront.
You will need to create an account with an email address and password. During signup, you will enter payment information — a credit card or debit card. Sikids will charge your card on the date you choose each billing cycle.
After payment processes, you can create a child profile. You select your child's grade level or age, and Sikids customizes the content recommendations. You can create multiple child profiles under one account if you have more than one child.
Once the profile is set up, you can start watching videos and completing lessons right away. No waiting period or approval process is involved — your access begins when ready after payment clears.
What content is included in a Sikids subscription
Sikids includes videos that teach core academic subjects: math, language arts, science, and social studies. Videos are typically 5 to 15 minutes long, short enough for a child to watch in one sitting. Each video focuses on a single concept — for example, "adding two-digit numbers" or "the water cycle" — rather than trying to cover a whole unit.
Beyond videos, the subscription includes interactive activities and quizzes. After watching a lesson, a child can answer questions or complete exercises that reinforce what they just learned. These activities give when ready feedback, so a child knows right away whether they understood the material.
The library also includes worksheets and printable resources that parents or teachers can read and use offline. Some subscriptions include access to teacher guides or lesson plans that explain how to use Sikids content in a classroom setting.
The exact content available depends on which Sikids plan you choose. Some plans cover kindergarten through fifth grade; others extend into middle school. Check the plan details before you purchase to make sure it covers the grades you need.
Pricing and billing for Sikids
Sikids offers both monthly and annual subscription plans. Monthly plans let you pay a smaller amount each month but cost more overall. Annual plans require you to pay for the whole year at once but have a lower monthly cost when you divide the total by 12.
The exact price varies depending on which plan you choose — different grade ranges or content packages may have different costs. Some plans cover a single child; others allow multiple child profiles. Check the Sikids website for current pricing, as rates change and may vary by region.
Your subscription renews automatically on the same day each month or year, depending on which plan you chose. Your payment method will be charged automatically. If you want to cancel before the next renewal date, you can do that through your account settings, and your access will end on the date your current subscription expires.
Sikids does not offer refunds for partial months or years. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until the end of that billing period, but you will not receive money back for the unused time.
How to use Sikids with your child
Log into your account and select your child's profile. The home screen will show recommended videos based on your child's grade level. You can browse by subject or search for a specific topic if you are looking for something particular.
Click on a video to play it. Most videos are designed for independent viewing — a child can watch alone — but you can also watch together and pause to discuss what they are learning. After the video ends, your child can complete the activity or quiz if one is included.
The parent dashboard shows which videos your child has watched and how they performed on activities and quizzes. This gives you a sense of what your child is learning and where they might need extra practice. You can use this information to decide which topics to focus on or which videos to watch next.
Sikids works best as part of a routine. Many parents use it a few times a week for 15 to 30 minutes at a time, rather than all at once. Consistency matters more than volume — regular, shorter sessions tend to help children retain what they learn better than occasional long sessions.
Canceling a Sikids subscription
To cancel, log into your Sikids account and go to account settings or subscription management. Look for a "Cancel Subscription" or "Manage Billing" option. Click it and follow the prompts to confirm cancellation.
Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period. If you paid for a month, you can use Sikids until the end of that month. If you paid for a year, you can use it until the end of that year. You will not be charged again after cancellation.
If you cancel and later want to resubscribe, you can create a new account and start a fresh subscription. Your previous progress and child profiles will not carry over unless Sikids has a feature to restore them — check with their support team if you want to know whether your data is saved.
Sikids compared to other educational subscriptions
Several other services offer similar educational content for children, including Khan Academy Kids, IXL Learning, and Outschool. Khan Academy Kids is free and covers early elementary subjects. IXL charges a subscription and focuses on practice and skill-building across many grade levels. Outschool connects children with live instructors for group or one-on-one classes.
Sikids differs in that it combines short instructional videos with interactive activities and progress tracking, all in one subscription. It is designed more for independent learning than for live instruction. If your child learns better from watching videos and practicing on their own, Sikids may be a good fit. If your child needs live interaction with a teacher or prefers a different learning style, another service might work better.
The best choice depends on your child's age, learning style, and what subjects you want to focus on. Many families use more than one service — for example, Sikids for math practice and Khan Academy for science — to round out their child's learning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share one Sikids subscription with multiple children?
Yes. Most Sikids plans allow you to create multiple child profiles under one account. Each profile can be set to a different grade level, so the content recommendations match each child's age. You can switch between profiles when you log in.
Does Sikids work offline?
Some videos and content can be downloaded for offline viewing through the Sikids app, depending on your plan. Check the app settings to see which content can be downloaded. Worksheets and printable resources can always be downloaded and used without an internet connection.
What happens to my child's progress if I cancel my subscription?
Progress data is typically stored in your account while your subscription is active. If you cancel and resubscribe later, that data may not be available. Contact Sikids support to ask whether they can restore your account history if you rejoin.
Is Sikids appropriate for homeschooling?
Sikids can be used as part of a homeschool curriculum, but it is not a complete curriculum on its own. It works best as a supplement to other materials and instruction. Many homeschooling families use Sikids alongside textbooks, workbooks, or other educational resources.
Can teachers use Sikids in a classroom?
Some Sikids plans include teacher versions or classroom licenses that allow educators to use the content with groups of students. Check whether your plan includes teacher access, or contact Sikids to ask about classroom pricing and features.
