Educational app for children aged 6–12 with parental control | Mini-lessons, educational games and Narrative Pedagogical Pauses | Nami Kids

Why Nami Kids

Children are digital natives, but inexperienced with online risks. Without rules it's easy for them to end up on apps that aren't suitable for their age, or to spend hours in front of a screen without noticing.

Watching endless videos is passive screen use. Nami Kids adds an active part: during use the game stops and your child does something, a story with a quiz or a real-world task.

What your child finds in Nami Kids

A simple space with clear rules and a guide by their side. Here is what they see on their phone or tablet.

The Pedagogical Pause with Nami

When it is time for a break, the game stops and Nami appears. Your child chooses what to do: an interactive story or a task. When the pause is over, they can go back to playing.

Discover the Pedagogical Pause

Time left, always in view

On the home screen, a ring shows how many minutes of free time are left today. The rules set by the parent become visible and predictable for the child too.

Real-world tasks

Tasks assigned by the parent, such as making the bed or reading 10 pages, appear in Nami Kids. Your child marks them as done and the parent sees it in Nami Parents.

On phones and tablets

Nami Kids works on your child's Android phone and tablet, with the same experience on both.

Our mini lessons

Educational pauses that turn play time into growth.

A wide range of topics

Educational apps and parental control for children aged 6–12

Digital wellbeing and learning through play

Nami Kids was created to turn screen time into quality time. The educational apps for children we offer are not simple games, but carefully designed pathways to train attention, memory and curiosity. Your child can learn through play with content curated by digital education experts, without being exposed to ads or distractions.

Through mini-lessons, quizzes and stories, the app teaches emotional management, empathy and respect for rules. Digital wellbeing is not just "less screen time", but screen time used better.

To learn more about the educational approach, visit the articles and guides section and the experts.

Exploring with parent-approved apps

With Nami Kids your child moves within an environment with clear rules based on a whitelist of apps: they can open only the apps you have approved. This reduces the risk of them ending up on apps that aren't suitable for their age, where inappropriate content, scams or aggressive messages are easier to come across, and lets you give them more freedom to move around independently.

The difference compared to a traditional parental control is that Nami Kids doesn't just block, but guides toward conscious digital choices: through Nami's stories and quizzes your child discovers, step by step, which apps are right for them and how to behave online.

Find out how parental monitoring works on the For parents page and in the frequently asked questions.

STEM skills and coding for kids

Inside the app you'll find pathways that introduce coding for kids, logical thinking and STEM skills (science, technology, engineering and maths) in a playful way. Activities are designed for the 6–12 age range, with simple and visual language, so even beginners can experiment and understand the basics of programming.

Through educational games, challenges and mini-projects, your child practises problem solving, focus and the ability to complete a task. No need to be "good at maths" — the goal is to develop curiosity and self-confidence.

If you'd like to explore these topics further, read the articles on coding for kids and on the role of STEM in childhood.

Educational gamification and real-life routines

Nami Kids uses educational gamification: your child earns points, rewards and progress by completing useful activities (lessons, pauses, offline tasks). This connects fun with growing digital skills and the ability to follow rules.

Beyond on-screen experiences, the app suggests offline tasks (drawing, small household chores, reading a book) that encourage reconnection with the real world. Routines help children structure their day, reducing conflicts and repeated requests.

Clear rules and digital literacy for ages 6–12

Nami Kids is designed for the 6–12 age range, ideal for primary school: a period when children develop abstract thinking and autonomy. The app is not a simple block: your child uses only the apps you have approved and, during use, meets breaks with stories and quizzes. The goal is digital literacy: learning to use devices consciously, with breaks that give a rhythm to screen use and stories that stimulate curiosity and learning.

Many parents ask: "How do I protect my child online without being too strict?" or "How do I manage screen time in an educational way?". Nami Kids was created precisely as an educational digital tutor for children: it guides them step by step through the digital world, with language close to primary school level and attention to inclusivity and special educational needs.

Discover the content in the Nami guide and how to configure it from the Nami Parents app. In our resources we also cover AI literacy (how to teach children to use artificial intelligence responsibly) and digital sustainability: less "empty" screen time, more quality time online and offline.
